AllSeenAlliance “A cross-industry consortium dedicated toenabling the interoperability ofbillions of devices, services and apps that comprise the Internet of Things.”Qualcomm kicked this off as AllJoyn and then handed the source code to theLinuxFoundation,fromwheretheAllSeenAlliancewasborn.

The IndustrialInternetConsortium

“The openmembership, international not-for-profit consortium that is settingthe architectural framework and direction for the Industrial Internet.” It wasfounded by AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel in March 2014, with amission tocoordinate vast ecosystem initiatives to connect and integrate objects withpeople, processes and data using common architectures, interoperability andopenstandards

oneM2M “TheglobalstandardsinitiativeforMachinetoMachineCommunicationsandtheInternet of Things.” Itspurpose and goal is to develop technical specificationswhich address the need for a commonM2MService Layer that can be readilyembeddedwithin various hardware and software, and relied upon to connectthemyriadofdevicesinthefieldwithM2Mapplicationserversworldwide.

FiWare “An independent open community whose members are committed tobuildingan open sustainable ecosystem around public, royalty-free andimplementation-driven software platform standards that will ease thedevelopmentofnewsmartapplicationsinmultiplesectors.”

OpenDaylightIoDM OpenDaylight (ODL) is a modular opensoftware defined networking(SDN)platform for networks large and small, and ODL has an initiative calledIoTDM (where DM stands for data management) which aims to deliver opensourceIoTmiddlewaresolutionsbasedononeM2MoverODL.

OpenFog “Apublic-privateecosystemformedtoacceleratetheadoptionoffogcomputingin order to solve the bandwidth, latency and communications challengesassociated with IoT.”Itswork is centered around creating a framework forefficient and reliable networks combinedwith identifiable, secure and privacy-friendly information flows between clouds, endpoints and services based onopenstandardtechnologies.
