Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the global unified standards for the Internet of Things software products and existing de-facto standards (practical approaches). Using specific examples of interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy tags we compared existing approaches to the development and the proposed global standards (FI-WARE). Can the proposed unified approach to the creation of services to cover all the possible use cases and scenarios for Internet of Things and Smart Cities services? The paper emphasizes the need to address the simplicity of the development and highlights the critical importance of such a thing as the time to market for new applications and services. By our opinion, time to market and the simplicity of the development are key parameters for any proposed software standard.
