Using sensors, they are able to perceive their context, and via built-in networking
capabilities they would be able to communicate with each other, access Internet
services and interact with people.
Forerunners of this development are already apparent today more and more
devices such as sewing machines,exercise bikes, electric toothbrushes, washing
machines, electricity meters and photocopiers are being computerized and
equipped with network interfaces.
In other application domains, Internet connectivity of everyday
objects can be used to remotely determine their state so that
information systems can collect up-to-date information on
physical objects and processes.

Challenges
CHALLENGES
In addition to the expectation that the technology
must be available at low cost if a large number of objects
are actually to be equipped, we are also faced with many
other challenges, such as:
1. Scalability,
Basic functionality such as communication and
service discovery therefore need to function equally
efficiently in both smallscale
and large-scale environments.
2. Arrive and operate
Mobile things, need to establish connections
spontaneously, and organize and configure themselves
to suit their particular environment.
3. Interoperability
An Internet of Things each type of smart object is likely
to have different information,
processing and communication capabilities. However, to
facilitate communication
and cooperation, common practices and standards are
required
4. Discovery
In dynamic environments, suitable services for things
must be automatically
Identified.
5. Software complexity
An more extensive software infrastructure will be needed
on the network and on
background servers in order to manage the smart
objects and provide services
to support them.
6. Data volumes
Infrequent communication such as sensor networks
entail huge volumes of data on central
network nodes or servers.
7. Data interpretation
Generating useful information from raw sensor
data that can trigger further action is by no means a
trivial undertaking.
8. Security and personal privacy
We might want to give things only selective access to
certain services, or prevent them from communicating
with other things at certain
times or in an uncontrolled manner
9. Fault tolerance
Structuring an Internet of Things in a robust and
trustworthy manner would require redundancy
on several levels and an ability to automatically adapt to
changed
10. Power supply
Things typically move around and are not connected to a
power supply, so their smartness needs to be powered
from a self-sufficient energy source.
11. Interaction and short-range
communications
Active NFC units are small enough to be used in mobile
phones; passive units are similar to RFID
transponders and are significantly smaller, cheaper and
do not need their own
power source.
12. Wireless communications
Established wireless technologies such as GSM, UMTS,
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are far less suitable;
ZigBee and others still under development
may have a narrower bandwidth, but they do use
significantly less power.
RFID and the EPC
network
RFI
D
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is primarily used to identify objects from a
distance of a few meters, with a stationary reader typically communicating
wirelessly with small battery-free transponders (tags) attached to objects.
History
1990s, RFID technology was restricted to niche applications such as animal identification,
access control and vehicle immobilizers. High transponder prices and a lack of standards
constituted an obstacle to the wider use of the technology.
The Auto-ID Center and its successor organization EPC global have systematically pursued a vision of
cheap, standardized transponders identifying billions of everyday objects, and they have developed the
necessary technology jointly with commercial partners.
The evolution of RFID and its associated infrastructure technologies in recent years also highlights
challenges involved in realizing an Internet of Things in the broader sense of the term.
The development of RFID over recent years is reflected not only in technical progress
but also in cost reductions and standardization. For example, the power consumption
of the latest generation of transponders is less than 30 W, with reading distances of
up to ten meters possible under favorable conditions.
The systematic development of RFID technology now means it is used not only in the
commercial supply chain, but also in numerous other application areas. For example, RFID
is used to manage books and media in libraries, to locate tools and other portable
inventory items in factories, and even in the apparel industry, where RFID systems ensure
that the retail store shelves are regularly replenished with the appropriate clothing items.
Everyday objects that are to be addressed in an Internet
of Things using RFID technology will therefore not behave in
exactly the same way as Internet nodes. The RFID reader
would act as a gateway between the two different protocols.
TCP and HTTP-based protocols have been developed for use
in RFID environments, where they are used to configure
readers and distribute the data captured via the Internet.
EPC
NETWORK
Infrastructure such as the EPC network will play an important role. The EPC network
takes its name from the Electronic Product Code a structured identifier that
uniquely identifies each individual product-related RFID transponder.
The aim of the EPC network is not only to enable RFID technology to identify objects,
but also to simplify the processing and exchange of the data captured.
The EPCIS standard represents a fundamental part of this network, and is already supported by many
software manufacturers. It defines events that can be used to link the RFID data captured by readers with
contextual information. For example, EPCIS events cannot only tell when and where a particular transponder
was detected, but also provide information on associated business processes or application events.
The EPCIS standard also defines an interface that can be used to search for such events in repositories. If the
repositories that hold information on a particular RFID transponder are known, one can follow the trail of
the object to which it is attached.
In practice, there are numerous problems associated with this type of global information scenario. These
difficulties show that there are still many challenges relating to applicability, scalability and security that need
to be overcome before we can achieve an Internet of Things that supports such global queries.

1. Economic development
IoEs growth in the public sector will rely on governments making it part of their broader economic
development strategies.
Governments also need to consider the way that IoE-based systems are planned and
implemented, and, in particular, how citizens expectations of openness and
accountability can be met.
The Internet has led citizens to demand greater transparency and accountability as
information has become more freely available about governments and the activities
of government agencies and their employees.
The fundamentals of developing a strategy for the Internet of Everything are not very
different from those of any other technology-related strategy, whether how to obtain and
manage the resources financial, technical, or human and how to achieve them.
At the most general level, governments might begin by asking these questions:
As promoter of economic development
As provider of services
As policymaker and regulator
