Roberto Minerva: iot challenges - IoT Tunisia 2016
- 1. IoT challenges Roberto Minerva, IEEE IoT Initiative Chairman - TIMLAB Tunis, INTERNET OF THINGS, A LEVER of ECONOMIC GROWTH– 13th May 2016 iot.ieee.org
- 2. IoT Definition A few features of IoT (that we are stressing out in IEEE IoT Initiative) 2 Smart Objects and Sensors Networks of Things Self-organizing systems The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions a self-configuring and adaptive complex system made out of networks of sensors and smart objects whose purpose is to interconnect “all” things, including every day and industrial objects in such a way to make them intelligent, programmable and more capable of interacting with humans. Intelligence at the edge Massive Data New communication paradigms Servitization Virtual Continuum
- 4. (Some) Technical Challenges • Platform • Security • Signaling and Protocols • Data Management • Cloud • Large System Management (autonomics) • Power Consumption • Connectivity • Programmability • Complexity • Standardization • Virtualization • Smart Objects • Communication Paradigms (cooperation and gossiping) • … Trying to identify the major challenges from a technological perspective
- 5. What things are… The Identity Challenge Generic Info Contextualiz ed Info Passive Objects A Tag, A pointer to some information Info + a location Reactive Objects A switch at home (turn it on/off), A smart meter Home Automation (when temperature reaches 20 C stop heating) Autonomous Objects A Vending Machine, An Intelligent Fridge A Cleaning Robot What Objects are
- 6. IoT requires a Network of Networks Plenty of Communications Technologies for short, medium and long range (e.g., Zigbee, Dash 7, WiFi, LoRa, 4G and 5G) Plenty of Protocols (REST, MQTT, COAP, XMPP, SensorML, …) Edge Computing – Fog Computing – Cloud Computing Plenty of different SW Platforms Apps Sensors / Actuators/ Smart Objects Distributed OS (comprising Local OSes) IoT Platform Services Application Framework Apps Apps Different Frameworks for developing Applications (Samsung, Google, …) Local/Wide/Large Area Networks
- 7. IoT and Data Challenge “OUR”SmartThings Raw data to be transformed into Info Personal Profiling FunctionalP rofiling Who, Where, When, What, Why, … + Events and commands * = Bigger DATA • Who is the Owner of all these Data ? • Who has the right to extract info ? 50 B Devices * (Average Aggregated Traffic of M2M Devices) ~ 2MB/day = ~ 88.81 petabytes /day
- 8. A fast pace technological world dominated by Software Software Platforms Protocol Availability Data Usage and Privacy/Security Processes and management of IoT Reliability / Autonomics
- 9. (Some) Business Issues Value Chain Viable Business Models Prosumers and Users Investments in Infrastructure and management of Sensors
- 10. (Some) Social Issues The Big Brother Syndrome Fairness to Users Easiness of usage Security and Privacy Disappearing Interfaces Providers responsibility Customers’ acceptance
- 11. IoT implies a lot of Challenges • Definition of Things and «Identity of Things» Challenge • Complexity Challenge • Communication Paradigms Challenge • Data Challenge • The Software Platform Challenge • Silos vs. Horizontal Application Domains • The revenue challenge • Per device • Connectivity • Data • The Value Chain Challenge • New Biz Model Challenge • Privacy Challenge • Ownership Challenge • Security Challenge • Easiness of Use Challenge • Social Cooperation Challenge Regulation And technical ones are not necessarily the major ones!
