IERC maintains its Strategic Research Agenda, taking into account its experiences and the results from the on going exchange among European and international experts.

SRA is part of a continuous IoT community dialogue initiated by the European Commission for the European and international IoT stakeholders.

The IERC SRA builds on the 2009 and 2010 Strategic Research Agendas and presents the research fields and an updated roadmap on future R&D until 2015 and beyond 2020.

The result is a lively document that is updated every year with expert feedback from on going and future projects within the FP7 Framework Program on R&D in Europe.

The results give a perspective on experts conceptualizations of what constitutes important research in the field of Internet of Things at the European level within a global context.

IERC SRA forms the foundation for further consultations with researchers and practitioners in the field of IoT and is used as the basis in creating action plans for the future research and development.

"The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking."

Albert Einstein

"The two words information and communication are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through."

Internet of Things Internet of Things (IoT) is an integrated part of the Future Internet

defined as:

where physical and virtual “things”

have identities, physical attributes, and virtual

personalities

based on standard and interoperable communication protocols

into the information network.

and are seamlessly integrated

use intelligent interfaces,

A dynamic global network infrastructure

with self configuring capabilities Internet

of Things

Seamless Integration: An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. Computer Desktop Encyclopedia copyright ©1981-2012

IERC

Internet of Things IoT from a broad perspective can be perceived as: a vision with

technological and societal implications IoT can be viewed from the perspective of technical standardization as:

Based on existing and evolving, interoperable information and communication technologies

Through the exploitation of identification, data capture,

processing and communication capabilities

by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things

whilst maintaining the required privacy.

to offer services to all kinds of applications,

the IoT make full use of things,

A global infrastructure for the information society
