Specific Challene: 8he e:olution of the 6nternet of 8hins embedded in Smart 'n:ironments and )latforms formin a
;eb of <e:er#thins< has been identified as one of the next bi concepts to support societal chanes and economic
ro;th at an annual rate estimated at +,=.
8he o:erall challene is to deli:er an 6nternet of 8hins (6o8) extended into a web of platforms for connected devices
and objects. 8he# support smart environments, businesses, services and persons with dynamic and adaptive
configuration capabilities.
8he biest challene ;ill be to o:ercome the framentation of :erticall#-oriented closed s#stems5 architectures and
application areas and mo:e to;ards open s#stems and platforms that support multiple applications. 8he challene for
'urope is to capture the benefits from de:elopin consumer-oriented platforms that re"uire a stron cooperation bet;een
the telecom5 hard;are5 soft;are and ser:ice industries5 to create and master inno:ati:e 6nternet 'cos#stems.
8his topic cuts across se:eral L'68-6C8 challenes (smart s#stems interation5 c#ber-ph#sical s#stems5 smart net;or>s5
bi data) and brins toether different eneric 6C8 technoloies (nano-electronics5 ;ireless net;or>s5 lo;-po;er
computin5 adapti:e and coniti:e s#stems) and their sta>eholder constituencies. 8heir applicabilit# across multiple
application domains (e.. ehealth5 ener#5 food chain5 intellient transport and s#stems5 en:ironmental monitorin and
loistics) brides the ap to applications-specific de:elopments under the (+,+, Societal Challenes.
Scope: 8he scope is to create ecos#stems of <)latforms for Connected Smart 7b?ects<5 interatin the future enerations
of de:ices5 embedded s#stems and net;or> technoloies and other e:ol:in 6C8 ad:ances. 8hese en:ironments support
citi@en and businesses for a multiplicit# of no:el applications. 8he# embed effecti:e and efficient securit# and pri:ac#
mechanisms into de:ices5 architectures5 ser:ice and net;or> platforms5 includin characteristics such as openness5
d#namic expandabilit#5 interoperabilit#5 dependabilit#5 coniti:e capabilities and distributed decision ma>in5 cost and
ener#-efficienc#5 eronomic and user-friendliness. Such Smart 'n:ironments ma# be enriched throuh the deplo#ment
of ;earable /ambulator# hard;are to promote seamless en:ironments
8he Smart 'n:ironment(s) ;ill pro:ide a basis and methodolo# for de:eloperAs communities to test and :alidate in
lare-scale experiments lo; cost applications of e.. ;ireless net;or>s such as BS!s5 C+C5 and net;or>ed ob?ects and
spaces5 as ;ell as heteroeneous deplo#ments and should be dri:en b# use cases.
a% &esearch ' Inno(ation )ctions are focussed on the follo;in:
Architectural concepts and concepts for semantic interoperabilit# for <)latforms for Connected Smart 7b?ects<5 ;hich can
co:er multiple use cases ;hilst respondin to specific re"uirements in terms of securit#5 dependabilit#5 conition and
prioritised e:ent processin.

technoloies and multiple intellient artefacts5 potentiall# includin robots5 and heteroeneous interation le:elsD
d#namicall# confiured information representation and interpretation leadin to an extended 6nternet of 8hins.
9e:elopments include aspects such as:
- 'fficient interation of the next eneration of smart de:ices into self-adapti:e5 robust5 safe5 intuiti:e5 affordable and
interconnected smart net;or> and ser:ice platforms. 8his includes 9#namic Spectrum Access and !et;or> Canaement
techni"ues to sol:e the connecti:it# challenes to enable tens of billions on ne; ;ireless connections for the 6o8.

- Cethods for flexible5 reliable and interoperable A)6s supportin the de:elopment of use cases and allo;in
