consortium during the first and the second project years. Beside the reported activities, it is also a

refinement of the plans from the project proposal stage.

WP5 – “Exploitation, Dissemination and Standardisation” is divided into three tasks: Task 5.1

"Exploitation", Task 5.2 "Dissemination, Communication and Replication", and Task 5.3 “Supporting

Standardisation".

1.2 Scope of the Document

in detail along with plans for exploitation activities.

Chapter 3 describes dissemination strategies, all required actions, each partner’s role and plans related

to dissemination of project results.

Chapter 4 describes Wise-IoT standardisation activities and plans, including interoperability events.

Chapter 5 presents main innovations and expected impacts through exploitation, dissemination and

standardization activities.

2. Exploitation Plan

8

2 Exploitation Plan

Wise-IoT will stimulate a joint approach of a new market in which products and services are based on

the obtained results. Together with the Project Management Team, Task 5.1 is in charge of preparing an

exploitation plan that will include the needs and requirements of the partners.

For exploitation, the participating companies plan to involve their industrial partners and stakeholders

in the design of technically feasible and scalable commercial products from the project concepts and

results, and cooperate in the transfer of acquired knowledge to industry. The consortium will also

cooperate to promote the adoption of the developed functionalities by other parties not involved in the

project.

Market outreach of Wise-IoT results within a time frame ranging from 3 to 5 years and the Market

Demonstration of pilot services developed by the project in the Pyungchang Olympic and Paralympic

Games (2018.02.09 ~ 02.25).

2.1 Exploitation strategies

To support the effective transformation of WISE-IoT research results into potential marketable products

and accompanied by successful commercialization, extensive exploitation activities need to be planned,

which will last for the entire duration of the project. The starting point will be an analysis of the relevant

market including fine-grained market segmentation, identifying potential audiences and associated

tailored strategies. An important aspect is to raise awareness with respect to the advantages and effects

of novel solutions offered by the project. The WISE-IoT partners follow a stepwise approach in

exploitation activities, and plan to ensure maximum exploitation of project results:

Figure 1: WISE-IoT exploitation axes

Considering the various categories of the project results – Methods, Software tools, Models, Guidelines

– the exploitation strategy adopted by the WISE-IoT consortium will incorporate four main exploitation

axes towards the wide adoption and potential commercialization of the project results. These four axes

are addressed below:

Axis 1: representing the “research market”, constituting the core exploitation activities of the

participating research bodies and the academic institutions that are mainly involved in applied research

activities. The WISE-IoT research institutes (IMT-TSP, CEA, KETI) and the involved universities (LJMU, UC,

FHNW, SJU, KNU) in the consortium will focus on: building the scientific community, incorporating

significant parts of the developed technologies in their teaching activities, and designing a number of

follow-up research projects and initiatives at both national and international levels. These activities could

2. Exploitation Plan

9

be considered as the “scientific exploitation” of the project results, and could be targeted at promoting

the overall solution as a whole, thus constituting the project’s primary market, as well as the individual

research developments and their individual markets. Furthermore, they would exploit other results such

as the collaborative enterprise networks, business services, collaboration platforms, and novel interfaces

related communities. The WISE-IoT technology development companies (CEA, GBD, EGM, NEC, TID, SDS,

SKT, Solu-M) will also exploit this axis, namely in cooperation with the academic partners, and towards

the follow-up research projects and initiatives.

Axis 2: representing the “products market”, to be addressed mainly by the technology development

members of WISE-IoT, and including a number of options, as exemplified below:

o The “commercial roll-out model” that will focus on the commercialization and productive

deployment of the overall solution and integrated platform, for serving manufacturers in the

development of new product-service systems.

o The “commercial integration market”, which foresees the incorporation of individual research

results into already existing platforms and services at the respective individual market. As such,

research institutes and industrial partners are going to have significant benefits by

commercializing their individual R&D results, through their integration with current software

solutions that they maintain.

Axis 3: representing the “services and technology consulting market”, which is the axis standing for one

of the main exploitation activities of those project partners interested in transfer and consulting on

technological know-how, (i.e. LJMU, UC, FHNW, SJU, KNU), and the technology providing SMEs (i.e. EGM,

Solu-M, GBD). These WISE-IoT partners are going to focus on the delivery of technology consulting

services: to the early adopters in industry, to the new technology providers and integrators, as well as to

the SMEs’ networks and associations. These “technology exploitation” activities are targeted mainly in

promoting individual research & developments know-how to selected industrial users and to technology

transfer bodies. The end-user companies (i.e. TID, SKT, SJU andKETI) will exploit training services, both for

in-house development of a new product engineering culture and for the better integration of their

suppliers.

Axis 4: representing the "standardization sector", while not directly related to monetary returns; this axis

also represents an important enabler for wider adoption of the WISE-IoT results. As such, the academic

partners and industrial companies will explore their links to various standardization bodies and other

industrial organizations, in order to influence the adoption of models and guidelines developed by the

project. The research partners, through their links to professional and scientific associations (i.e. IEEE,

ACM) will promote the developed frameworks in those communities.

The Business & Exploitation Plan (BEP) is a key enabler for the success of this project. Along with the

identified axes, the BEP shall deal with intellectual property rights (IPR) issues, taking into account the

EU policies, including those fostering the transfer of technology to SMEs, and promoting the use of open

source technology as well as cloud-based environments.

In order to implement a consistent Exploitation strategy, the BEP document will be developed taking as

a reference to the guidelines from the Business Model Generation. Taking this framework as a reference,

the planned Business Model & Exploitation Plan will explore the aspects shown in Figure 2.

2.3 Plans for exploitation activities

In order to attain the strategic goals of WISE-IoT and to achieve concrete results during the project,

which can be applied to the real world immediately after the project completion, the consortium has

agreed on a multi-step iterative approach. As such, all research activities focus on the goal and the big

picture of facilitating collaborative product-service design, focusing primarily on optimization and

sustainability. In this sense, WISE-IoT will release regular outputs during the project in order to gain

experience with different complete components, synchronized with the defined milestones. In this way,

different functioning models can be evaluated throughout the project which increases the real world

relevance and experience. Upon finalization of the project, these components will have passed a cycle

of continuous and iterative improvement so that they are then ready to be released. As such, at each

milestone, an exercise of exploitability assessment will be performed, leading to a progressive

refinement of the exploitation plan, and providing the needed feedback from results’ exploitability to

the technical WPs.

Figure 3: Phases in the exploitation plan definition

2. Exploitation Plan

15

Furthermore, based on the validation results and the lessons learnt with the pilots, a set of guidelines

consolidating the generated knowledge will be elaborated. This consolidated set of results constitutes a

fundamental instrument to facilitate practical exploitation of assets, as it covers the typical gap

traditionally found in research projects that often miss the last stage of consolidation and preparation

for (re-)use of generated knowledge.

3. Dissemination Plan

16

3 Dissemination Plan

Task 5.2 is responsible for the dissemination of results, by determining an overall strategy for the

consortium while preparing press releases, stimulating coordinated submissions to target journals,

workshops and conferences. In general terms, Task 5.2 arranges all activities related to the

dissemination of the Wise-IoT project results within the research community and towards markets

players.

This task undertakes the dissemination of project concepts, developments and findings to all key actors

in the field in an interactive way, integrating their feedback at key points of the specification, design,

development and evaluation work. Additionally, the project communicates key findings and research

problems in the scope of the core technical work packages through its social media linked to the major

influencer and community of developers and stakeholders in IoT platforms and solutions. Other social

networking tools (e.g., twitter) are also considered to disseminate activities and results, and engage

communities of both technical professionals and general public. The dissemination plan will be updated

periodically to include all the activities carried out by the partners. Graphical branding of the project has

been made by a professional designer to contribute to higher impact.

It is expected to contribute to: i) high visibility of Wise-IoT in published papers in international journals

and conferences, ii) joint academic workshops between EU and Korea for research collaboration and iii)

joint demonstration between EU and Korea in a big IT convention.

3.1 Dissemination strategies

All WISE-IoT partners have clear motivations to pursue the results of this initiative, and are committed

to apply their best efforts in exploiting project results.

Planned dissemination is responsible for communication of the project results towards stakeholders,

potential customers, interested communities and all other relevant audience groups, which in one way

or another might participate in the adoption of the project results. Every project partner will ensure that

dissemination activities will be carried out nationally, and if applicable will contribute to dissemination

internationally. As such, dissemination aims at generating value for industries and academia from the

project results of the EU-Korea cooperation.

As soon as the first exploitable deliverables are created, the project partners will disseminate the project

results of WISE-IoT to both scientific and industrial communities and other target groups in the EU and

Korea, in order to stimulate awareness. The dissemination content should prepare and convince the

audience of the benefits of the (expected) project outcomes.

3.1.1 Disseminating results to industry and society

WISE-IoT addresses industrial targets at the global level such as the following:

Contributions with technical papers, demonstrations, or talks at relevant international conferences,

symposiums, workshops, ICT initiatives, technical events, industrial forums, and cooperation with

European stakeholders;

Production of cutting-edge research material suitable for publication in international journals (ACM, IEEE,

Wiley, Elsevier, etc.);

Updates of Wise-IoT project to be published at the website, providing the latest information on project

activities and achievements;

3. Dissemination Plan

17

Cooperation with other projects in related areas;

Standardisation of suitable developments.

Contacts to the above target groups are already established by the partners within the project

consortium, especially for what regards the industrial partners and software providers. As such, as soon

as possible, research results will be communicated for creating external awareness and knowledge

building within the targeted industrial communities. Furthermore, relevant project results will be

disseminated as early as from the first stage of development. Dissemination and demonstration

activities to industry will take into account industrial markets of reference, selecting the best and most

relevant events for dissemination, and for planning demonstration activities, and these events will be

mainly centred on raising awareness and transfer of knowledge, solutions, and technology. Some of the

currently planned activities include:

Participation in major industrial and trade events, to give presentations and distribute project dissemination material, and specifically events with a potentially interested large audience will be targeted. Both presentations and provision of leaflets constitute main vehicles for dissemination and exploitation;

Making press releases and publishing articles in specialized trade newspapers & magazines;

Organizing focused workshops, and inviting European/international community to discuss issues of interest for the project;

Planning public relations events: we will organise regular events particularly targeted to industrial users;

Providing News releases and Newsletters: we will periodically produce a regular awareness newsletter that will be sent to interested parties;

Participating in events organised by the European Commission (e.g. ICT conference) or projects’ cluster

events.

Organising interoperability test events.

3.1.2 Scientific dissemination

3.1.2.1 Scientific dissemination activity

Scientific dissemination activity will be planned mainly by the research partners within WP5. It envisages creating the framework for disseminating scientific results through the appropriate channels, to secure an optimal knowledge transfer to all relevant research parties. Some of the actions will include:

Creation of a table of recommended scientific dissemination channels, following standard scientific

quality criteria (e.g. channels indexed in the Web of Science, IEEE Explorer, SCOPUS, etc.).

Depending on the forum, scientific publications will be adjusted to the targeted audience.

An active publication policy will be pursued, based on the most innovative aspects of the project.

Achievable qualitative and quantitative targets will be set during the dissemination planning; minimal indicators are shown in the Table 2.

Because of restricted resources and time, the focus for participation in events is on high-profile and focused scientific conferences on related fields. Scientific conferences sponsored by international technical societies (e.g. IEEE, IFIP, IFAC, ACM) are particularly targeted.

For publications of the most valuable project developments and final results, high impact scientific journals are considered.

3.1.2.2 Indicators

4. Standardisation Plan

24

4 Standardisation Plan

Standardisation efforts are an essential part of the interoperability strategy for the project. Without

standards to back up the developed technology, any interoperability efforts run an increased risk of

marginalization due to lack of market wide adoption. The standardisation efforts will begin early in the

project with identification of expected outcomes on requirements and architecture. And then, the bulk

of the standardisation efforts will be done continuously by the partners who have strong expertise and

experience. The project will target oneM2M and FIWARE including other SDOs (e.g. ITU-T SG20, GS1,

W3C, IETF, etc.), and encourage joint contributions and participation to these bodies and

interoperability testing events among partners. As key activity to strengthen standards and

specifications, a minimum of 3 interoperability events will be supported by Wise-IoT in cooperation with

standard development organisations.

Contributions submitted in key standardisation fora and participating in interoperability testing events.

Standards (technical reports, specifications and/or recommendations) reflected key results from the

project activities.

4.1 Standardisation strategies

Overall, controlled overlapping ensures the graceful completion of the project, while reducing key

technology risks.

The consortium possesses other qualities as well, including: (a) Participation and contribution to

European policy and technology specification groups such as the IERC cluster, the IoT Forum and AIOTI,

(b) Ability to reach and dissemination results to very broad international audiences (e.g., through EGM

which managed international collaborations of the EU-IERC), but also to the European research

community (through several participants to FIRE, IERC and ECP clusters and partnerships).

The fact that the partners have an excellent understanding of the requirements of the IoT

standardisation process with the leadership as a chair of related groups and how experimental testbeds

and related experimentation can permit strengthening of standards under development.

Wise-IoT consortium has its DNA from the standardisation environment and in a context where new

Alliances and IoT standards emerge regularly. The consortium knows that there is not a one-fits-all

solution for IoT but that heterogeneity will remain a characteristic of any deployment and that offers

have to be made to allow interworking and interoperability among solutions. Thanks to their chairing

positions in the main IoT related standards and Alliances, Wise-IoT intends to contribute to International

Standardisation and/or Forum activities, and community building in the following ways:

Provides feedback related to field testing of solutions interworking (such as OIC, IIC, etc. together with

oneM2M) to the relevant standardisation committees. Such contributions will be made as presentations

or formal contributions to the committees and Alliances.

The EU FIWARE initiative was built on top of OMA NGSI 9/10 context interface specifications (driven by

NEC) and then got its specification evolving to fit the enlarged FIWARE community needs. To increase

market adoption of FIWARE solution, FIWARE specifications will be brought back to standardisation by

the creation of FIWARE Industry Specification Group in late 2016. Three (TID, NEC and EGM) of the

founding members of that ISG belong to Wise-IoT from Wise IoT. Wise-IoT will then be at the forefront of

FIWARE standardisation and will encourage South-Korean partners to join these efforts. Preliminary

interest has been raised already by KETI. This collaboration will also take place within GSMA in which

4. Standardisation Plan

25

Wise-IoT pilots will be part of the IDE project" within the GSMA Connected Living programme to define

an architecture and a set of APIs to facilitate the development of interoperable applications.

Wise-IoT intends to advance state-of-the-art in relation to large scale semantic interoperability through

its use within the practical but still challenging case of a recommendation system. Such field knowledge

is highly expected by standardisation institutes and Alliances such as oneM2M (which will include first

semantic annotations as part of its release 2 and the Wise-IoT partners NEC and KETI are key drivers of

this activity), ETSI SmartM2M (in relation with adoption and maintenance of SAREF ontology as a

standard, which is being supported by NEC), W3C, and many others.

With respect to users' privacy, security and trust management, a number of standards focusing on

network security and cybersecurity technologies have been developed in various standardization bodies.

The scope of these standards needs to be expanded for taking into consideration privacy and trust issues

for various IoT applications. ITU-T has recently created the Correspondence Group on Security and Privacy

for IoT as well as started the new work on the future trusted ICT infrastructure to cope with the emerging

trends considering social and economic issues. Wise-IoT will contribute to develop standards for end-to-

end security and trust with the leadership of these groups in ITU-T. WISE-IoT members are contributing

to the IEC-MSP white paper on “Secure and Smart Product Platforms” and will continue driving the next

generation of IoT platform standardization.

Overall Wise-IoT progresses will allow evaluating on-going definition of reference architectures such as

the one provided by AIOTI WG3 in Europe or efforts made by Korean IoT Association for expanding IoT

services through real field testing and strengthen corresponding architectures and standards.

4.2 Plans for standardisation activities

4.2.1 Targeting standardisation bodies and fora

The WISE-IoT project will build upon a number of national and international initiatives in both Europe and Korea. These linkages already exist thanks to the carefully chosen members of the consortium, who are partners in these initiatives.

On the European side, WISE-IoT will link specifically with the following initiatives:

FIRE: The FIRE community advances the development and harmonization of experimentally-driven research methods and platforms to ensure the continuous relevance, rigor and robustness of the research and the strategic research agendas. Relation between WISE-IoT and the FIRE initiative naturally exit thanks to the presence of WISE-IoT partners (CEA, UC, EGM, NEC) in several of current and past FIRE projects (FED4FIRE, SmartSantander, FIESTA, FESTIVAL, OrganiCity).

FIWARE: FIWARE is a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) to develop the core technologies for the Future Internet and make those technologies available. When Wise-IoT will start, the core development of FIWARE will end, but the uptake of FIWARE as a platform for Europe will be in full swing. Wise-IoT will contribute to the further development of the FIWARE open source platform by providing the semantic interoperability to standards like oneM2M, OiC, or AllSeen. FIWARE is coordinated by TID, NEC leads FIWARE standardisation activities as well as development of the FIWARE IoT context broker. EGM is involved in the building of a trust and confidence program.

IERC: The European Research Cluster on the Internet of Things is one of the most trans-organizational actor of the Internet of Things research in Europe. Within this cluster, foundational project such as the IoT-A having developed architecture reference model for the IoT. The cluster is organized into activity chains through which research projects tackle transversal thematic of wider interests. WISE-IoT partners are highly present there and lead several of this activity chains: - AC1: architecture and open platforms initiative (CEA) – AC4: service openness and interoperability (EGM) as well as the international activities (EGM).

AIOTI: The Alliance for IoT Innovation is a core instrument for the European Union and the academic and industrial partners for jointly discussing the direction for IoT technologies. The different AIOTI working groups are setting the stage for defining the requirements of future research direction in IoT for Europe.

4. Standardisation Plan

26

Wise-IoT partners are heavily involved in many areas of AIOT, ranging from leading e.g. AIOTI WG8 on Smart Cities (TID) to contributing to the requirements documents, the research cluster (IERC) and High-Level Architecture documents (WG3). Wise-IoT will actively be part of the AIOTI community for bringing its result to the European Alliance for IoT.

SUPERSEDE: SUPERSEDE is a concurrently running Horizon 2020 project developing a toolkit designed to help evolving applications and enhance software quality with the aim of managing Quality of Experience. WISE-IoT will integrate SUPERSEDE feedback mechanisms for enabling self-adaptation. It thereby contributes with enhancements and validation to the SUPERSEDE technology. FHNW is involved in both projects.

International: In addition to these initiatives, EGM and CEA WISE-IoT partners are strongly involved in international activities such as (i) ECIAO, facilitating coordination and support to EU-China cooperation on Future Internet Experimental Research (FIRE) and IPv6 (ii) Two EU-Japan projects, coordinated by CEA, ClouT and FESTIVAL, on IoT and smart cities with strong partnerships of leading European and Japanese industry as well as universities and research centres in the area of IoT and cloud computing and (iii) On an individual basis, Wise-IoT partners are engaged in research collaboration on IoT topics with Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and many other countries.

In Korea, WISE-IoT will link specifically with the following initiatives:

KIC (K-ICT for IoT Cluster): The KIC started by Korean government driven project which includes two associated IoT demonstration projects: Busan Global Smart City Cluster and Daegu Daily Healthcare Cluster. The smart city project demonstrates several IoT services such as smart streetlight, smart parking, building energy management, etc.. Daegu daily healthcare project is based on oneM2M compatible IoT platform and provide health care services including general healthcare, pilot health maintenance, teenager obesity management and cooperative medical treatment. Wise-IoT will provide advance IoT service functionalities such as semantic translation and brokering which would be linked to Korea IoT Cluster and enhance its IoT services.

KIS (K-ICT IoT Service): K-ICT IoT Service consists of 7 services including culture and tourism, sports, smart home, smart grid and security, medical care, message delivery between cars and connected smart factory. Smart grid service supports analysis of security threat related to energy management system, electric vehicle charging system, energy storage system, etc. Smart Car-Talk service is to demonstrate vehicle management and driving convenience service and also to establish infrastructure for security and effectiveness of secure environment about vehicle business. Medical care service for patients suffering from intensive disease is to provide a personalized medical treatment which is based on big medical data analysis. Wise-IoT will bring new convergence service to K-ICT IoT service and help in flourishing IoT ecosystem.

KIoT (Korea IoT Association): Korea IoT Association is to promote various IoT projects to stimulate industries such as technology development, service diffusion, information security and manpower training etc. There are about 600 experts from 130 domestic and foreign companies and about 200 experts from laboratories and universities, etc. participating in KIoT. KIoT supports developing devices and services by domestic/foreign enterprises, laboratories and universities, helps exchanging information through IoT based international exhibition and conference and promotes standardization. Wise-IoT will utilize Korea IoT Association for expanding IoT services and delivering its expertise and cooperating with Korea IoT industry.

In the field of standardisation, the partners from both the European and Korean consortiums are strongly involved, even having leading roles in a number or committees:

AIOTIWG3: AIOTI WG3 has developed a High Level Architecture (HLA) for IoT that takes into account existing SDOs and alliances architecture specifications. The HLA takes into account the interaction with external (non-IoT) systems such as open data, banking systems, analytics, etc by means of the E-2 interface, which is based on the concept of Context Information and the suggested implementation standard is FIWARE NGSI9/10. CEA, NEC and TID have been strong contributors to the AIOTI WG3 especially on aspects related to semantic and context information management.

oneM2M: The oneM2M Global Initiative is an international partnership project, established in order to cooperate in the production of globally applicable, access-independent IoT/M2M service layer specifications related to IoT/M2M solutions. Their member companies, currently around 270, actively contribute to oneM2M. In addition, various alliances and industry fora such as the Open Mobile Alliance, Broadband Forum, Continua Health Alliance, and the Home Gateway Initiative have recently become oneM2M partners. EGM, NEC, SJU and KETI are oneM2M members. SJU is leading the test working group

4. Standardisation Plan

27

whereas NEC is a strong contributor to the semantic working group. KETI provides an open-source implementation of the oneM2M platform.

W3C: The Web of Things Interest Group at W3C has been launched in January. The group provides a forum for technical discussions to identify use cases and requirements for open markets of applications and services based upon the role of Web technologies for a combination of the IoT with the Web of data. The group will strongly collaborate for building a Web of Things framework API and protocols through liaisons with external groups like IETF, oneM2M, ITU-T, ETSI, etc. NEC, KETI and SJU are deeply involved in providing semantic features to IoT platforms. NEC is playing a coordination role between W3C and oneM2M to progress semantic interoperability feature in oneM2M.

ITU-T: ITU-T has established a new Study Group to address the standardization requirements of IoT technologies, with an initial focus on smart cities. The group is responsible for international standards to enable the coordinated development of IoT technologies, including machine-to-machine communications and ubiquitous sensor networks. The group will develop standards that leverage IoT technologies to address urban-development challenges. LJMU will play a significant role in the development of Recommendations for IoT services and interworking as a Rapporteur of Question 4 (IoT applications and services including end user networks and interworking).

ETSI smartM2M: ETSI smartM2M, formerly ETSI M2M, is, after the creation of the oneM2M partnership project, focussing on M2M aspects with a European focus. Recently it published the official specification of the SAREF ontology (Smart Appliance Reference Ontology) that was created by TNO for the European Commission. NEC supported this with its expertise on ontologies and oneM2M.

FIWARE ISG: ETSI Industry Specification Groups (ISG) operate alongside our traditional standards-making committees in a specific technology area. They are designed to be quick and easy to set up, providing an effective alternative to the creation of industry fora. TID, NEC, EGM and Orange recently launched a request for the creation of a FIWARE ISG that builds upon FIWARE NGSI specification and consider needs from the Open and Agile Smart Cities (OASC) Alliance. This ISG is expected to start in Q1-2016.

Industrial Internet Consortium: The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is the open membership, international not-for-profit consortium that is setting the architectural framework and direction for the Industrial Internet. Founded in March 2014, the consortium is now composed of world leading industrial actors. A dedicated Working Group on testbeds provides the members with systematic yet flexible guidance for new testbed proposals. CEA is member of IIC and will play the role of interface with the Wise-IoT. CEA will promote the project’s achievements within the IIC consortium and explore the opportunities of replicability of the Wise-IoT testbeds within the IIC.

OSGi: The OSGi Alliance is a worldwide consortium advancing a proven and mature process to create open specifications that enable dynamic end-to-end connectivity and facilitate the componentization of software and applications. OSGi inherently responds to many requirements of the IoT and is being increasingly used in IoT platforms, from gateway to the cloud level. OSGi is creating a new expert group on IoT, where IoT device abstractions, interaction methods will be standardized. CEA has launched a membership process with the OSGi and will be the main contact point with the alliance. Wise-IoT will provide the opportunity to test reference implementations of the new specifications.

GS1: GS1 (Global Standard 1, http://gs1.org) is an international organization to develop and maintain standards for global supply and demand chains such as barcodes and RFID. GS1 standards can provide a global visibility of goods, products or things so that trading partners can transact effectively. KAIST, as one of the 6-member research institutions, is participating in both research partnerships with other Auto-ID Labs and GS1 member organizations, and the international standardization process. KAIST is also involved with open source project called Oliot (Open Language for Internet of Things, http://oliot.org) to develop implementations of GS1 standards.

LoRa Alliance: LoRaWAN™ is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) specification intended for wireless battery operated Things in regional, national or global network. The LoRa Alliance is an open, non-profit association of members that believes the internet of things era is now. The Alliance members collaborate to drive the global success of the LoRa protocol (LoRaWAN), by sharing knowledge and experience to guarantee interoperability between operators in one open global standard. EGM has deployed a LoRa network in Sophia-Antipolis. SKT is member of the LoRa Alliance and is also deploying LoRa base stations in Busan smart city and planning to collaborate with EGM and other EU members to realise LoRa roaming within WISE-IoT.

28

Continua: Continua is an international non-profit industry group and the leading organization convening global technology industry standards to develop end-to-end, plug-and-play connectivity for personal connected health. Continua’s guidelines for smart healthcare devices currently represent 13 international standards bodies and have been approved as the global standard for personal connected health devices and systems within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). KNU is deploying Continua healthcare devices in the Daegu testbed, and has a plan to support interworking with other platforms within WISE-IoT.

GSMA: The GSMA Connected Living programme is an initiative to help operators add value and accelerate the delivery of new connected devices and services in the M2M market. This is to be achieved by industry collaboration, appropriate regulation, optimising networks as well as developing key enablers to support the growth of M2M in the inmediate future and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the longer term. In March 2015, the Korean operator KT and TID announced the "IDE project" within the GSMA Connected Living programme, a partnership to consolidate FIWARE as the point of reference when it comes to defining an architecture and a set of APIs to facilitate the development of interoperable applications that connect to the Internet of Things.

AllSeen Alliance: The AllSeen Alliance is a cross-industry consortium dedicated to enabling the interoperability of billions of devices, services and applications that comprise the IoT involving leaders in home appliances and computing, AllSeen Alliance promote the development of AllJoyn which is a collaborative open-source project, providing manufacturers and developers the tools that they need to invent new ways for smart things to work together. KETI is developing interworking technologies between oneM2M and AllJoyn. KETI has already shown a feasibility of interworking for AllJoyn and plan to provide advanced interworking feature within WISE-IoT.

OIC: The Samsung driven Open Interconnect Consortium is an industry oriented IoT standards and open source project which delivers interoperability across multiple vertical markets such as consumer, enterprise, industrial, automotive, health, etc. OIC accommodates common communication protocols for discovery and connectivity across multiple peer-to-peer transports and provides common serve-level protocols, object models and developer APIs. SKT, KETI, Axstone have already demonstrated a technology enabling devices with two different IoT standards, i.e., oneM2M and OIC at CES 2016 (http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20160107001092) (Also see section §8.5). KAIST is a leading member of OIC.

IEEE P2413: IEEE P2413 is a standards group defining an architectural framework for the IoT including descriptions of various IoT domains, definitions of IoT domain abstractions, and identification of commonalities between different IoT domains. The architectural framework from this group intends to provide a reference model that defines relationships among various IoT verticals and common architectural elements. oneM2M and IEEE P2413 have created a task force to collaborate each other aiming at realizing oneM2M architecture as a service layer of IEEE P2413 IoT architectural framework. SJU is leading this task force. As WISE-IoT plans to cover a whole IoT relevant layers from network connectivity to Application layer, it will provide a chance to show feasibility of IoT architecture reference model.

4.2.2 Role of the partners in standardisation

TID will contribute to the GSMA Connected Living IDE project (together with KT) and will lead the

contributions to the Context Information ISG within ETSI.

4.2.2.3 NEC

4. Standardisation Plan

29

NEC will promote the outcome of the WISE-IoT project to the oneM2M standardisation, FIWARE, and

the upcoming ETSI ISG on Context Management.

4.2.2.4 CEA

CEA will promote the project results in the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), which has various liaisons

with other standardisation bodies. CEA will also promote the project achievements in the OSGi IoT

expert group, once its membership to the alliance is finalised. CEA is also an active member of the

European AIOTI Alliance’s Working Group on IoT standardisation. Continuous interaction with that

group will be ensured.

4.2.2.5 EGM, SJU

EGM and SJU will support the organisation of the interoperability events. EGM will be a founding

member of the ISG on context information management.

4.2.2.6 SJU, KETI

SJU together with KETI will contribute to standardisation for interoperability and security aspects to

various standardisation for a (e.g., oneM2M and IEEE SA), thanks to the substantial presence and

influence of its members.

4.2.2.7 KAIST

KAIST will contribute to promoting the outcome of the WISE-IoT project within the GS1 organization.

Also, KAIST will contribute to the standardization for GS1 related outcomes from the WISE-IoT project.

4.2.2.8 SKT

SKT will contribute to LoRa alliance for roaming algorithms.

4.2.2.9 SKT, KNU

Testbed owners (SKT, KNU) will support standards activities via standards leading members in WISE-IoT.

4.3 Interoperability events

Interoperability is a key challenge in the realms of IoT because the characteristics of IoT environment

are high-dimensional, highly heterogeneous, dynamic and non-linear and hard to model. In order to

tackle interoperability issues, oneM2M has been developing a set of specifications that covers different

testing aspects mainly for interoperability and conformance for core functionalities of the oneM2M

service layer platform. In oneM2M, the interoperability specifications describe a set of test case

scenarios, which confirm that a testing product will work with other similar products while the

conformance specifications handle test cases for confirming that a testing product strictly follows

features specified in the oneM2M core protocol specifications.

As WISE-IoT plans to integrate various IoT global standards and provides their interworking in different

aspects, the project will provide proper interoperability and conformance testing features. Especially

WISE-IoT interoperability tests will be expanded to cover: i) different protocols interworking, ii)

heterogeneous data formats, iii) end-to-end security spanning around multiple standards interworking.

In addition, WISE-IoT conformance testing will focus not only on the conformity of core functionalities

of globally integrated IoT platforms but also on standard compliance of various standardized data

models. WISE-IoT will also develop a tool to validate and test structured and semantic data in the IoT

platforms.

For Interoperability and conformance testing, a minimum of 3 interoperability events will be organized.

The following shows the upcoming event related to oneM2M interoperability and conformance testing

OneM2M Interop 3 (Kobe, Japan, 29 November - 2 December 2016): The purpose of this event is to verify

the primitive’s interoperability as defined in the oneM2M standards and to check end-to-end functionality

on oneM2M interfaces Mca and Mcc. The implementations need to support at least one of the oneM2M

protocol bindings (HTTP, CoAP or MQTT).

5 Main innovations and expected Impacts

5.1 Main innovations of the project

Through the exploitation, dissemination and standardisation activities, Wise-IoT endeavours to provide

a real-life global IoT infrastructure that will be used to provide a new type of IoT services called Global

IoT Services (GIoTS). GIoTS will be based on a global infrastructure that makes various context and IoT

infrastructure semantic interoperable and searchable. Today, many of the IoT infrastructures have a

high technology readiness level on their own, ranging from TRL 7 (System prototype demonstration in

an operational environment) to TRL 9 (Actual system proven through successful mission operations).

However, several of the needed components for true GIoTS are at a less mature stage. For example,

semantic interoperability modules are at the level of TRL 3 with the first modules being successfully

demonstrated at trade fairs. Other modules such as semantic search/discovery or semantic mashups

are still in the specification and lab demonstration phase (TRL 2-3). During the course of the project,

WISE-IoT will advance the complete interoperability infrastructure (e.g. the morphing mediation

gateways) at least to TRL 6 with some elements (especially for oneM2M-FIWARE interoperability) up to

TRL 7. This schedule is necessary as some of the ambitious use cases should be demonstrated during

real events like the Winter Olympics. Certain highly-desired components like crowd detection and

recommendation engines will leave the lab stage and move to wider deployments.

5.2 Expected impacts

The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a new era to expand our lives through a convergence technology

of putting together sensing, networking, computing and services. In these environments, the data

generated from smart devices create new information and knowledge to enable convenience,

intelligence, efficiency and productivity enhancing the quality of life. When looking into the IoT

ecosystem, it is fairly complex and made up of heterogeneous devices and fragmented platforms and

resources, which makes it difficult to create more value-progressive applications as well as it hinders

integrated convergence of services capable of fusing the vertical IoT domains, where it does not depend

upon one specific platform and infrastructure. Due to the complex and diverse nature of IoT

technologies only one solution may not be possible; and interworking and integration are therefore

required. Based on this background, WISE-IoT will develop a high-level interoperability architecture

which embraces comprehensive technologies from IoT edge computing (incl morphing mediating

gateways) to data centric cloud infrastructure, thus overcoming the fragmentation of platform and

infrastructure. This will enable one of the major contributions of WISE-IoT, the establishment of a new

business model for so-called Global IoT Services (GIoTS) enabling global economies to provide smart

services to any place in the world. On the basis of WISE-IoT’s features and capabilities, following goals

and strategically important impacts are envisaged:

Create a conducive IoT industry ecosystem: WISE-IoT will have an approach to adopt existing IoT platforms which include FIWARE, oneM2M, industry driven IoT standard platforms (AllJoyn, OIC, GS1) but also have existing IoT demonstration clusters such as SmartSantander, Busan Smart city, Daegu health care and Dongdaemun design plaza. This approach makes it possible to leverage already developed IoT platform technologies e.g. connectivity, discovery, common service functionality and provides an advance feature which incorporates semantic interworking and interoperability supported infrastructures so as to prosper valuable IoT ecosystem on a global scale. This impact will be achieved with several measurements: (a) demonstration and verification of the WISE-IoT vision as part of the project, (b) realizing challenging pilots and showcasing them at events attracting high interest (e.g. the Olympic Winter Games), (c) including the Wise-IoT results into

standardization, (d) impacting open source communities like those for FIWARE and oneM2M, and (e) impacting ongoing product development.

Evolving Ecosystems of Mediation Component: Enabling the re-use of mediation knowledge, functions, and processes between different morphing mediating gateways will accelerate the interworking of different IoT systems tremendously. The pragmatic and incremental enhancement of the interworking is a much more practical and feasible way than a top-down developed interworking architecture that needs to cover many different systems. Furthermore, different patterns for realizing interworking IoT systems can be realized. In some scenarios, all data will be mediated towards a central IoT system. In other scenarios, we will have bilateral mediation between systems driven by the needs of the target applications. Impact will be achieved by (a) providing the re-useable knowledge, functions and processes from publicly accessible repositories, (b) novel ways of enabling interworking using morphing mediation gateways, and (c) the continuous effort of participating developers in enabling new interworking capabilities.

Development of a Knowledge-driven IoT: Knowledge captured in ontologies will drive and automate the interworking process. That knowledge will be stored and retrieved from the global IoT thus accelerating the interworking by eliminating laborious human work. This approach has the potential to be re-used in many areas, from (automated) optimization of systems to automated detection of errors. Through the automated processing of knowledge related IoT systems can be made more robust and secure through automated reactions to problems and attacks. Impact will be achieved here by: (a) showcasing the successes of such knowledge-driven IoT, (b) publishing knowledge and related functions as open source, and (c) publishing results of automated adaptation in relevant events.

Strengthen technopreneur capabilities in the application and services: WISE-IoT will create an environment encouraging SMEs and small scale-enterprises to enter the IoT industry by enabling access to a unified platform where interoperability among heterogeneous data in smart cities will be provided. Thus, various companies will create new types of business and break the barriers between information producers and information consumers. As anticipated, IoT development progresses with rapid speed and we will have 16 billion connected devices by the year 2020. This will generate a lot of opportunities for being capable of creating novel services and applications. WISE-IoT will bring acceleration of these circumstances through a fast integration and interoperability between heterogeneous IoT platforms. Impact will be achieved through (a) the already described open publishing (re-use of knowledge and functional components), (b) the easy to use configuration and management features, (c) the automated establishment of trust (d) interaction with developer communities for the various IoT systems,, and (e) the recommendation for using advanced WISE-IoT features.
