ABSTRACT
New domains are coalescing within Future Networks, such as the Internet of Things, Internet of Services, Cyber-Physical Systems, Big Data and other areas, giving rise to new research and innovation challenges and demands to experimentation facilities. The Internet of Things: a global, connected network of product tags, sensors, actuators, and mobile devices that interact to form complex pervasive systems that autonomously pursue shared goals without direct user input. A typical application of this trend is automated retail stock control systems. Future Internet systems will integrate a broad range of systems such as cloud services, sensor networks and content platforms into large-scale heterogeneous systems-of-systems. Testbeds and experiments are tools to address research and innovation in “complex smart systems”, in different environments such as cities, manufacturing industry and data-intensive services sectors. The testbed is based on open-source software that allows the design and implementation of new algorithms, enabling new functionalities on the existing hardware.
