Internet Evolution
• Human-centred Internetsupporting values of openness,cooperation, decentralisation,inclusiveness and protection ofprivacy;
• Control to the users in order toincrease trust in the Internet.
• Provide more transparentservices, more intelligence,greater involvement andparticipation,
• Internet more open, robustand dependable, moreinteroperable and moresupportive of socialinnovation.
• Convergence of Consumer,Business and industrialInternet

Human-centered IoT
Human-centered IoT in the era of convergence of technologies such as Tactile Internet, distributedarchitecture, edge processing, distributed security, artificial intelligence, robotic things and blockchain
Blockchain-based platforms to securely connect artificial intelligence with IoT at the network edge.Shared distributed ledger, database that features strict confidentiality, access and consistencyrequirements.
The integration of these technologies into IoT applications also raises challenging questions about, forinstance, security breaches and the right to privacy.
AI, robotics and blockchain technologies are intertwin with next generation IoT and distributedarchitectures

Convergence challenge
AI moves IoT systems towards autonomous decision making and thus has the potential to optimise andmanage IoT systems like never before. Intelligence can be both embedded into and distributed amongindividual devices.
Blockchain as a form of a distributed ledger technology can address the trust challenge, by offeringtransparent processes and solutions that people and businesses can trust.
Robotic technologies have been integrated into existing network technologies to extend the range offunctional values. In IoT, robots become ‘things’ equipped with sensing and actuating capabilities.
