ABSTRACT
The Next Generation Internet initiative aims at maintaining the European lead in advanced network infrastructures and fully exploit the opportunities offered by the connection to the physical work i.e the Internet of Things (IoT), powered by advanced computing capabilities and data infrastructure. IoT technologies and applications bring fundamental changes in individuals’ and society’s view of how technology, business work in the world, and it is therefore an essential element of the Next Generation Internet. IoT is seen today as a disruptive technology for enabling new opportunities and triggering new services and applications. However, collecting massive amounts of data in everyday life poses huge challenges for the user to keep control of his data in terms of managing access, sharing, protection. Novel IoT architecture, platforms and solutions will emerge and will integrate new enabling technologies such as AI, secure Distributed Ledger Technologies, advanced communication networks, in order to meet new user requirements for performance, quality of services, trust, user control data.
