Ipso Alliance

the ipso alliance is an open, informal and thought-leading association of like-minded organizations and individuals that promote the value of using the internet protocol for the networking of smart objects. there is a market need and urgency for industry leadership in the definition of the next generation of smart objects and the ipso alliance is up to the challenge. no doubt, it is critical in this new era that we continue to drive towards openness and interoperability of smart objects, but also we need to drive towards a common understanding and method of identity and privacy. the ipso alliance has updated its charter to include new generation smart object definitions that contain a number of additional attributes for example: immutable identity model, protocol model, physical model, data model, resource model, service model and autonomous model. these attributes, combined together with references to industry standards, define the next generation ipso smart object framework.
