“…Other closely related approaches are social devices and people as a service (PeaaS) concept. PeaaS considers smart phones as virtual representatives of their owners [48]. The same idea is also behind social devices concept which considers smart phones as a companion device that reflect their owner's preferences to the surroundings [49] and then the interactions between the other devices in the surroundings to be proactive and social.…”

Software is the key enabling technology (KET) as digitalization is cross-cutting future energy systems spanning the production sites, distribution networks, and consumers particularly in electricity smart grids. In this paper, we identify systematically what particular software competencies are required in the future energy systems focusing on electricity system smart grids. The realizations of that can then be roadmapped to specific software capabilities of the different future 'software houses' across the networks. Our instrumental method is software competence development scenario path construction with environmental scanning of the related systems elements. The vision of future software-enabled smart energy systems with software houses is mapped with the already progressing scenarios of energy systems transitions on the one hand coupled with the technology foresight of software on the other hand. Grounding on the Smart Grid Reference Architecture Model (SGAM), it tabulates the distinguished software competencies and attributes them to the different parties-including customers/consumers (Internet of People, IoP)-involved in future smart energy systems. The resulting designations can then be used to recognize and measure the necessary software competencies (e.g., fog computing) in order to be able to develop them inhouse, or for instance to partner with software companies, depending on the future desirability. Software-intensive systems development competence becomes one of the key success factors for such cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS). Further futures research work is chartered with the Futures Map frame. This paper contributes preliminarily toward that by identifying pictures of the software-enabled futures and the connecting software competencebased scenario paths.

“…Moreover, to improve the overall privacy in OJS and Social Devices, we have started cooperation with a research group working on with People as a Service (PeaaS) model [9]. PeaaS offers user profiles as anonymous services running on users devices, and hence no information leaves from user's device without user's decision.…”

“…Finally, as Social Devices is a new type of social-digital environment where companion mobile devices represent their owners and have human-like characteristics, we also find several common touch points to People as a Service model (PeaaS) [9], and thus we have already started cooperating with the PeaaS research group.…”

Today's mobile and embedded devices are Internet-connected, and have decent computing power, which creates a possibility for complex, cooperative multi-device platforms. Yet, from user's perspective, it seems that we are not freed to use different technologies seamlessly and without thinking. From developer's perspective, on the other hand, building seamlessly communicating devices requires implementing coordination process separately in an application specific fashion, and yet the devices can only communicate through these specific apps that are not aware of each other.In this paper we introduce Orchestrator.js middleware, which is a tool for readily building multi-user, and multi-device applications in heterogeneous environment. This new lightweight and agile middleware is designed to support Social Devices concept, which aims to bring people together, and increase social interactions when people are co-located. With a concrete example, we also describe the process of building and implementing Social Devices applications with embedded and mobile devices.

“…In fact, many recent research works agree on solving the problems of IoT and the smart cities by adding a paradigm focused on the people [8,9]. The social architecture that inspires ours is called People as a Service (PeaaS) [10]. It is a mobile computation architecture based on the IoP model.…”
