The Internet of Things


– Me, at Thingmonk, December 2013

“The Internet of Things is Made of

Signals”


Actually…People PLUS

• Objects

• Services

• Sensors

• … Things

!

Basically: a lot more endpoints…


The Web is request/response Web Services ~ RPC


HTTP is document-centric (is it as good for signals?)


Signals are emit/respond (the IoT is NOT the web)


Projects and protocols


A short story of a small community… and

“a little protocol that could”


MQTT is not new - invented in 1999!

!

… so what happened for it to become so

popular?

OggCamp, 25th October 2009 -

@andysc spoke about his automated home

•

… and @ralight made the first Open Source

MQTT broker


By August 2011 (third OggCamp): !

• Client APIs in ~12 languages, for Arduino, mBed etc.

• Specification published royalty-free in 2010

• IBM and Eurotech open call for Standardisation participation

• Adopted by Facebook Messenger…


Today! !• Too many clients to count • New commercial and OSS

brokers • MQTT 3.1.1 standard from OASIS • Core Eclipse IoT Projects (Paho,

Mosquitto, Moquette) • Paho graduating with Eclipse

Luna


It works


Wakaama

OM2M

Moquette Krikkit

Concierge


Open / affordable hardware lowers barriers


The road ahead?


• MQTT-SN, DDS, XMPP and other protocols at Eclipse?

• Security

• Data formats and semantics

• Discovery and classification

Work ahead!
