This enables the augmentation of physical objects with digital technology (e.g., information processing, communication). The interconnection of such ‘intelligent’ devices leads away from the classical internet of computers towards the ‘Internet of Things’. This development has a wide range of implications in the dimensions of technology, applications and society. A significant area of application areas will be influenced by the ‘Internet of Things’, from private households over mobility to research and industry.}, }
