Report from the Smart Object Workshop
Abstract
This document provides an overview of a workshop held by the Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) on 'Interconnecting Smart Objects with the
Internet'. The workshop took place in Prague on 25 March 2011. The
main goal of the workshop was to solicit feedback from the wider
community on their experience with deploying IETF protocols in
constrained environments. This report summarizes the discussions and
lists the conclusions and recommendations to the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) community.
Note that this document is a report on the proceedings of the
workshop. The views and positions documented in this report are
those of the workshop participants and do not necessarily reflect IAB
views and positions.

RFC 6574 Smart Object Workshop Report April 2012
1. Introduction
The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) holds occasional workshops
designed to consider long-term issues and strategies for the Internet
and to suggest future directions for the Internet architecture. This
long-term planning function of the IAB is complementary to the
ongoing engineering efforts performed by working groups of the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), under the leadership of the
Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and area directorates.
Today's Internet is experienced by users as a set of applications,
such as email, instant messaging, and services on the Web. While
these applications do not require users to be present at the time of
service execution, in many cases they are. There are also
substantial differences in performance among the various end devices,
but in general end devices participating in the Internet are
