Abstract

The traditional Internet of Things (IoT) vision states that passive, everyday objects are uniquely identified through some computer-readable means such as barcodes or RFID so that electronic systems can identify them. The identity is then used to retrieve a virtual representation for the object - a source of information that forms the basis for context awareness, decision making or action invocatoin. It was envisioned that every object in the world could be tagged and that the Internet could provide the network across which these “things” could be active (resolved, interacted, etc.). In this chapter, we describe how this vision converges with the vision for Intelligent Environments (IEs) as Ubiquitous Computing deployments that are endowed with an Ambient Intelligence. In particular we see the marriage of passiveobjects from IoT and active-objects from IE as symbiotic if real-world deployment can ever be achieved - it is from these objects that the fabric of IEs will be woven.
