The Internet of Things and Open Source (Extended Abstract)

This paper explores divergent visions for the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and business models, and the ecosystem that exists around them. In particular, it examines the role and reach of open source software (OSS) in building and sustaining the IoT, from infrastructure to applications and other value-added device content. Specifically, it explores how OSS can support competing and complementary architectures and meet looming IoT challenges, including security and privacy on this new digital frontier.
