1 Objective ICT EU Japan research and development Cooperation Extending the Cloud paradigm to the Internet of Things Connected objects and sensor clouds within the service perspective Peter Friess / Maria Tsakali peter.friess@ec.europa.eu / maria.tsakali@ec.europa.eu Call opening: 2 nd October 2012 Call closing: 29 th November 2012

2 What are you looking for? Current cloud technology lacks features for secure and flexible services that make use of distributed sensing devices and a high quantity of object instances. The research should focus on the combination of Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and to investigate the development of cloud based service platforms taking into account the IoT perspectives on massive data storage and communication needs in the cloud for the execution of real time services.

3 What are you looking for? Details of scope Sound demonstration on how the Internet of Things concept can be enriched and completed by the Cloud paradigm and approach (on sensor, infrastructure, middleware and applications towards end users level). Establishment of a scalable and flexible service platform architecture for enabling secure and smart, partly virtualised, services with processing, integrating, and visualizing contents combined with ambient real life information. Additional focus on an Internet of Things Cloud reference test facilities for ensuring global interoperability for connectivity, services and privacy by design/trusted solutions. Concentration on the Smart Cities perspective with a) a business context (business process improvements and industrial applications) and b) societal context (social and environmental applications). Road mapping and recommendations for further activities in the combination of Internet of Things and Cloud. Technology for enabling real time secure communication services with connecting trillions objects and cloud service users. Creation of long-lasting partnerships with industry and academia

4 Is this new or has it been called before? Although some EU-Japan co-operation on Internet of Things has taken place in the context of support actions, this collaboration is new and goes one step further. Current project portfolio IOT projects / support actions like IOT-A, Butler, icore IOT-i etc. (Call 5 and 7) are bundled in the IERC Internet of Things European Research Cluster Cloud projects (call 1, 5) like RESERVOIR, VISION- CLOUD, OPTIMIS, CONTRAIL, etc.

5 What do you NOT want? Proposal relating only to Internet of Things and Cloud and not clearly demonstrating the integrated perspective Academia-driven proposals Lack of relevant industry participation on both sides Missing long-term vision and planned activities of the EU-Japan co-operation

6 Key actors Who are the leading players? Industry and academia from both sides are very actively doing research in these two domains, also taking into account the societal perspective Is there a key group of actors or ETP driving this? IERC - Internet of Things European Research Cluster EIoTA - European Internet of Things Alliance (explicitly between EU and Japan) EPoSS Cloud projects (call 1, 5) like RESERVOIR, VISION- CLOUD, OPTIMIS, CONTRAIL, etc.

7 Are there any additional / background documents? Software & services, Cloud projects IERC Clusterbook

8 Future Outlook What are prospects of this area in H2020? This call bridges to H2020 by a) Integrating related and complementary areas b) Focusing on innovation partnerships c) Providing a roadmap for further research collaborations in these areas d) Long lasting industrial and academic partnerships
