View source for XMPP-IoT

XMPP-IoT is the XMPP protocol with extensions for IoT (Internet of Things). To manage to get different companies talk to each other devices XMPP-IoT is a new initiative from XMPP.org to make interoperabilty happen. The xmpp protocol is an IoT ecosystem already today, with it being fully open, supporting different business models and with easy integration of devices between the involved companies.

= The IoT world =

The term Internet of Things has many definitions [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things Wikipedia definition] but one of the cornerstones in all views is the seemless interaction between people and things.

Making people to people communication working. Has been the focus for the XMPP protocol suite for many years and it has succeeded in making the communication open and controllable through the XSF foundation.

On the M2M machine to machine area nothing like XMPP has ever existed. We have seen several "If you all do like me" (like Ionworks, KNX, Zigbee, Z-wave) and what they all have in common is that they all have gateways to IP

The evolvement of wifi and initiatives as ipso-alliance and IPv6 together brings the revolution of connected devices and M2M.

The big problem is that they are all trapped in business silos covered by clouds with exploding number of different API's making it very hard to create interoperable inventive services without creating your own hardware.


== Goals of the XMPP-IoT effort ==

In the same manor as XMPP silently has created people to people communication interoperable. We are aiming to make communication machine to people and machine to machine interoperable.

Many of the cennected devices are 

Width the federation of xmpp servers closed services with defined business models are possible but it is also possible to open up sensors to be used in smart cities and wider.

The Swedish "Sustainable Innovation" project [http://www.sust.se/en/ sust.se] (and the other state funded projects reported at [http://iea.sust.se iea.sust.se]) are example of this it spans the domestic business models alarms, heating, ventilation, to create smart energy services it will use this XMPP solution


== XMPP strengths ==

* Proven technology
* Security
* Efficient

== XMPP weaknesses ==

* Provisioning, things that cannot answer friend requests.

== IEEE/ISO/IEC "Sensei/IoT" related standardisation ==
