I’ve been focusing more on gainful employment for the past six months than the aiosphere project, so IPSO is probably very old news for others, but it’s very encouraging to see this momentum building, if ever so slowly!  It’s been seventeen years since the internet coffee pot!  I know that’s not technically a smart connected object itself, but it is the earliest evocation I can remember of the idea of the need to connect things, or their status, across the network.

In this IPSO white paper Dunkels summarizes his familiar argument for IP as the common language of connected things.  Although the idea seems to me somewhat simpler when focusing on wireless nodes,  and not worrying about the practical implementation issues at the internet gateway.

Here’s n IPSO paper on IPv6 for smart objects, and one on merging 802.15.4 and IP.
