ABSTRACT

Do we need to change our focus or strategy from digitisation/connectivity to automatic control (automation)? We work hard to develop a flexible infrastructure of “Things” at this moment. This flexible infrastructure consists of sensors - for example in a mesh network - that are connected to IoT platforms, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM Watson or Microsoft Azure IoT Hub. These platforms make it possible to integrate not only sensors but also actuators and controllers.
Why? We develop these complete infrastructures to serve humans to reach their goals. Humans can share the whole world via IoT!
So, we have a flexible infrastructure of shared resources (capacities, services), but on the other hand we have the goals and needs of the users. Resources are the means to realise the end results. But what happens if we need to share a resource? Is it possible that the (human) goals are going to compete? And how do we solve this shared resource problem in the IoT infrastructure. Do we need coordination or negotiation? And can we automate this kind of control?
