Project overview and 1st Open Call summary

symbIoTe

Sergios Soursos, Intracom SA Telecom Solutions

Project Manager



• IoT platforms offer vertical solutions, closed silos– focusing in one domain

• Absence of cross-domain apps– life is multi-dimensional– partnerships sought

• Collocated platforms– multiple installations– increased costs

• Maintenance of e2e solutions– high market entry barrier– will a single standard/technology/protocol prevail?

• End users– vendor lock-in– multiple apps

IoT Landscape & Motivation


• symbiosis of smart objects across IoT environments

• interoperability and mediation framework

• aims at the collaboration of vertical IoT platforms towards the creation of cross-domain applications

The symbIoTe Approach

Smart Residence

EduCampus

Smart Stadium

Smart Mobility and Ecological Routing

Smart Yachting


symbIoTe in a Nutshell

• not yet another IoT platform

• a middleware that offers a unified way for– exposing of IoT resources to third party applications

– sharing IoT resources between federation members

– trusted discovery and secure access to IoT resources

– flexible integration of smart space infrastructure

– does not interfere with the actual data exchange

• addresses the needs of – developers for rapid cross-platform application

development

– small IoT platform providers for optimal collaboration and cooperation on top of the available often fallow resources

– SMEs for overcoming IoT market barriers

• How can platforms monetize the value of their resources? new revenue streams!

• How can 3rd parties use the offered resources?


• IoT solution providers

– SMEs, startups, companies, research institutes

– w/ deployed IoT platforms

– active in Smart Home/Building and Smart Cities

• 3 important questions

– What resources can you open to 3rd parties?

– How 3rd parties can use your resources?

– What value will the 3rd parties make out of your resources?

What are we looking for?


• Decide what resources to open

• Provide information model of resources

• Extend Interworking API

– use generic components, and

– implement platform specific components

• Proof-of-concept showcase

– together with symbIoTe consortium

– advertise own resources

– make them discoverable through Core Services

What will you have to do?


• For symbIoTe

– enrich the portfolio of symbIoTe-enabled platforms

– receive feedback on designed solution

– build the foundations for the 2nd Open Call

• For applicants

– investigate what resources you could open to 3rd

parties

– see what value you can get out of it

– ease the partnerships with other platforms

Objectives


Technical Approach for Level 1 Compliance

symbIoTe

Ivana Podnar Žarko, University of Zagreb

Technical Manager



Level 1 compliance (L1)

• symbIoTe: intermediary between IoT platforms and applications– facilitates cross-platform app development

– syntactic: interoperability at the protocol level

– semantic: interoperability at the data level

• Create cooperative IoT platforms– IoT platforms open up access to their devices (exposed as

services) in a controlled and secure manner

• Enable devices to understand each other– apps need to understand platform offerings/virtualized

devices (to a certain extent) to interact with them

Technical Aspects


• Mobile app as a remote control to switch on/off the lights at home, in the office, in public spaces…

– today we need 3 apps for this, one for each platform

Motivating example (actuation)

To make a platform Level 1 compliant:• Analyze the symbIoTe Core Information Model

(CIM) and symbIoTe components on the platform side

• Align your platform-specific information model with the CIM – Use JSON if CIM is sufficient for your needs

• Integrate the Interworking Interface and four symbIoTe components with your platform– plugins for closed platforms will not be published as

open source

• Provide feedback and comments to improve and simplify the process of creating L1 platforms

How to create a L1 platform?


• A documented design and prototype implementation of the symbIoTe Core Services

• A documented Interworking Interface and Java implementation of the four components on the platform side

• An example procedure for aligning an existing information model to the symbIoTe CIM

• A documented example explaining the process for creating a L1 platform based on the example of the open-source OpenIoT platform
