= Introduction = The term Internet of Things has many definitions Wikipedia definition but one of the cornerstones in all views is the seemless interaction between people and things.

Making people to people communication working has been the focus for the XMPP protocol suite for many years and it has succeeded in making the communication open and controllable through the XSF foundation.

On the M2M machine to machine area nothnig like XMPP has ever excisted we have seen several "If you all do like me" [lonworks ][KNX ][zigbee][z-wave] What they all have in common is that they all have gateways to IP

The evolvement of wifi and initiatives as ipso-alliance and IPv6 together brings the revolution of connected devices and M2M.

The big problem is that they are all trapped in business silos covered by clouds with exploding number of different API's making it very hard to create interoperable inventive services without creating your own hardware.

Goals
In the same manor as XMPP silently has created people to people communication interoperable. We are aiming to make communication machine to people and machine to machine interoperable.

Width the federation of xmpp servers closed services with defined business models are possible but it is also possible to open up sensors to be used in smart cities and wider.

The Swedish project iea.sust.se is an example of this it spans the domestic business models alarms, heating, ventilation, to create smart energy services it will use this XMPP solution

XMPP strengths

 * Proven technology
 * security
 * effiecient

XMPP weaknesses

 * Provisioning, things that cant answer friend requests.
