P2p-based community concept for M2M applications

This publication presents a novel concept to provide and use services in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connected Machine-To-Machine (M2M) community. Service compositions are presented that address several application fields like Ambient Assisted Living, traffic, energy, electro mobility, logistic or surveillance. The successfully implemented concept for optimisation of energy management in the local grid with P2P connected households became more generalised. Now it can be part of M2M application fields of 2nd and 3rd generation. The concept provides an overall solution for information exchange, extended by community mechanism, for convenient networking of peers to use and provide optimised services. Inside the community, the peers can operate as a single peer or operate as a cluster of peers to provide and use the services.
