The Internet of today offers access to content through the web via multiple channels. The next evolution will make it possible to access information related to our physical environment through a generalized connectivity of everyday objects. A car may be able to report the status of its various subsystems using embedded communicating sensors for remote diagnosis; personal devices may deliver the latest status of healthcare information of remotely cared patients to a central spot; environmental data may be collected and processed globally for real time decision making. Access to information relating to our surrounding environment is made possible through communicating objects able to interact with that environment and react to events. This evolution of networked devices is also known as the Internet of Things (IoT) and creates space for new application classes. IoT is a highly promising economic sector for sustainability, growth, and innovation. The challenge is to assess the right abstraction and complexity level of “things” involved in order to promote research on the benefits and the control that we want to retain over an environment where machines will gather, exchange, process, and store information automatically.
