Terminology — IOT-A: Internet of Things Architecture. Info Up one level This webpage contains the definitions for the main concepts used in the IoT-A project.
In paticular, this page should be used as a common reference while reading all the project deliverables for finding explanations about the terminology. Finally, this webpage will be updated upon each major deliverable release.

Internet of Things - Architecture — IOT-A: Internet of Things Architecture. The Architectural Reference Model (ARM), presented in this book by the members of the IoT-A project team makes it possible to connect vertically closed systems, architectures and application areas so as to create open interoperable systems and integrated environments and platforms.
It constitutes a foundation from which software companies can capitalize on the benefits of developing consumer-oriented platforms including hardware, software and services. The material is structured in two parts. Part A introduces the general concepts developed for and applied in the ARM. It is aimed at end users who want to use IoT technologies, managers interested in understanding the opportunities generated by these novel technologies, and system architects who are interested in an overview of the underlying basic models.
It also includes several case studies to illustrate how the ARM has been used in real-life scenarios. BuddeComm Intelligence Report - M2M, IoT and Big Data - Key Global Trends. AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel form Industrial Internet Consortium for IoT standards. AT&T (NYSE:T), Cisco Systems, General Electric, IBM and Intel are coming together to form a new group to try to create standards for the sensors inside machines and sprouting up around cities as part of the Internet of Things.
The giant companies are touting the creation of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) as a major development--but as GigaOM notes, AT&T, GE, Cisco and Intel announced a partnership last fall, and IBM has been pushing its MQTT standard since last April. Further, in February AT&T and IBM said they would work together on IoT projects. Co-Founds Consortium for "Internet of Things" with AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM. The Internet of Things outlook for 2014: Everything connected and communicating. Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer who co-founded the Auto-ID Center at MIT, which created a global standard system for RFID and other sensors, coined the phrase "Internet of Things" back in 1999.
His Internet of Things (IoT) is a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world via ubiquitous sensors. And sensors can be any device that gathers data and reports that data to a data collection facility such as a data warehouse, a database, or log server. IoT isn't just a fancy buzzword that describes how your refrigerator can let you know when you need to replace your spoiling milk or your rotting vegetables (although it can), it is so much more. How much more is only left to your imagination and to your budget. You can do as little or as much with IoT as you want. Consortium wants to standardize Internet of Things. AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel announced Thursday the formation of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), an open membership, not-for-profit group that will work to bring together the historically separated worlds of operational technology and information technology.
The IIC will work to identify requirements for open interoperability standards and define common architectures to connect smart devices, machines, people, processes and data. Simply put, the IIC feels technologies ranging from simple soda machines to high-powered wind turbines could be made better by being made smarter and more connected, right out of the box. During a conference call Ton Steenman, vice president of the IoT Solutions Group at Intel, said the IIC is a major step forward to drive interoperability and standardization for the Internet of Things.
Governmental agencies are also backing the IIC. Related Coverage: Industrial Internet Consortium: Articles. Industrial Internet Consortium. Internet of Things Consortium.

Let me start with one of the most common questions people ask about our two IoT infographics: How did you count the number of devices?
When we started our initial research back in 2012, it was quite a challenge to find data on the number of connected devices out there. The market was uncertain not only about what a connected device is, but also whether smartphones, TVs, and tablets connected to the web also count as connected devices. Furthermore, the process of recasting M2M to better suit the IoT was still in its infancy (as was discussion of the difference between M2M-connected and IoT-connected devices). Given that there were so few central databases to refer to, we triangulated 15+ sources. Connected devices by 2022 When we continued our research in 2014, however, it had become much easier to access data on connected devices, as analyst firms such as Machina Research are increasingly staying abreast of IoT developments.
