Current M2M/IoT solutions are focusing on communications and integration. Future Web of Things (WoT) evolution will effectively integrate connectivity and content with context, collaboration, cloud, and cognition.

The future Internet of Things will be a global network of in-terconnected objects, enabling object identification/discov-ery and semantic data processing via M2M-IOT C6 cube.• Connectivity: connection for mobile and constrained objects• Content: massive data produced from things• Cloud: cloud service and cloud content storage• Context: context-aware design to improve performance• Collaboration: cooperative communication, inter-things, service sharing• Cognition: mine the knowledge from massive data and provide autono-

mous system adjustment for improvements

Those mobile cloud computing services have made the “phone” a “things” in the Internet and they can be easily ex-tended for other IoT applications such as Google Wallet and mobile resource management (MRM).

Some of the mobile devices such as telematics terminals are both a M2M device connected to the cloud and a smart-phone thin client that receives services from the cloud.

As IP-enabled, affordable sensor devices of all types become available and are placed around the earth forming a “sens-ing cloud,” integrating the diverse sensor data streams into the web can serve different user or machine queries.
