How to Test the Internet of Everything

Security and privacy dominates all of the concerns being articulated by industry commentators, but for non-trivial systems, significant functional and integration complexity challenges must also be overcome. There are broader societal risks that the IoE brings and government, companies and individuals should pay attention to them.
