   <p>The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) are
     becoming important trends in the technology industry. The potential
     to connect sensors, actuators and a wide range of devices opens up
     an enormous opportunity for creating new types of solutions and
     applications in almost any industry. However, the current state of
     the IoT industry is characterised by closed proprietary solutions
     that limit interoperability between solutions and lock customers
     into a particular technology. If the Internet of Things is going to
     be successful it needs to be built on the principles that made the
     Internet successful – open standards and open source software.</p>
   <p>At Eclipse we are creating an open source community that will
     provide the open source building blocks for creating an open and
     interoperable Internet of Things. The Eclipse IoT community provides
     open source projects that developers can use to build their IoT
     solutions. The focus is on providing 1) open source implementations
     of popular IoT standards, 2) frameworks and services required for
     building IoT solutions, and 3) tools required by IoT developers.</p>
   <p>The first Eclipse IoT project started in November 2012. We now have
     12 different open source projects targeting IoT and M2M. Here is a
     quick tour of these projects.</p>

   <h2>Standards and Protocols</h2>
   <ol>
     <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.eclipse.org/paho/">Paho</a>
       provides the client implementation of the Oasis MQTT messaging
       protocol. Paho includes Java, C, C++, Python, JavaScript and other
       language implementation of the MQTT standard.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.mosquitto">Mosquitto</a>
       is the sister project of Paho, providing a server implementation
       of MQTT. We are hosting a test instance of Mosquitto at
       iot.eclipse.org so developers can easily test out their MQTT based
       applications.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/technology.californium/">Californium</a>
       is a Java implementation of Constrained Application Protocol. The
       project is just getting started at Eclipse but the code is
       available on GitHub.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.om2m">OM2M</a>
       is an implementation of the OneM2M standard (previously called
       ETSi M2M standard). OM2M is a set of Java and OSGi services that
       implement the OneM2M standard.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/technology.liblwm2m/">Wakaama</a>
       is an implementation of the OMA Lightweight M2M protocol for
       device and service management. Wakaama is written in C and
       designed to be portable to POSIX compliant systems.</li>
   </ol>

   <h2>Services and Frameworks</h2>
   <ol>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.kura">Kura</a>
       is a set of Java and OSGi services that implement the common
       services required for an IoT gateway, such as 1) I/O connection
       with serial ports, USB, Bluetooth, GPS, Clock, etc., 2) Data
       Services, 3) Remote Management, and more. We have a more detailed
       introduction to Kura available.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipsescada/">Eclipse
         SCADA</a> (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a set of
       Java and OSGi services for creating industrial control systems
       that monitor and control industrial processes, such as factory
       floors or solar farms.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank" href="http://eclipse.org/smarthome/">Eclipse
         SmartHome</a> is a Java and OSGi set of services for home
       automation integration. This project provides a uniform access
       point for the many different home automation devices and
       protocols.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank" href="http://eclipse.org/ponte/">Ponte</a> is
       a broker that will bridge different IoT standards (such as MQTT
       and CoAP) and provide a REST API to these standards.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/rt.concierge">Concierge</a>
       is an implementation of the OSGi standard that aims to have a very
       small runtime footprint so it is suited for small IoT devices. The
       target size for the Concierge OSGi runtime is 300-400KB.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank"
       href="http://eclipse.org/proposals/technology.krikkit/">Krikkit</a>
       is a project to define rules for the messages that pass through an
       edge device.</li>
     <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.eclipse.org/mihini/">Mihini</a>
       is a Lua-based framework for creating applications running on IoT
       and M2M gateways. Koneki is a closely related project that
       implements a Lua IDE and makes it easy to deploy applications to
       Mihini.</li>
   </ol>

   <p>IoT is an exciting new area for software developers. New hardware
     platforms like Arduino, BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi makes it easy
     for developers to experiment with new solutions. Now is a great time
     to experiment with our open source projects. Use them to build new
     IoT solutions, and perhaps start the next project. An open source
     IoT community is what will drive the innovation in the IoT industry.
     We invite you to join us.</p>
