FutureInternetofThingsandServices2009

The Internet is already everywhere. But the ubiquity of mobile devices and proliferation of wireless networks will allow everyone a permanent access to the Internet at all time and all place.

The Future Internet of Things aims at increasing the pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating every day objects for interaction via embedded systems. Typically this leads to a highly distributed network of devices, which need to communicate with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it has became very difficult to insure interactions with devices on a unified manner. Enabling easy convergence, and interoperability of heterogeneous devices to the Internet will be the key to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover, Future Internet requirements for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems.

The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet.

This workshop targets research and industry trying to connect small embedded devices to the Internet to increase pervasiveness and bring new services to the user.
