Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) has entered the next stage of development bringing new values through IoT- enabled pilots with broader vision of IoT as a combination of connected devices, connectivity, software, platforms, stakeholders, information and applications as part of integrated ecosystems and new IoT driven business models. IoT technologies and applications have been moving towards a network of intelligent objects with social capabilities that need to address the interactions between autonomous systems and humans. IoT technology coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) can form the foundation of improved and eventually entirely new products and services. The powerful combination of AI, IoT, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Blockchain brings new challenges in addressing distributed IoT architectures and decentralised security mechanisms.
