The COG-LO Framework: IoT-based COGnitive Logistic Operations for next generation logistics.

Objective of COG-LO is implement and assess a framework which exploits Internet of Things (IoT) concepts and technologies to improve effectiveness and efficiency of logistic operations. The COG-LO framework is based on the Cognitive Logistic Object (CLO) concept which represent any entity involved in logistic operations augmented with cognitive capabilities.CLOs are also enriched with social-like capabilities and therefore, COG-LO builds on the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) concept. Such capabilities allow the seamless ad-hoc interaction between logistic entities even if managed by different operators. To this new types of relationships will be integrated in the SIoT concept.
