The IEEE, or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, announced formal collaboration with the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) toward development of a comprehensive reference architecture, or architectural framework, for an interoperable Internet of Things (IoT).  Under the agreement, the IEEE P2413 working group is to provide the Industrial Internet Consortium with draft specifications for the standard that it is developing, as well as a gap analysis relative to current IoT standards.

IEEE P2413 is developing a horizontal architectural framework for the IoT, proposing common definitions and a reference model that defines secure relationships among various IoT verticals (transportation, healthcare, etc.) and common architecture elements.  While the framework effort is horizontal in nature, numerous leading industrial firms are participating in the P2413 effort as well as the IIC. This translates to the very real possibility that devices conforming to the P2413 standard could soon show up in industrial applications.

Under terms of the liaison agreement with the IEEE P2413 working group, the Industrial Internet Consortium is to supply IoT requirements from the industrial perspective.  The IIC is an open membership organization formed to accelerate the development, adoption and widespread use of interconnected machines and devices, intelligent analytics and people at work. The IIC and the IEEE P2413 Architectural Framework for the Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group plan to share stakeholders' expertise on requirements for the industrial IoT and gaps in interoperability standards .
