This publication presents a novel concept for autonomous and decentralised M2M application service provision. The functional architecture of the approach is introduced as well as a detailed description of the system structure and process for application creation. Furthermore, this publication describes details about the proposed process for decentralised M2M application service management and formal description of M2M application services.

This publication presents a novel concept to provide and use services in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connected Machine-To-Machine (M2M) network. Based on the successful implementation in Smart Grid application field, the concept became more generalised and now it is part of M2M application fields of 2nd and 3rd generation. The concept provides an overall solution for information exchange, extended by community mechanism, for convenient networking of peers to use and provide optimised services. Inside an M2M community, the peers can operate as a single peer or operate as a cluster of peers to provide and use the services.

Energy management in Smart Grids and Smart Homes will play a decisive role in future power system. Due to the rising decentralised power generation and its supply to the local grid, the individual households have to become more and more a participant in the Smart Market. Therefore approaches are presented for a framework to design and generate value-added services for management Smart Grids and Smart Homes. It offers users the possibility to design services for managing decentralised energy devices and resources as well as optimise the energy consumption by intelligent energy management and automated service generation and optimisation. These new approaches are based on interconnection of households and algorithms for automated optimisation of energy consumption in single households or whole regions, without assistance of third parties. The interconnection of the households is based upon the peer-to-peer principles for communication and automated optimisation as well as forming a social network, as a so called energy community between the participated peers.
