On the usage of standardised M2M platforms for smart energy management

The intention of the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication paradigm is to connect human and physical things related to different aspects in our daily life, in order to enable the development of Smart Cities. Recently, many initiatives emerged developing new solutions to achieve higher energy efficiency for buildings, better transportation management, and stronger Smart Grids. In this paper, we highlight our work in devolving a software reference implementation of the ETSI/oneM2M standards, which promote the research and development at academia and industry to rapidly realize proof-of-concept testbeds for Smart City, and demonstrate the interweaving with other platforms in the M2M communication and Smart Energy area.
