Abstract In the last decade, many
different paradigms related to the named "next-generation technological
systems" have appeared: from the Internet-of-Things to Cyber-Physical
Systems and Machine-to-Machine communications. Traditionally these systems
only consider hardware devices in their designs. However, the experience has
proved that the really valuable solutions are which are human-focused or
environment-focused (biological signal monitoring, people traceability,
assisted-living, etc.). In this context, previous machine-focused paradigms
have to be redefined. Therefore, this paper analyzes the requirements of
technological solutions for environmental monitoring and proposes a coherent
framework for their design. Moreover, most important components are
identified and some relevant problems in this field are addressed; mainly the
identifier management and the system modeling. Finally, a prototype for
people traceability based on the proposed paradigms and Bluetooth Beacons
technology is described. Results showed that the quality of the provided
information is much higher in these new systems than in traditional
approaches. Keywords: Thing-to-Thing communications, Generalized Cyber-Physical
