Where is the Bruno Latour that came out in October, from Making Things Public? Or even We Have Never Been Modern, which introduces the idea of the parliament of things?

I compiled this list for discourse and rhetorical analysis... I use stuff like that to evaluate stuff like this... Latour's parliament of things and/or dingpolitik is not the 'internet of things'. If it were, my research would be much more interesting to technologists and businesses, as well as to certain kinds of design practitioners ;)

You could add:

RFID : Applications, Security, and Privacy
(sounds and looks awful, but contains a lot of great stuff)

Spychips
(overly hysterical, but important)

You're missing key stuff -- this idea goes back further than you'd think from the recent hype. Look up Roy Want's work with RFID at PARC and the cooltown project from HP Labs. See e.g.:

HPL-2000-16 People, Places, Things: Web Presence for the Real World

paradiselost: thanks for the link to the hp piece (i've added it up front).

it's a good addition because it actually talks about "things" which was my primary interest in compiling this list...originally i had planned just to trace the actual phrase "internet of things" but it sort of ballooned from there...and as far as i can tell, the public appearance of the phrase is fairly recent. (my dissertation covers developments in ubiquitous and pervasive computing since the late 80s, and i was curious to know how this recent hype connects.)

Hi,

You can add this : Mediacups: Experience with Design and Use of Computer-Augmented Everyday Artefacts.
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/beigl00mediacups.html

Paper about cups that talk together, 1999.

And this :
Interaction in Pervasive Computing Settings using Bluetooth-Enabled Active
Tags and Passive RFID Technology together with Mobile Phones http://www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/res/papers/106-siegemund-floerkemeier.pdf

There is an augmented egg-box in it.

You should also add the papers from Mark Weiser, the "father" of ubiquitous computing. Such as http://nano.xerox.com/hypertext/weiser/SciAmDraft3.html .
