IAB Technical Plenary on 'Interconnecting Smart Objects with the Internet'

2011-11-08 01:07:42
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
