The Internet of Things and Open Source (Extended Abstract) - Interoperability and Open-Source Solutions for the Internet of Things - page 5

Quality, portable open source implementations of IoT protocols/protocol stacks.

￿

Frameworks and tool kits for IoT application development on infrastructure nodes
and in the cloud.

￿

Lightweight security mechanisms suitable for leaf nodes but robust enough to
survive sophisticated cracking, and a provisioning and update paradigm matched to
the IoT.

￿

While OSS used the ubiquitous PC/AT architecture as a springboard for Linux and
other software, the IoT won t have the luxury of a relatively homogeneous system

architecture. The good news is that with over two million OSS projects launched to
date and tens of millions of active OSS developers, meeting the unique and emerging
needs of the IoT will be all in a day

'

' s work for OSS and the communities that create

and comprise it.
