IoS is denoting a software based component that will be delivered via different networks and Internet. Research on SOA, Web/Enterprise 3.0/X.0, Enterprise Interoperability, Service Web, Grid Services and Semantic Web will address important bits of the IoS puzzle, while improving cooperation between service providers and consumers.IoM will address the challenges in scalable video coding and 3D video processing, dynamically adapted to the network conditions that will give rise to innovative applications such as massive multiplayer mobile games, digital cinema and in virtual worlds placing new types of traffic demands on mobile network architectures.This future network of networks will be laid out as public/private infrastructures and dynamically extended and improved by edge points created by the "things" connecting to one another. In fact, in the IoT communications will take place not only between people but also between people and their environment.Communication will be seen more among terminals and data centres (e.g. home data centres, Cloud computing, etc) than among nodes as in current networks. Growth of storage capacity at lower and lower costs will result in the local availability of most information required by people or objects. This, coupled with the enhanced processing capabilities and always-on connectivity, will make terminals gain a main role in communications.Terminals will be able to create a local communication network and may serve as a bridge between communication networks thus extending, particularly in urban environments, the overall infrastructure capacity. This will likely determine a different view of network architectures. The Future Internet will exhibit high levels of heterogeneity ("things"physical/real, cyber physical, web enabled, digital and virtual, devices and device models, communication protocols, cognitive capabilities, etc.), as totally different things, in terms of functionality, technology and application fields are expected to belong to the same communication environment.Many colleagues have assisted with their views on this Internet of Things strategic research agenda document.
