中文摘要 AI 辅助
物联网正朝着在多个领域部署数万亿连接设备的方向发展。这些设备不再是简单的感知和执行终端；它们是具有嵌入式处理和智能设备端服务的移动平台。将计算卸载到云和边缘服务器的主导范式是一种垂直的设备到服务器交互模型，无法随这一发展趋势扩展。相反，我们需要一种水平范式，其中设备直接通信和协作，将其计算、感知和执行能力汇集到动态的跨域集群中，而不是卸载到集中式基础设施。我们将这种范式称为协作物联网络（IoCT）。实现这一愿景需要为异构硬件提供可移植且安全的执行基础，以及一个能够在设备协作生命周期中无需人工干预即可进行上下文推理、瞬时信任建立和开放世界适应的智能体控制平面。在这篇立场论文中，我们定义了这种新的通信、计算和协作范式，阐述了智能体边缘人工智能在实现该范式中的作用，并概述了实现可信、自主的IoCT协作所面临的研究挑战和未来方向。
英文摘要
The Internet of Things is on a trajectory toward a trillion connected devices deployed across multiple domains. These devices are no longer simple sensing and actuation endpoints; they are mobile platforms with embedded processing and intelligent on-device services. The dominant paradigm of offloading computation to cloud and edge servers is a vertical device-to-server interaction model that cannot scale with this trajectory. What is needed instead is a horizontal paradigm in which devices communicate and collaborate directly, pooling their compute, sensing, and actuation into dynamic, cross-domain clusters rather than offloading to centralized infrastructure. We refer to this paradigm as the Internet of Collaborating Things (IoCT). Realizing this vision requires both a portable and secure execution substrate for heterogeneous hardware and an agentic control plane capable of contextual reasoning, transient trust establishment, and open-world adaptation throughout the device collaboration lifecycle without human intervention. In this position paper, we define this new communication, compute, and collaboration paradigm, articulate the role of agentic edge AI in realizing it, and outline research challenges and future directions toward trustworthy, autonomous IoCT collaboration.
