11.1 INTRODUCTION

The emerging Internet of things (IoT) will interconnect a significantly larger number and broader range of things (devices) than today’s Internet. These additional devices will range from simple sensors to wearable devices on humans and animals; to consumer goods such as clothes and parcels; to complex endpoints such as automobiles, trains, bicycles, drones, smart appliances, and commercial and consumer robots that will each contain multiple‐networked subsystems; to sophisticated systems such as industrial control systems, connected transportation systems, smart buildings and cities, oil and gas systems, and smart energy grids (smart grids).

Industries and academia have been devoting tremendous efforts to building market consensus and developing enabling technologies and standards. The IEEE P2413 (Draft Standard for an Architectural Framework for the Internet of Things Working Group) is developing an IoT architectural framework [1]. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Study Group 20 is developing IoT standardization requirements focusing initially on smart city applications [2]. The Object Management Group (OMG) is developing standards for modeling and managing data and devices in the IoT [3]. The oneM2M consortium is defining standards ...
