The Internet of Things (IoT) is the application of information and communication technology (ICT) to link the physical and virtual world. In recent years we've seen a rapid development of IoT, as it fosters novel interconnection, interaction, and services. As IoT is an important driver in the digitalization of industrial processes, an important subject of current research is how to advance IoT technologies to the level of industrial grade IoT solutions. While a few years ago only a handful of geeks and tech evangelists were teaching the gospel of connecting everything, it is safe to say that has now reached the mainstream. Consequently, we are surrounded by devices. Have you ever consciously counted the number of devices in your household? I did, and besides my dedicated "tech gadgets and computers" several devices, such as my toothbrush, speakers, radio, alarm clock and lightbulbs, are devices, allowing me to connect to them, control them and access their information. The usefulness of the various devices we deal with in everyday life is debatable.
