3RD INTER-OSS WORKSHOP

INTEROPERABILITY AND OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS

BILBAO, JUNE 6, 2018

IoT ecosystems

An IoT ecosystem is created by different elements: devices data, an IoT

platform, applications and users.

In the center of this system we have the IoT Platform. The IoT platform

orchestrates this multi-stakeholder interaction that can provide the value

creation.

Devices Data IoT Platform Apps

Connect Collect Analyze Deliver

Limitation of current IoT ecosystems

Heterogeneous network

Multiple value streams that overlap but not

communicate

Most IoT data produced are not currently used

Major players dominating the market, vertical silos

Missing innovation opportunities from smaller player

Interoperability

A horizontal connection of IoT

ecosystems:

IoT platforms, devices, systems

→ services, applicationsNearly 40% of the

total value that can

be unlocked

requires different IoT

systems to work

together and can

reach up to 60%

“

Working together “SHARECONOMY”

Value creation works in 2

ways

Co-creation: cooperativeenvironment

Coopetition: mutual

benefits but competing in

market

The symbIoTe Case

Open Source interoperabilityframework

Brings together IoT platformsvertically isolated for delivering

new services and applications

Unified way to expose and search of IoT resources.

Platforms’ Federation

➢ Decentralised and close collaboration

of IoT Platforms

➢ Choose the partnerships

➢ Develop trusted relationships

➢ Create value by selling, buying &

exchanging IoT data

➢ Create/co-create new products

➢ Scale up across domains & regions

Platform federation benefits

New innovative robust products with more

diverse and dense data

New partnerships, (include smaller IoT

players)

Challenges in Cooperative IoT

Ecosystems

✓ Cost-effective/ ROI

✓ Establish a sustainable and stable ecosytem

✓ Small players want to maintaintheir unique selling points and are not willing to “loose” control over resources

✓ Trusted relationships, qualitydata and secure interactions

Takeaways

Break the silos bringing together

heterogeneous IoT systems for further value

creation and build new partnerships.

Make efficient use of physical spaces,

devices, data and the cloud to accelerate

innovation across sectors and regions.

It is worth changing, not only the way we

exchange resources and data, but also the

way we do business.Catalonia’s Human Tower
