Open interoperability model for Society 5.0's infrastructure and services

Abstract

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is considered the foundation of digital transformation in everyday life, the Industrial IoT (IIoT) is considered its business counterpart. Together with the Physical Internet (PhI), they represent the foundation of smart production and logistics as part of the new digitized Society 5.0. Smart grids of different kinds with applications, ranging from power distribution to transportation, represent the infrastructure of smart cities and communities. Like with the PhI, they rely on the acceptance and integration of their services to fully unleash their potential. Hence, apart from the open interoperability model, which enables the interoperability and operational transparency of the IoT and IIoT, consistent design and development of their diverse augmented services is crucial for their wider acceptance as well as their safe and sustainable utilization.
