An Australian team is building the foundations of the smart home of the future, with an alliance of the world's most powerful technology companies appointing local software developer Two Bulls to expand the AllJoyn internet of things framework. Originally developed by Qualcomm, the open source AllJoyn framework allows smart devices to discover each other and work together regardless of manufacturer. The AllJoyn framework is now overseen by the AllSeen Alliance — formed in 2013 and backed by dozens of technology heavyweights including Microsoft, Cisco, Sony, Sharp and LG.
