5 Scenario track of the IEEE IoT Initiative Ø Within this global track a widespread set of Use Cases, Business Models and reference implementations of IoT is being assembled to provide for IoT community members compelling examples of service descriptions. Ø It serves as encouragement for solution findings for the community members own needs and to derive from them a generic IoT architecture. 5

6 Deriving Input from Scenarios for an IoT Architectural Framework Why? Ø Most current standardization activities are confined to very specific domains and stakeholder groups. They therefore represent islands of disjointed and often redundant development. Ø IEEE P2413 architectural framework is an attempt to overcome this 6

7 Deriving Input from Scenarios for an IoT Architectural Framework IEEE P2413 provides for Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø a reference model that defines relationships among various IoT domains (e.g., transportation, healthcare, etc.) and common architecture elements and a reference architecture that builds upon the reference model defines basic architectural building blocks and their ability to be integrated into multi-tiered systems IoT domain abstractions, and how to document and mitigate architecture divergence 7

8 Deriving Input from Scenarios for an IoT Architectural Framework IEEE P2413 Ø Besides interactions with standardization activities within IEEE, P2413 will strive to establish liaisons with other standardization bodies. Ø Discussions are underway with IEEE , IEC SG8, onem2m, and IIC Ø Work completion timeline:

11 Context: the Rise of Softwarization Key drivers towards softwarization Commoditization of HW, i.e., general purpose HW is becoming more and more powerful and cheap. Cloud computing evolving towards a Fog of very powerful terminals (smartphones) Commoditization of communications, i.e., the ubiquitous availability of communications means Virtualization, i.e., the capability to execute functions and services on virtual computational environments Autonomics & Self-Organization the ability of large system to adaptively & autonomously optimize their behavior Availability of Application Programming Interfaces for several resources and functionalities (pertaining to the Comm, Stor, Proc, Sens/Acting realms) Open Source, i.e., the ability to model resources and functions by means of software communities that share results and tools Big data, the capability to collect data in real time that describe a phenomenon associated with a resource or a person (or groups of them) Softwarization instantiations Softwarization of the Telcos Software Defined Networks (SDN) Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Integration of SDN, NFV with Cloud Emergence of new Services paradigms and Biz Models Servitization: Anything as a Service (e.g., IoT) Pervasive sensoring and actuating Virtual Continuum Creating new Virtual Worlds bridging the Physical WorldMetaverse: Integrating of the Physical and Virtual Worlds Micro-Manufacturing: 3D Printers Big Data Real Time Data management The Bank of User Data Electronic Money Edge as Point of Intelligence Accumulation Smart Terminals Different connectivity options Smart environment. Processing, Storage and Communication resources will be interchangeable. Their composition will allow to provide high quality services, while virtualization and autonomics will allow for system optimization (aggregating resources where they are needed the most) 11

17 17 How Many Things?

18 Are we ready to deal with Billions of smart and independent things? Billions of smart objects cannot be managed in a traditional manner There is the need to move towards zeroconfiguration and autonomic systems 06/12/15

19 One IoT - two different views The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions systems made out of networked sensors and smart objects whose purpose is to measure/control/operate on an environment in such a way to make it intelligent, usable, and programmable and capable of providing useful services to humans. Single Administrative Domain In a single administrative domain Internet of Things envisions a system comprising sensors/actuators, aggregators, gateways and service control. These components use Internet protocols and/or specific sensor protocols to communicate. These systems could be quite large in size and complex in technologies (even if they will tend to use a few of them), but they are homogeneous from a management perspective, at least in processes and governance and in ownership Multiple Administrative Domains In multiple administrative domains, the IoT envisions the integration of several heterogeneous systems as networks of networks, each one using different technologies, interfaces and protocols and governed/managed by different Actors by means of different processes and managements functions. IoT in a multi domain envisions a selfconfiguring and adaptive complex system made out of networks of sensors and smart objects whose purpose is to interconnect all things, including every day and industrial objects in a way as described above 19

20 Agenda IEEE IoT Initiative What IoT is and its several challenges IoT the T means Things IoT and e-health IoT and Data IoT and Communications Concluding Remarks 20

21 Expenditure on E-Health as a percentage of GPD A Challenge: how to use technologies to cut costs and improve quality in the health environment

22 Healthcare is challenged.. Ø by large amounts of data in motion that is diverse, unstructured and growing exponentially. Ø By data constantly streaming in through interconnected sensors, monitors and instruments in real - time faster than a doctors or nurse or hospital can keep up with Nome del Relatore, Nome Struttura 22

23 Big Data and e-health As volume and velocity of health data increases, new technologies such as Stream computing, help to analyse health information in real- time and represent results in a logical way to help caregivers make better decisions. 23

24 Libelium Open Source e-health Sensor Platform The e-health Sensor platform allows Arduino and Raspberry Pi users to perform biometric and medical applications where body monitoring is needed using 9 different sensors: Ø pulse, Ø oxygen in blood (SPO2), Ø airflow (breathing), Ø body temperature, Ø electrocardiogram (ECG), Ø glucometer, Ø galvanic skin response (GSR-sweating), Ø blood pressure (sphygmomanometer) and Ø patient position (accelerometer) 06/12/15

25 Example: biometric and medical applications with body monitoring Source:

26 Supply and demand 26 06/12/15

27 Example: BedSores Ø The approach utilizes thousands of sensors that form an electronic sheet over a mattress to detect in real time the precise distribution of pressure across the mattress. Ø The system links up with a handheld monitoring device that displays images of pressure distribution and sounds alarms if patients need to be turned. Ø The system keeps a history of the patient s positioning that caregivers can access across multiple shifts.

28 Example: BedSores

29 A rehabilitation scenario

30 The European project SEMEOTICONS The empowerment of individuals to self-monitor status and improve life-style, is expected to have a great impact on the reduction of health expenditure 30 06/12/15

31 Some observation on e-health Data E-Health Data will contribute to the Data Surge Many data from health related sources Integration with wellness systems Multimedia data Privacy of data and fair usage There is the need to protect the final user/ patient New ownership of data are to be defined (Bank of user data) IoT and Big Data analysis will go hand in hand Exploitation and monetization of data sets Collection of data and new applications fields is essentially undiscovered

39 Three Communication Environments Long Range Communication (3G, 4G, 5G, ) Personal Devices Short Range Communication (WiFi, BlueTooth, NFC, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, ) The Network is a commodity Intelligence aggregates at the Edges Network Intelligence makes no sense Services and Applications (Cloud and Internet) Control/ Management Communication Smart Environment Communication (capillary network) Network as a fast Pipe Distributed Edge Networked Platform Value of UpLink Control of Spikes of Information Virtualization in the Cloud of Resources Transactional Communication with Guarantees Pervasiveness and high distribution of functions Complete decentralization Autonomic behavior Opportunistic and dynamic usage of resources and networks Integration of processing, storage, communication and sensing 39

40 Anything will be a node! Ø Ø Intel has unveiled a WiFi sliver of silicon that can be part of a normal microprocessor chip. We can expect that wherever we find a microprocessor (e.g. in over 70% of toys, to name just one area) we will find embedded connectivity. Consequently there is a trend in devices: integration of communication, processing, storage and sensing/actuation capabilities Roberto Saracco

43 5G & Internet of Things 5G will be the perfect backbone for the Internet of Things because it will bring together many disparate networks into one unified framework that combines shortrange communications such as RFID and Bluetooth with cellular technology and incorporates small cells and heterogeneous networks. 5G is envisioned as a wireless network that will deliver Ø speeds of 20 Gbps, Ø offer extremely low latency, have less than 1 millisecond and Ø connect billions of devices What makes 5G particularly appealing for IoT, however, is that it will also make it possible to segment out low-bandwidth users and devices that don t necessarily need the high data speeds and huge chunks of bandwidth to work. Instead these 5G use cases just need a reliable connection that is interoperable with other IoT devices and networks /12/15 Fierce Wireless:
