VISIONS OF THE FUTURE IoT can contribute to 3
A SMART HOME A smart Home where no energy is wasted, where lighting is efficient, where interactive walls are able to display useful information, as well as pictures or art, videos of far-away friends or relatives; A home environment that suits ones needs, whether one is reading a book or watching a movie; where all household appliances talk to each other and help solving problems, instead of creating new ones. 4
AN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM An intelligent Transport system where public transport and traffic flow is seamless, where private and public vehicles interact, choose the best path avoiding congestion and preserving the environment, and where multimodal transport is smooth and easy; where parking is not a problem any longer and where alternative means of transport are convenient. 5
A PRODUCTIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT A productive Business environment where offices become smart and interactive and where factories relay production related data in real-time; where remote face-to face meetings are established through holograms, where documents are no longer just paper, but are fully integrated in the work flow, can be traced and automatically linked with additional online information. 6
AN EFFICIENT LOGISTICS AND RETAIL ENVIRONMENT An efficient Logistics and Retail environment where safety and environmental concerns are ubiquitously embedded in all the processes; consumers are supported to have a healthy and convenient shopping experience; where traceability of products is a given standard with access to all relevant product information including quality and sustainability measures. 7
A SAFE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM A safe Health-Monitoring system, always connected, making use of non-intrusive techniques such as sweat and breath analysis, preventing serious illnesses by adapting the environment and by selecting appropriate drugs and diet; where fitness is tailored to one s needs automatically in order to achieve the desired target without injuries and in accordance with one s mood and environment. 8
Internet of Things Architecture Current status Fragmented architectures, no coherent unifying concepts, solutions exist only for application silos No coherent approaches to implement the IoT have been proposed, yet 9 Establishing a common architecture for the Folie IoT 9
Internet of Things Architecture Current status Many island solutions do exist (RFID, Sensor nets, etc.) Little cross-sectorial re-use of technology and exchange of knowledge In essence, there are only INTRAnets of Things existing Sport & Leisure Industry & Production Mobility Home & Health 10 Establishing a common architecture for Folie the IoT 10
Some efforts to establish IoT implementations??? Where is the commonality? How to become interoperable? How to make use of it? 11
IoT-A the EU FP7 IoT flagship project strives to establish and evolve a federating architectural reference model for the Future Internet of Things 12
Project Duration: 2010-2013 (3 Years) Project EC Contribution: 12 Mio. EUR Consortium: 19 Partners from 8 European countries Contact: info@iot-a.eu / www.iot-a.eu 13
IoT-A Objectives Establishing the necessary foundation for realising global Internet of Things principles, Providing guidelines for the technical design of its protocols, interfaces, and algorithms, Building the enabling architectural framework for the IoT, Federating heterogeneous IoT technologies into a homogeneous IoT fabric 14 Establishing a common architecture for Folie the IoT 14
IoT-A Objectives Removing the barriers of deployment and widescale acceptance of the IoT Demonstrating the usability of the IoT architecture in different domains and the added benefit of cross domain interaction ; 15 Establishing a common architecture for Folie the IoT 15
Means of implementation 1. Setting up of an architectural reference model for the interoperability of Internet-of-Things systems, 2. Outlining principles and guidelines for the technical design of its protocols, interfaces, and algorithms 3. Establishing corresponding mechanism for its efficient integration into the service layer of the FI 16 Establishing a common architecture for Folie the IoT 16
Means of implementation 4. Providing a protocol suite based on open protocols centred around a narrow waste 5. Defining a novel resolution infrastructure, allowing scalable look up and discovery of Internet-of-Things resources, entities of the real world, and their associations; 6. Building novel device platform components; 7. Implementing real-life use cases demonstrating the benefits of the developed architecture. 17 Establishing a common architecture for Folie the IoT 17
