Contest entries will be, in part, judged on how well the solution exemplifies the ideals of a smart system in one of these categories.
In general, smart systems "incorporate functions of sensing, actuation, and control in order to describe and analyze a situation, and make decisions based on the available data in a predictive or adaptive manner, thereby performing smart actions. In most cases the “smartness” of the system can be attributed to autonomous operation based on closed loop control, energy efficiency, and networking capabilities." Wikipedia

Optionally, the team may also provide amplifying artifacts to assist others in understanding the solution or following a similar pattern to create another solution for the use case. This "Artifacts" may include but is not limited to:
- Code and other components to the working solution (must be contributed under open source license - Apache 2)
- Testimony from end users (or potential end users) of the solution on its merits and use
- Sample data used by or produced from the solution (to include any performance statistics)
- Any additional artifact items that will assist the judges in understanding the solution or perceiving it as satisfying a real world use case requirement
