This document summarizes a research paper on the Real World Internet (RWI) published in 2008. It discusses the evolution of the Internet from primarily human-centric information exchange to integrating physical objects and the real world through technologies like RFID, wireless sensor networks, and networked embedded devices. The RWI aims to allow ubiquitous wireless access and interconnection between virtual and physical worlds, enabling applications in healthcare, logistics, transportation, and more. Key challenges to the success of the RWI include managing heterogeneous devices at scale, ensuring security and privacy, and developing standards for representing real-world information.

2. RWI Overview
RWI Vision
Key factors for the success of RWI
Research Orientation
Conclusion
Real life example (Video)
3. The Internet
Is evolving - in its use and in its technology
Born from the vision to create an open infrastructure
Has become the socio-economic backbone
Early applications were remote login and file transfer
before www emerged as the main driver
Human centric information exchange is the main
concern today, such as email, audio and video files or
real-time multimedia communications
4. Integrates diverse Human Generated Information
Sports
Science
Shopping
Weather
Maps
NEWS Financial
Technology 4 l
5. The Internet infrastructure
Also evolving besides its application.
Extended its reach to mobile users and end devices
with next generation networks.
This evolution has lead to a patchwork of fixes.
Requires the rethink of fundamental pillars of the
Internet architecture
6. Internet of Things (IoT)
Enabled the internet to reach the real world.
Initially based on RFID or WSAN.
Now spawns a wide variety of devices termed
Network Embedded Devices (NED).
Targets multiple domains including automation,
energy, e-health etc.
Has been driven by more recent ideas to integrate
the real world into the Internet.
Expected to collaborate with Internet of Service (IoS)
and Internet of Energy (IoE)
7. Wireless networks will allow everyone permanent
access to the Internet at all times and all places.
This wireless connection is not limited to user
devices,
◦ Almost any artifact from clothing to buildings can be
connected and collaborate as a NED.
“Intelligent things” and “Smart Spaces” will be
formed by the interconnection of artifacts
embedded in real environment.
Almost real time interaction between the virtual
world and real world.
10. Cross-layer collaboration is expected to be
a key issue in a highly dynamic and hetero-
-geneous infrastructure where NED’s are
more powerful with respect to computing
power, memory, and communication.
11. Cross-layer Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)
based collaboration in the Real World Internet
12. Expected applications
Ambient assisted living and health care
Supply chain monitoring and logistics
Efficiency for transport, energy and facility
management
Improved Augmented Reality simulations
Social and leisure applications
Manufacturers can create extended products
13. Social Devices
Embedding social capability in objects and devices
Sharing experiences and knowledge among devices
Help each other to overcome any problem
Their Characteristics are
Should be uniquely identified
natively designed for collaboration
integrating local and global information
able to interpret all the exchanged information at a
semantic level
Trusted devices with built in security
14.
15. Identity Management
Efficient Integration with the Internet
Highly composable information to generate new
and innovative services
Standardised way of describing information about
the real world
Integration of security and privacy protections at
the NED
The combination with other adjacent areas
Secure, reliable real time network infrastructure
16. Management, scalability and heterogeneity of
devices and users
Networked knowledge and context
Privacy, security and trust
Real World Internet generated network traffic
17. The RWI is an interdisciplinary domain which
Involves the characteristics of the IoT with the
vision to integrate the real world into the Internet.
Fundamental Design is very important to let the
RWI grow organically within the space of the future
Internet.
Only time will say how the RWI will grow to reflect
our vision.
