Abstract

• While the Internet of Things is bringing a vast
  variety of market sectors usages together it
  also is creating a battlefield and a race for
  sector leadership in the standards environment.
• In addition, the promise of IoT to connect the
  world has also created the need for universal
  identity and interoperability of Intelligent
  Things.
• In order to be successful, the next generation
  set of standards will require cohesiveness and
  composability across a number of market sectors
  for the connection of Intelligent Things to
  become reality.

The IoT Standards Environment
Formal Standards in all 5 Sectors are creating
End to End (E2E) IoT Architecture Frameworks to
address the connection of Things.
Standards Creation reflects business
opportunities this race is about IoT
monetization creating the potential for market
transformation.

Standards harmonization will even become very
difficult if not impossible.
The end-customer is probably not a person but an
entity, thing, or a system. A new type of
marketplace will emerge creating these new
businesses.

A single IoT Standard is not achievable given the
market dynamics and business opportunities.

How do you distill and take the first steps.

• I would like to speak about three fundamental
  topics today
• Smart Objects
• Interoperability
• Testbeds

7
Smart Objects - Definition
Autonomous Model
Smart Objects Comprehensive Data Model
Smart Objects Comprehensive Information
Model Information (Thing Data) (Analytics)
Services Model
Resource Model
Protocol Model
Data Schema Model
Immutable Identity Model
Physical Model
Intelligent Things

Smart Objects Identity and Privacy
What is Immutable Identity and is it really
possibleor is it really needed?
Things become Intelligent and Autonomous.
Connection to the Internet and Cloud is optional.
Who are you? What is your provenance? Can I trust
who you say you are? Do you associate with a
community or family? How do I verify who I am
speaking to? I only want to tell you want you
need
Things will have multipleSmart Object Personas.
Is Identity a fundamental component of a Smart
Object Marketplace?
How do Smart Objects establish a Trust
Model? Should Privacy be a part of the Smart
Objects Model?
Context Awareness is mandatory for
establishing Trust.

Smart Objects Libraries, Repositories, and
Registries
Multiple Registries will exists in many forms
Governments, Organizations, Standards, Vertical
Solutions, ...

Interoperability - Importance
IoT Systems heterogeneous, large-scale,
distributed systems with multi-vendor
building-blocks
An aircraft jet engine is built with 25,000 parts
A passenger car is built with 30,000 parts
A win turbine is built with 8,000 parts
There are more than 10,000 types of medical
devices
all of which are from hundreds of suppliers.
We need Interoperability to build systems, create
systems of systems, to keep cost low, to reduce
risk, to spur innovation,
11
Interoperability - Definition
IIRA Levels Requirements Aspects Human Language Model
Integrability Compatible signals and protocols Communication Compliance Syntax how words can be arranged
Interoperability Common conceptual models Understanding Conformance Semantics the meaning of individual words (in context)
Composability Mutually shared expectation in behaviors Action Comprehension Pragmatics the meaning of sentences and higher level structure (discourse)
Composability Example An intelligent thing
understanding the difference between Chain
Supply verses Supply Chain

How to achieve Interoperability?

• IoT Standards EnvironmentTenets
• Interoperability
• Security
• Identity / Access
• Scale
• Business Intelligence
• Reliability/Dependability
• Safety
• Proxy/Agent
• Privacy

• Consumer internet was based on having
  integrability
• compatible protocols, established through the
  RFCs
• IoT looks to
• Integrability compliance for communications and
  protocols
• Data Interoperability conformance in the short
  term
• Intelligence Composability in the longer term ?
  safety, security, resilience
• Key Challenges
• Shared or collaborative architectures and models
  ? concerted efforts
• New approaches to achieve composability to
  satisfy safety other concerns
• Substantial Investment needed for
  interoperability testing

Testbed as a Service (TaaS) Paying for the
large investment

• An Open Horizontal TestBed (OHTB) Program could
  bring a systematic management approach to the
  construction of the foundational recipes and
  ingredients of any IoT Reference Architecture
  Implementation Viewpoint, for a consistent build,
  construction guidelines, and ensure all Testbed
  tenets, for example, Interoperability, Scale,
  Security, and Business Opportunities are being
  assimilated.
• The mission of an OHTB sponsor would be to offer
  Testbed ingredients, recipes, and menus and
  operational capabilities to other vertical
  TestBeds and innovation centers or organizations
  for scalable monetization of Testbed investments
  and cross-cutting interoperability of IoT Service
  and Solution Delivery Systems.
• Support a scalable economical approach from a
  Proof of Concept (PoC) to Large Scale Deployments
  (LSD) programs. Create an environment that
  facilitates collaboration, acceleration, scale,
  and business models for all paying participants.

Creating Testbed as a Service (TaaS) Programs
across consortia and many other organizations
will enhance the ability to normalize the large
investment necessary to build practical on-ramps
for large scale deploys of complicated system of
systems.

Conclusion

• IoT Standards interoperability and composability
  are necessary for market adoption and horizontal
  solutions with a common understanding that Smart
  Objects are a key to enable an open marketplace
  and create platforms for innovation and jobs.
• Companies, Organizations, and Governments need to
  work and potentially nudge together to prevent
  grid-lock and enable passage.A potential

A few days ago, a drone captured this eye-popping
video of the worlds worst traffic jam on the G4
Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway 50 lanes
converging to 20 lanes.
