Hi all,
The desire to connect almost anything to the Internet is greater than ever.
There are many reasons for incorporating IP into every day devices and for some
they may be driven by lower cost, the need to interwork with other Internet
applications, the quality of the protocol specifications, or simply the
availability of source code. As IP meets constrained devices new use cases and
requirements are being raised and several working groups have standards
developing efforts ongoing, such as the CORE, the 6LOWPAN, and the ROLL working
groups. Of course, all IETF activities are equally applicable to constrained
devices.
To learn more about architectural challenges the Internet Architecture Board
held a workshop on 'Interconnecting Smart Objects with the Internet' in Prague
in advance to the IETF#80 meeting and published a report soon afterwards,
available at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-smart-object-workshop
The report illustrates some of the challenges the industry is facing in an
attempt to improve interoperability in areas where IP has not been used before.
This technical plenary is devoted to the topic of smart objects and will
summarize the workshop and solicit feedback from the wider IETF community.
Jari Arkko will summarize the workshop report and Hannes Tschofenig will
moderate the panel discussion where Fred Baker, Zach Shelby, Carsten Bormann,
and Robert Assimiti will share their views with the community.
We are looking forward to an interesting discussion and please read
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-smart-object-workshop as you prepare for
the IETF meeting.
Ciao
Hannes
