  1. From “Smart Objects” to “Social Objects”: The Next Evolutionary Step of the Internet of Things Luigi Atzori, Antonio Iera, Giacomo Morabito

  2. “Things” ? • With increasing advances in technology, introduction of “smart objects” such as phones, televisions, and automobiles • Communication between: people, smart objects and people, and objects and other objects

  3. Res sapiens: smart objectRes agens: acting objectRes socialis: social object

  4. Thing-to-Thing Communication? • Creating their own social network • Through partnership in the thing’s social network, proficiency in building complex services would increase dramatically • Data gathered by one object could be shared with another, thus providing the user with a plethora of information needed for the task at hand.

  5. Current Projects

  6. Example of Application • Urban traffic efficiency. • Drivers can rely on maps and other applications where data is derived from an external server, but this can lead to inaccurate and outdated information. • If, instead, the driver’s car can collect data from the cars it passes, which can then view data that car attained, accurate traffic flow could be gathered.

  7. Conclusion • While the thought of allowing the development of relationships between smart devices leads to many science fiction stories and is an independence that could be scary and foreign to the general public, the benefits of such research could lead to more productive, technology-aided lives.
