In April 2009, some of the leading figures in industry and academia
gathered in Dresden, Germany for the International Research Forum.
This gathering, sponsored by SAP Research, explored the future of
the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things represents the
frontier where the digital and physical worlds meet. It is network
of interconnected devices that provide real-time information about
the world. These technologies are now expanding outside the closed
loops of factories and supply chains and extending into broader and
more complex applications. This explosion of digital information
will transform business processes along the entire product
lifecycle: raw materials, manufacturing, logistics, retail,
consumer, and even disposal and recycling. For two days, these
thinkers at the IRF 2009 put their collective intelligence to work
to explore this frontier and envision its future. They heard
presentations from prescient observers, engaged in lively debate,
and made bold predictions. The sessions explored four cornerstones
of the Internet of Things: End-to-end real-world awareness
Infrastructure of the Internet of Things Potential killer
applications Future manufacturing These sessions produced many
provocative questions-not all of which could be answered at the
forum. The authors of this book conducted several months of follow
up research to ascertain how the Internet of Things would unfold in
key areas. Unlike most other conferences, the IRF2009 did not end
with the final session but continued to generate insights long
after the participants had gone home. The second half of this book
illuminates how the Internet of Things will play out in domains
such as: Standards Data management Barriers to adoption
High-resolution management New business models in diverse sectors
such as manufacturing, supply chain management, retail, services,
and energy Directions for future growth
