Design of RESTful APIs for M2M services

The upcoming communication aim will not focus on connecting humans by different kinds of multimedia services, but also connecting machines of different aspects, providing a global smart world. The telecommunication industry is currently moving towards service-oriented infrastructures based on Internet Protocol (IP), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP). In this paper we introduce the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) trend of communications, which evoked more interest recently, and describe a set of proposed Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to interact with our new OpenMTC framework at FOKUS.
