"More research is required into the intelligent fusion of multiple data sources to provide an accurate context within which a measurement is taken. In fact it has been suggested that the development of sensors and hardware may outpace the development of the computational systems required to make proper use of the data, so a situation may arise where the data is available but there are no systems able to use it! An interesting research development is the MIT M language [31] which is a Wiki based approach aimed at developing a software solution to integrating multiple disparate data sources."

Ref. 31 is:

For this paper, we won the Plowman Award in 2004. This is given by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP).

Evidently this project is associated with Harvard University.
