Abstract: A method for operating a system hosted on a mobile entity is disclosed, wherein the system is operable to connect to a communication network. The method, performed by a controller of the system, comprises seeking to establish a trust relationship with a cooperating system hosted on a mobile entity, and, if a trust relationship with the cooperating system is established, performing at least one of: initiating use of a resource provided by the cooperating system, or initiating provision of a resource for use by the cooperating system. Also disclosed is a method for operating a function comprising a digital representative of a system hosted on a mobile entity, wherein the system is operable to connect to a communication network.

Abstract: An IoT electronic device executes services distributed by an IoT service orchestration device. A Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) request message is received. The LwM2M request message contains a LwM2M object identifying hardware resources of the IoT electronic device for which characteristics are requested. A LwM2M command is executed that accesses a LwM2M interface identified based on content of the LwM2M object to determine the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device which are identified by the LwM2M object. A response message contains information identifying the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device. The response message is communicated toward the IoT service orchestrator device. A service image is received for execution which is adapted by the IoT service orchestrator device, responsive to the information in the response message identifying the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device.

Abstract: A method performed by a machine-to-machine, M2M, server for managing communication with a M2M device is disclosed. The method comprising configuring the M2M device with a finite number of predetermined states and predetermined transitions for moving the M2M device into one of its predetermined states, and sending a message to the M2M device for executing at least one of the predetermined transitions.
