During last 4 years, we have seen an explosion in terms of numbers of new platforms. At the beginning of 2015, our counting went over 200, but we have discovered many others during the second part of 2015.
Motivation and opportunities: a multitude of highly-specialised IoT solutions which target niche markets
A promising landscape can easily turn into a deployment and management nightmare especially for small stakeholders!
Clear separation of concerns between stakeholders – focus on their specific solutions and business models
Virtual Personal Assistants (across platforms)
Cross-layer approach
IoT platforms as black boxes, closed platforms contributed by SMEs. Will be ehnaced by additional symbIoTe service (e.g. bartering and trading of resources) otherwise noti provided by native platforms.
