This is the story of how 19 organizations?including major corporations, national governments, universities, and research institutions?collaborated on an ambitious research and development (R&D) project at the cutting edge of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how the results of that project can now help me find a bicycle to rent in La Coru?a, Spain, when it has been a long day and I am just too tired to walk anymore. Of course, if that were all it did, this would not be much of a story, but there is more.
