These components can be called Smart Actors
and are the basic building blocks of a Peer-to-
Peer Agile Value Creation Network.
At the same time such a network will offer an
economic alternative compared to the classic,
centralized platform models of the current IT-
industry.
In this workshop, we present & discuss the
methodology, the modular concept, the
economical implications and the foundation of
the Internet of Actors (IoA). The IoA will reduce
complexity, programming efforts and unclear
interfaces. It is going to be an enabler for agile,
decentralized, self-coordinating value networks,
acting as catalyst for the Internet of Things,
Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0.
