The Internet Of Things

Introduction - Internet of Things in 2020

DG INFSO and EPoSS realised that they were sharing the same vision of an Internet of Things as the result of several shifts – from systems to software-based services, from passive RFID tags to active RFID tags and wireless sensors, to the mythic Semantic Web, from identification to real-time 'sense and response', from exposure to privacy, and from protection to trust.

DG INFSO and EPoSS look forward with confidence and enthusiasm to meeting the challenges of the Internet of Things, especially by working together and with all other organisations and experts willing to develop plans to ensure the potential of the Internet of Things for our economies and society can be fully met.

 Joint EC / EPoSS Expert Workshop "Beyond RFID - The Internet Of Things"

On 11 and 12 February '08 more than 80 distinguished experts from industry, academia and from public authorities gathered to discuss future trends and visions related to the Internet Of Things.

The expert workshop was co-organised by the European Commission and the EPoSS working group RFID.

The workshop was focused around the four topics:

PEOPLE, TECHNOLOGY, PROCESS, VISION

Each sub-workshop discussed intensively and controversially the multi-faceted workshop theme from very different points of view to establish a common understanding for the impact, potential roadblocks and recommendations for future strategies towards an Internet Of Things.
