Internet of Things: A view of the landscape


Internet of Things: Potentials & requirements

● Internet of Things (IoT) era:

Economic impact of the Internet of Things to be $2.7 trillion to $6.2trillion per year by 2025*

25 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2015 and 50 billion by2020**

● The handling of the amount of objects requires suitable architecture

● Requirements that should be satisfied:

Address heterogeneity of objects of the IoT

Increase the reusability of objects, outside the scope in which theywere originally deployed

Increase QoS

Business growth and integration from multiple stakeholders

Cognitive Management Framework for the IoT: Principles

Services • Multiple stakeholders• Service requirements

Composite Virtual Objects(CVO)

• Cognitive mash-up of semantically interoperable VOs

• Business integration• Reusability• QoS

Virtual Objects

(VO)

• Cognitive objects: self-management, self-awareness and learning capabilities.

• Hide the heterogeneity• Increase QoS

Smart City: Scenario

● This scenario refers to how the proposed framework may beexploited to protect and facilitate the daily life in the smartcity.

● An elderly woman, has opted for an assisted living service that isprovided by a medical center

● A doctor, who monitors thewoman’s health remotely fromthe medical center, receives analarm that the woman has fainted

● An ambulance is informed to runfor assistance. A smart drivingapplication is used by theambulance, so as to reach thewoman’s home as fast as possible


Smart City: Platform & Demonstrations

● The emulated smart city includesa smart home that is equippedwith actuators and sensors hostedby Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)Platforms A and B respectively

● The CVO in the medical centeruses the Cosm on-line databaseservice, in order to get the sensormeasurements from WSN PlatformB as well as to send the actuatorcommands to WSN Platform A

● In the smart city, there arevarious types of sensors, which areconnected with the type of WSNPlatform C using various accesstechnologies and/orcommunication protocols sharingtheir data

● Best Demonstration Award at the Future Network andMobile Summit (FuNeMS), Lisbon, 2013.

● Runner-up Demonstration Award at Future Network andMobile Summit (FuNeMS), Berlin, 2012.

● Next Demonstrations: IoT Week, London, 2014. European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC),

Bologna, 2014.


Benefits from the Cognitive Management Framework for the IoT

• Reusability of VOs allows the reduction of CAPEXCAPEX

• Reduced OPEX in terms of time, maintenance, energy consumption via cognition/intelligenceOPEX

• Easy creation and delivery of added-value services from business actors allowing them to increase profits and market share

Service creation &

provisioning

• Development of innovative cross-domain applications due to CVO abstraction

Cross-domain applications

• Decrease on time-to-market by reusing available VOsTime-to-market

• Entry of new business playersBusiness


Conclusions

● Satisfying the need to address the heterogeneity of objects, while guaranteeing theresilience of associated services and their dynamic provisioning

● Cognition is identified as promising solution that enables applications to use themost relevant connected objects in an intelligent and autonomic way

● A smart city scenario, presented how the framework could span horizontally acrossseveral application domains

● Several benefits were identified
