Abstract:
Human capacities to track and identify peers, products and activities have benefited from the wide proliferation of networked electronic devices; developments in smart-materials, near-field communication and computervision technology further advance these capabilities. During this investigation into The Internet of Things (IoT) a new taxonomy was created together with a set of prototype applications and accompanying architecture. In addition to presenting these taxonomies the creation of a peer-to-peer network with a distributed database is discussed. The development of a system that enables users to track and exchange objects or services using a secure and robust data repository model is also proposed.
