Imagine that you are an agricultural contractor and you want to be able to see, where all your machinery is right now, and what they are doing. Or that you are a farmer sitting at home in front of your desktop computer wanting to schedule the following day’s spraying of your fields – and to send the spraying schedule back to your tractor’s ‘computer’.

Turn the power plants up and down
On a liberalised electricity market, where both we as customers and Energinet.dk – who are responsible for our security of supply – can purchase electricity wherever we want, both nationally and internationally depending on where it is cheapest, it would be a clear advantage if it were possible to turn the electricity production on the Danish power plants up and down and thus adapt production to demand. |

Kirk Polycom - multilingual programming
In the instant that you pick up your phone to make a call, the phone does not care at all whether you are speaking in Danish, English or Urdu. What does matter, however, is the programming langauge used when developing new wireless phones.
Embedded systems need to speak Java
In the autumn of 2007, a new network project, Java Object in Embedded Systems, was initiated. The purpose of the project – in which CISS functions as project manager – is to exchange experiences and knowledge and in the longer run to equip Danish companies working with embedded software optimally to use Java as their programming language of choice.
