ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things and Services makes it possible to create networks incorporating the entire manufacturing process that convert factories into a smart environment. The cloud enables a global infrastructure to generate new services, allowing anyone to create content and applications for global users. The use of IP to communicate with and control small devices and sensors opens the way for the convergence of large, IT-oriented networks with real time and specialized networked applications. IERC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda covers the important issues and challenges for the Internet of Things technology. It provides the vision and the roadmap for coordinating and rationalizing current and future research and development efforts in this field, by addressing the different enabling technologies covered by the Internet of Things concept and paradigm. The Internet of Energy applications are connected through the Future Internet and “Internet of Things” enabling seamless and secure interactions and cooperation of intelligent embedded systems over heterogeneous communication infrastructures.
