Autonomous decentralised M2M application service provision

In this publication a novel concept for M2M service platform architecture is presented enabling decentralised and autonomous M2M application service provision. This publication introduces the functional architecture of the approach and describes the system structure and application creation process. Additionally several M2M service platforms are evaluated regarding requirements necessary for decentralised M2M application service provision with end user integration. This publication describes also a decentralised M2M application service management process and the corresponding formal notation of M2M application services.
