SOCIOTAL Project Overview

http://sociotal.eu/

Main idea

Motivation‐ First wave of IoT research and IoT deployments is predominantly

enterprise centric‐ Lack of human centric information on the IoT restraints innovation

and business in this domain

Enable a citizen-inclusive and pro-citizen second wave of the IoT‐ Encourage citizen participation in the IoT to boost (societal)

innovation‐ Provide direct benefits to citizens, help addressing true needs of

neighbourhood, communities and society at large‐ Put control into the hand of the citizen on who can access information

3SOCIOTAL Project Overview

Approach

Design and provide key enablers for a reliable, secure and trusted IoT environment by encouraging people to contribute their IoT devices and information flows

Provide a citizen-centric IoT approach towards creation of large-scale IoT solutions of interest to the society in order to exploit billions of new IoT information streams

By equipping communities with secure and trusted tools that increase user confidence in IoT environment, enable their transition to smart neighbourhoods, communities and cities


A governance, trust and reputation framework combining a set of innovative enablers that addresses the challenges of massive crowd-sourced

IoT infrastructure

A privacy-preserving context-sensitive communication framework for IoT devices with adequate security enablers

A detailed understanding of technological and socio-economic barriers for citizen participation in an IoT

An intuitive environment inspired by social media tools that provides increased awareness and controls and empowers citizens to easily manage

access to IoT devices and information, while allowing IoT enabled citizen centric services to be created through open community APIs

Services piloted in two cities demonstrating the value of SOCIOTAL to real word communities

IoT security Framework based on IoT-A ARM*


*http://www.iot-a.eu/arm

Enabling communities - 1

Face-to-face (F2F) interaction detection‐ Proximity detection based

on machine-learning through

Bluetooth RSSI

‐ Relative orientation estimation

based on an improvement of

uDirect*

‐ Collaborative Sensing for

real-time and enhanced

F2F inference

*Patent: Hoseinitabatabaei SA, gluhak A, tafazolli R. Information determination in a portable device.


Enabling communities - 2

11

Enabler for indoor localization based on magnetic field data‐ Off-line generation of building

magnetic profile maps

‐ Mobile phone wearing position and facing direction estimation using uDirect*

‐ On-line localization using mobile phone magnetic field measurements (Radial Basis Functions Networks and Particles Filters)


Enabling users - UserEnv

Intuitive

‐ It should be easy to use. Not too much to install, smooth learning curve, natural UI metaphors where possible

Trustworthy

‐ No unwanted information leaks, enforce privacy policies, flexible about policies depending on context of use

Assistive

‐ Assist in common tasks, (e.g. place an alarm if energy consumption data are suspicious)


“Touch” & compose to be intuitive

13


When Do paradigm

14


Flexible policy (to be trustworthy)

SOCIOTAL app DENIES actions on private things by default

BUT

SOCIOTAL app may ALLOW same action depending on the context (ex. People are in the same room or they have strong relationship according to some social metrics)


Enabling developers – DevEnvFor developers

‐ It should be professional and flexible to use. Based on common IDE metaphors and practice

‐ Content assistance, auto-completion, reflection of the dynamicity of the IoT environment

Trustworthy‐ Able to integrate innovation from the SOCIOTAL security

framework

‐ Build services/applications that only use trustable devices

Completeness (beyond the intuitiveness of UserEnv)‐ Rich expressiveness beyond IFTTT, to specify complex event

action rules

‐ Able to manage conflicts between rules/applications

Engaging with users

Initial technological and socioeconomic barriers identified:

‐ Lack of third party trust providers

‐ Lack of oversight for SME’s in technological landscape and success stories

‐ Lack of rich scenarios

Envisioned counter-measures:

‐ Co-creation workshops

‐ Stakeholders engagement


Involving end-users – Co-creation WS

19

• Purpose:• Uncover end-users needs• Identify positive and

(potentially) negative reception• Build effective device/sensors

interface

• Approach• Pick a card depicting daily-life

situations• Assess positive and negative

aspects• Introduce sensors, define their

role and placement• Design interfaces and way to

interact with sensors (tablets, smartphones, PCs)

*Nathalie Stembert


Co-creation workshops: SAN and UC


Co-creation workshops: NS and Dunavnet


Envisioned pilots

22

Service Pilots for Novi-Sad city:‐ Mood of the city

• Computation of the city’s happiness index (CHI)• CHI Visualization using public display dashboard

‐ Elevator supervisor• Automatic elevator malfunction detection• Data access control and notifications for multiple users (e.g. tenants, company responsible for repair, etc.)

• History track and information about previous repairs, monitoring, etc.

Service Pilots for Santander city‐ Santander Citizen (Weather forecast/Sharing info)

• Users sharing data from their devices within a set of identified consumers (Community)

‐ Santander Dusk (Ubiquity)• Discovering users/devices and set of defined data (observations)

‐ Enabling Santander (Route Calculation)• Adapted routes from one point to another in the city, based on events uploaded by users

Pilots in Taipei (new partner)‐ Smart retail

• Improving user experience by sharing preferences in a privacy-preserving manner• Commercial District in Taiwan


Engaging with Stakeholders – Meetups
