a paradigm that considers pervasive presence in the environment of a variety of things/objects that through wireless and wired connections and unique addressing schemes are able to interact with each other and cooperate with other things/objects to create new applications/services and reach common goals.
information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies.
and internetworking between devices and physical objects (i.e. Things) is a growing trend that is often referred to as the Internet of Things The technologies and solutions that enable integration of real world data and services into the current information networking technologies are often described under the umbrella term of the Internet of Things
IoE encompasses the networks that must support all the data these objects generate and transmit IoE demands data center software and hardware that work in concert
connection of people, process, data and things and the increased value that occurs as everything comes online ... things will gain context awareness, increased processing power, and greater sensing abilities. Add people and information into the mix and you get a network of networks where billions or even trillions of connections create unprecedented opportunities and give things that were silent a voice (that is, the concept of Network Effects) ...
process, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before - turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for businesses, individuals, and countries.
billions of machines and objects creating what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT) This integrates various technologies including RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), M2M (Machine-to-Machine) service platforms and WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks)
now embedded with sensors and/or actuators as well as the capability to communicate over the Internet These uniquely identifiable smart objects have the ability to sense and even influence the real world. In doing so, they produce large volumes of data that flow to and from computers and servers.
both managed and processed, creating new challenges regarding data security, data management and data processing The interconnection of multiple things that can both sense and communicate in (near) real-time will continually provide information to the Internet and is expected to stimulate the creation of numerous innovative applications and business models
are becoming connected to networks, from televisions and cars to industrial machinery and farmland. Tiny devices are even being placed into the human body to perform useful tasks. The new technology enables control to be exercised from a distance and lets different devices interconnect to do something new ... The Economist 2007
technology that many are calling the Internet of Things (IoT). Machine to Machine (M2M), Machine to Infrastructure (M2I), Machine to Environment/Nature (M2N) , the Internet of Everything (IoE), the Internet of Intelligent Things, Intelligent Systems - call it what you want, but it’s happening, and its potential is huge! ...
in different ways, and it encompasses many aspects of life – from connected homes and cities to connected cars and roads to devices that track an individual’s behavior and use the data collected for push services ...
interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environments and infrastructures. As a result, huge volumes of data are being generated, and that data is being processed into useful actions that can command and control things to make our lives much easier and safer - and to reduce our impact on the environment. ...

the IoT where everyday devices and objects, are connected by fully integrating them to the Web Unlike in the many systems that exist for the Internet of Things, the Web of Things is about re-using the Web standards to connect the quickly expanding eco-system of embedded devices built into everyday smart objects. Well-accepted and understood standards and blueprints (such as URI, HTTP, REST, Atom, etc.) are used to access the functionality of the smart objects (Wikipedia)
