The Emerging Domain of Cooperating Objects

Abstract

As mentioned before, Cooperating Objects is an emerging domain that can be identified by the key characteristics of the participating devices and systems, predominantly from the cooperation aspects of the constituted objects that depend both on the virtual as well as real world. Clearly they represent an evolutionary step of pre-existing approaches and built upon them. There are several concepts that share common ground with Cooperating Objects such as Cyber-Physical systems, Internet of Things, Internet of Services, M2M, robotics, system of systems, autonomic systems, etc. In this chapter we focus on the definition of each related area and show the similarities and differences with Cooperating Objects. Additionally we give some examples of domains where Cooperating Objectsplay a pivotal role in order to better make understandable the context they operate on.
