Today, most industrial contenders are advocating for their versions of IoT, while mainstream research efforts address singular views of scalable sensing, massive RFID-based identification, and other topological remedies to handle the ensuing Big Data communication and sense-making processes. IoT architectures need to expand on the functional capacity and interaction of "things"; beyond sheer sensors and actuators, as they take center stage in the next generation IoT. This will facilitate the understanding, and subsequent optimization, of interdependencies of complex IoT systems.
