With the spreading of sensors networks, the management of business reality has been progressively changed exploiting t he inherent features of the future IoT and smart objects. Today’s enterp rises need to become self-aware not only in terms of their networked eco system but also in face of their inner sub-systems and devices. Indeed , the integration of service and event technology, smart agents and “sma rt objects” enables enterprise innovation and competitiveness in a glob alized economy. Those enterprises would be capable of sensing and r eacting from physical to complex business incitements, maximizing their innovation potential and sustaining interoperability along the operational life cycle. This paper presents the OSMOSE paradigm for the liquid-sensing enterprise, a novel concept being developed in the context of the Future Internet to enable new business models for the sens ing enterprise. Initial developments and a conceptual architecture are pres ented and illustrated with the help of an on-going industrial scenario.
