Yannis B. writes "This week, a group of leading technology vendors that include Cisco, Sun, Ericsson, Atmel, Freescale, and embedded open source developers, founded the Internet Protocol for Smart Objects Alliance to promote the Internet of Things, where everyday objects such as thermometers, radiators, and light switches, are given IP addresses and are connected to the Internet. Such IP-enabled "smart objects" give rise to a wide range of applications, from energy-efficient homes and offices to factory equipment maintenance and hospital patient monitoring. For Slashdot readers who are interested in the underlying technology, a white paper written by well-known embedded open source developer Adam Dunkels and IETF ROLL working group chair JP Vasseur establishes the technical basis of the alliance."
