Approaches for a legal framework

Highly topical
Real-life relevance

The Internet of Things as an emerging global Internet-based information architecture

facilitating the exchange of goods and services is gradually developing. While the
technology of the Internet of Things is still being dis-cussed and created, the legal
framework should be established before the Internet of Things is fully operable, in order
to allow for an effective introduction of the new information architecture. The regulatory
framework must provide for provisions ensuring the security of the structure as well as the
privacy of its users. Furthermore, legal barriers that may stand in the way of the coming
into operation of the Internet of Things are to be considered. The Internet of Things has
positive effects in different fields, such as the inclusion of developing countries in global
2010, XXIV, 135 p. trade and the use of search engines to the benefit of civil society.
