Summary: Decentralized identifiers are a perfect complement to the event channels in picos and provide the means of performing secure messaging between picos with little effort on the developer's part. Picos are Internet-first actors that are well suited for use in building decentralized soutions on the Internet of Things.

Pico Labs , my lab at BYU, demonstrated picos that acted as Hyperledger Indy agents and were able to connect to each other as well as other Indy agents like the AgentBook demo from Vonx. Picos are designed to act as digital twins or device shadows for the Internet of Things (IoT). from NASA TV (CC0).

Summary: This post describes some changes we're making to the pico engine to better support a decentralized mesh for running picos. Picos are Internet-first actors that are well suited for use in building decentralized soutions on the Internet of Things. This blog post discusses some initial thinking about promises and picos.

Bruce Conrad who works on picos with me implemented the TicTacToe protocol for picos, which are DIDComm. Fuse with Two Owners shows an introduction protocol for picos I used in building Fuse in 2014 before picos used DIDComm. I'd like to revisit this as a way of building introductions into picos using a DIDComm protocol.

Summary: The original pico engine, KRE, is no more. But the ideas and capabilities of the platform live on in the new pico engine. And the new pico engine is working so well that we use it for everything now. But the ideas that it spawned live on in the pico engine. Tags: picos kynetx kre kynetx fuse.

I'm Robert Vamosi, and in this episode I'm talking about pico CTF, one of the best known CTS for people entering the field, and even for those among us looking to grow their personal knowledge. So I called up someone from pico CTF, to learn more. Kearns: I love pico so much I just always want to talk about it.

Summary: Picos show that image-based development can be done in a manner consistent with the best practices we use today without losing the important benefits it brings. Picos and Persistence. Picos are persistent compute objects. Persistence is a core feature of how picos work. Picos exhibit persistence in three ways.

Picos provide a model for exploration. My vision for picos is that they can operate on a decentralized mesh of pico engines in a similar decentralized fashion. Picos are already encapsulations of computation with isolated state and programs that control their operation. You can create and use DIDs in a pico.

Picos are a good solution for the endpoint—where the data ends up—but the sensor still has to get connected to the internet. My short term goal is to start using these with Picos and build out some rulesets and the UI for using and managing LoRaWAN sensors. Tags: iot helium lorawan picos.

Summary: Picos make building decentralized applications easy. This blog post shows a heterarchical sensor network can built using picos. Picos are designed to form heterarchical, or peer-to-peer, networks by connecting directly with each other. And the new pico can create children of its own, and so on.

The agents I'm envisioning here are smart, rule-executing agents like those available in picos. Picos provide a powerful model for how a decentralized, heterarchical, interoperable Internet of Things can be built. Picos provide an DIDComm agent programming platform that is easily extensible.

You just pull it right off and you have a smart meter.
