1 - F-Interop Open Call Webinar

Boosting IoT InteroperabilityF-Interop open call webinar

Michele Nati, Lead Technologist Personal Data and TrustDigital Catapult, London@michelenati [email protected]


The ChallengesThe Challenges

● Interoperability requires tests, validation and certification Conformance

■ Test against reference implementations

Interoperability■ Test against other vendor implementations

Performance■ How protocols can be improved and scale?


The BarriersThe Barriers

● SMEs are driven by time-to-market● Standards are driven by large organizations

If not open, membership might be otherwise expensive

● Tests require physical meetings and complex logistics Plugfest Managing confidentiality of information

● Certification process might be long and costly


F-Interop ProjectF-Interop Project

● EU H2020 F-Interop project is researching and developing online remote interoperability and performance test tools for emerging IoT-related technologies

● It aims to: Support researchers communities, SMEs Integrating and extending several European testbeds Researching and developing online testing tools for IoT Developing online certification and labelling

mechanisms


The Testing Life CycleThe Testing Life Cycle

● Test Description (TD) Describe the test scenario, any language

● Test Script (TS) Set of actions to implement the scenario Exchange of information between IUTs

(interoperability) and IUT and test system (conformance)

● Test Analysis (TA) Analyze, compare messages, generate verdict (pass

or fail)

““Currently” Federated Testbeds Currently” Federated Testbeds CapabilitiesCapabilities● Fed4FIRE (http://www.fed4fire.eu/testbeds/) federates

24 FIRE+ testbeds, bringing together cloud, IoT, wireless, wireless mobile, LTE, cognitive radio, 5G, openflow, SDN, NFV and network emulation technologies

● OneLab (https://onelab.eu/) federates testbeds for the future Internet, including IoT, cognitive radio, wireless and overlay network technologies

● IoT lab (http://www.iotlab.eu/) federates crowd sourcing and crowd sensing testbeds, including smart campus, smart building and smart office testbed (low end IoT device, sensor platforms)
