Abstract
The advancements in technology and increased need for streamlined business operations demand new ways in cooperation. In recent years, the Internet of Things has been recognised to be an important future technology, providing new opportunities for enhancing the exchange of information and status updates on real-time regarding business operations. Therefore, Internet of Things concepts have been adopted by several businesses to improve operations. This chapter describes the challenges that arise when implementing the ideas of the Internet of Things, regarding technology, interoperability and architecture of Internet of Things-compatible systems. Besides introducing the basic theories and concepts used to attack the mentioned challenges of Internet of Things applications, this chapter presents the EU-Framework Programme 7-funded project EURIDICE, which aims to conduct the concepts of Internet of Things to provide an open information platform for the transport sector utilising “Intelligent Cargo”.
