Special Session on Massive IoT Data: Impact on Security, Privacy and Urban Dynamics in Smart Cities

With the continuous deployment of IoT vast amounts of data are being recorded that can to be analysed in order to reveal interesting relationships, detect events and uncover so far unforeseen and unknown patterns. The complexity of this data, for example due to its realtime nature and heterogenity is expected to surpass much of today’s scientifc knowhow and will require a multi-disciplinary approach in generating methods, tools and algorithms to exploit its potential in terms of value such as generating novel business models impacting entire industry sectors. The field of data analytics, especially Big Data provides a starting point for much of the tools and algorithms. 

IoT scenarios are intended to manage particularly sensitive data and any information leakage could seriously compromise users’ privacy. Therefore security and privacy are going to be key factors for the deployment of new applications, since IoT stakeholders will only accept these deployments if these are based on secure, trustworthy and privacy-preserving infrastructures. Unlike the current Internet, IoT ecosystems are expected to be composed by a potentially huge amount of heterogeneous smart objects which can be remotely monitored and accessed anytime, anywhere. In addition, IoT communication patterns are often based on short and volatile associations between entities without a previously established trust link.

Special Session on IoT and Mobile Edge Computing

The current activities in Internet of Things (IoT) are focused on architectures & protocols for efficient interconnection of heterogeneous things, infrastructure deployment and creation of value-added services. On the other hand, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a novel paradigm that extends cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. Due to dense geographical distribution, proximity to end-users, support for high mobility and open platform, MEC can support applications and services with reduced latency and improved QoS. Thus MEC is becoming an important enabler of consumer centric IoT applications and services that demand real-time operations. Standard development organizations (e.g. ETSI) have also recognized the benefits IoT & MEC can bring to the consumers. Potential applications for MEC enabled IoT include smart mobility, emergency response, smart cities and environmental monitoring. This special session solicits research and industry papers and provides an international forum for researchers, industrial experts and other stakeholders to address several challenges. This session is proposed and organized by IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Future Directions Committee on IoT.

Special Session on Military Applications of IoT
 
Modern military operations are conducted in a complex, multidimensional, highly dynamic and disruptive environment usually with unanticipated partners and irregular adversaries. In today’s scenarios military commanders operate under the strong pressure of time. The time to obtain an accurate assessment of the situation and to assess potential courses of action and to make decision by commanders is becoming shorter and shorter. It needs to draw upon all possible sources to ensure that the most complete and relevant picture can be created of the situation almost in real-time mode, and the implications of different decisions understood.

The response to these challenges is to introduce the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) into the military domain. The Internet of Things is extensively developed world-wide with a focus on civilian applications. IoT is a paradigm that considers pervasive presence in the environment of a variety of smart things/objects. By means of wireless and wired connections and unique addressing schemes they are able to interact and cooperate with each other to create new applications/services in order to reach common goals. Objects/things make themselves recognizable and can obtain intelligence by making context related decisions thanks to the fact that things can share information that has been aggregated by other objects. Furthermore, they can be components of complex services. However, the integration of heterogeneous sensors and systems diverse in technology, environmental constraints and level of fidelity is a challenging issue not only for the military organizations.

Modern military equipment is expected to be increasingly armed with processing and communication abilities, which can be employed to inspect or modify the status of the equipment. To some extent, these pieces of equipment could be regarded as sensors or actuators and integrated into the rest of the military information infrastructure. Physical and virtual military things have identities, physical attributes and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces, and should be seamlessly integrated into the military information network. In order to accomplish full integration, the relevant security mechanisms, protocol adaptions and scalability properties must be provided. The possible outcome of this integration is a wider set of sensor information for use in situation awareness applications, medical information applications, transport and logistics applications, etc. In military environment, IoT has the potential to connect all kinds of forces and weapon platforms in the whole battlefield to form one information network, which will promote information real-time sharing, shorten the decision-making and command time, and increase joint operation efficiency. Potential areas of military application of the IoT include:

(1)    Logistics - command and control of combined operations logistics support;
(2)   Situational Awareness – building on the tactical level of a battlefield (from global, to company, platoon and squad commanders down to single soldiers level) including monitoring, sensing, threat identification (e.g. sniper), target positioning, marking, vehicles and soldiers status monitoring, environmental monitoring (environment conditions);
(3)    Medical Care - battlefield health monitoring, patients monitoring, etc.

Special Session on Dependable IoTs for eHealth and Management of Chronic Conditions

Public health systems in most developed countries face unprecedented financial pressures. Ageing populations and spiralling costs of chronic conditions (Diabetes, COPD, Alzheimer's, Dementias, Cancer, Arthritis Asthma etc.) approach 70% of health budgets in some countries (e.g. UK). It is clear that a completely different approach to the delivery of health services is needed to maintain financial sustainability. The costs are a direct consequence of the health provision responsibility arrangements i.e. the responsibility is completely subsumed by the health system and medical professionals. A radical and somewhat controversial solution to this problem is to shift most of the responsibility towards the patients themselves with the aid of novel technology. Such arrangement can only work if the technology can be proven to be dependable. Dependability is a complex notion and is in itself a combination of a range of non-functional attributes, such as reliability, robustness, safety and security. Dependable IoT solutions will be the main ingredient in this new landscape that is perhaps the only hope to deliver financially sound and universally acceptable health services.

Deploying IoT in Manufacturing and Supply-chains: Challenges and Expectations


Abstract
Manufacturing industries are in the process of leveraging a new technology landscape that includes IoT, mobile and Cloud computing, in order to address their global challenges. Changing markets require agile re-configuration of capacities and partnering. The digitization of manufacturing leads to more reliance on collaborative ecosystems and platforms. Better market intelligence calls for customized, evolving products. Productivity and cost-efficiency require better use of resources, planning and better predictability throughout the manufacturing process. Countries around the world perceive the urgency and promote public-private partnerships to stimulate manufacturing innovation. Initiatives such as Industrie 4.0. in Germany, Centres for Innovative Manufacturing in UK, the Manufacturing Innovation Committee in Korea, NIST Smart manufacturing in US, and global forums such as SMLC and the Industrial Internet Consortium are gathering the actors needed for a smarter manufacturing.

In this context, the panel will focus on IoT and how its technologies will impact the conventional aspects of manufacturing, from product design to distribution including supply-chains, product lifecycle management. It will also assess promising innovation areas such as predictive maintenance, asset management and tracking, product customization, modeling and simulation.

SDN & IoT

 


Session Objective 
All IP and Data explosion drive the technology innovation moving forward. SDN and NFV address the data explosion challenge whereas IOT (Internet of Things) needs IPv6. If SDN and NFV are implemented with IPV6 it paves the path for the future.

Capex/Opex, scalability and security are the factors for SDN and NFV adoption. A new data explosion area is IoT and that will tie into IPv6 sooner than later. Security is more integrated into IPv6 compared to IPv4. Deploying a new technology should be long term and IPv6 addresses that requirement.

Vendor unlock is a driver for SDN and NFV and data center's will deploy multi-vendor platforms and in this scenario, interoperability and interacting with Open source in platforms becomes essential. IPv6 will definitely play a part in the mix and a targeted solution for Data center better design that as 'now' in mind than 'new’.

Most of the surveys indicate that security concerns are the biggest challenge in Operator’s minds. It is a given that IPv6 is built in with security. So a nextgen solution should better start with IPv6 rather than as an afterthought.

An aspect of SDN and NFV implementation is programmable networks. Operators need to work more with APIs compared to legacy days. Programming paradigm shifts radically within IPv6. When you deploy a new network, the idea is not to patch it every now and then. Long term and next gen is IPv6 here.

While IPv6 adoption is quietly picking up steam, in the Cloud world, we can clearly see OpenStack gaining more and QOS and Performance management are tied to programmability in scaling and SDN and NFV address it. Operational complexity will be slightly more and new policies (ex. SUPA) will emerge. IPv6 capabilities will be inherent to some of these policies.

Towards fully IoT connected Cities: Challenges and Trends



                     
Session Objective 
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population - over 6 billion people - is expected to live in cities and surrounding regions[1]. Cities will need to be smart, if only to survive as platforms that enable economic, social and environmental well-being. A Smart City, according to Forrester, is one that “uses information and communications technologies to make the critical infrastructure components and services of a city — administration, education, healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation and utilities — more aware, interactive and efficient”. In a recent speech, the Vice-President of the European Commission (EC), Neelie Kroes, reaffirmed the importance of transforming our cities into Smart Cities, in order to ensure a sustainable future for our societies [2].

For the realisation of Smart Cities, ICT plays a definitive role, and as such the EC is making massive investments in related research activities under various funding schemes with different horizons[3]. Among these activities, the Internet of Things (IoT) counts as one of the most promising trends. The IoT represents a radical evolution of the current Internet into a Network of Interconnected Objects that not only harvest information from the environment (sensing) and interacts with the physical world (actuation/command/control), but also leverage existing Internet standards to provide services for information collection, storage, analytics, dissemination and exploitation. IoT technologies enhance the situational awareness or “smartness” of service providers and consumers alike. For service providers, this “smartness” means improved planning and decision making for better and more efficient services in multiple domains, ranging from public safety, transport, utilities, healthcare, education to recreation. For consumers, this “smartness” means higher quality of life. This panel aims at analysing the actual situation of the Smart Cities deployment, the impact of the usage of IoT in these environments and what the massive deployment of sensors and smart object will bring to the development of new services, citizen interactions and analysis of the city behaviour. The panel will presents first 2 keynote covering topics about actual Smart cities experience and technologies aspects and then will follow with some discussion about trends and innovation opportunities on the topic.

This Industrial Forum is done in collaboration of the IoT Forum www.iotforum.org

IoT Standardisation


                     
Session Objective 
IoT Standardisation has been addressed in all SDOs (ETSI, IETF, NIST) and industry associations. ETSI has been leading this fundamental work with M2M, oneM2M, 3GPP with MTC and recently with IP6 ISG: https://portal.etsi.org/home.aspx

However, there is still a great number of non-IP IoT protocols designed for the various industry sectors and the move to IP is non-evident if not perceived as a threat.

Furthermore, there is a growing confusion in the market and among researchers that IoT is not simply an evolution of the Internet but should be defined differently.

This session will run through the maze of IoT standards in the Telecom and ISP world as well different industry standards presenting the challenges and solutions such as IPv6-based Internet Protocols being considered in the context of several deployment scenarios or pre-standardization around the world.

The Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics

IoT: The term “Internet of Things” (IoT), coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999, refers to billions of “things” connected to the Internet. It promises to be the most disruptive technological revolution since the advent of the Internet. Projections indicate that up to 100 billion objects will be connected to the Internet by 2020. Billions of “things” such as Sensors, RFID Tags, Mobility devices, Smart Phones, and Wearable devices are generating mountains of data on all aspects of the human life: Health, Environment, Transportations, Security, Shopping, Smart Cities, Smart Grids, Smart Homes, Smart Cars, Biology, Medicine, etc.

Big Data: The New York Times: The Age of Big Data
“It’s a revolution,” says Gary King, director of Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science. “We’re really just getting under way. But the march of quantification, made possible by enormous new sources of data, will sweep through academia, business and government. There is no area that is going to be untouched.”(The New York Times, February 11, 2012)

The term “Big Data”, coined by Roger Magulas in 2005, refers to data sets whose Volume, Velocity, and Variety are so extreme that the current generations of data tools are becoming increasingly inadequate for their collection, management and analysis, in a reasonable amount of time.
The Big Data of the future will be generated by Internet of Things (IoT) i.e., billions of “things” connected to the Internet. The IoT, thus, leads to even Bigger Data. Additionally, the IoT Data is different from the traditional “Static Data”. It is “Data in Flight”, “Data in Motion”, also called “Streaming Data” i.e., data arrive in streams continuously and so rapidly that it is not feasible or useful to store it in a conventional database and then analyze it at the time of our choosing, if it is not processed immediately, then it is lost forever. The Nature of Data Management and Data Analytics have changed.

IoT & Big Data
Poised together, the biggest challenge of the current IoT and Big Data Era is: Management and Mining of ever-increasing Streams of data generated by IoT. “Without stream processing, there’s no Big Data and no Internet of Things”, writes Dana Sandu. “Analytics Are a Key Part of Value Creation in IoT”, says Pankaj Patel, EVP of Cisco.

This panel organized by the IEEE Big Data Initiative (bigdata.ieee.org) focuses on IoT & Big Data related challenges including: IoT Infrastructure, Business Applications of Big Data, Biomedical Big Data Analytics, Big Data & Smart Cities, and emerging areas of Management and Analytics of IoT Big Data Streams. Emphasize will be on an end-to-end Big Data Stream Analytics including: data generation & data acquisition, data communications & networking, data quality & reliability, data security, fog/edge and cloud computing, and stream data analytic technologies. Future business, academia, and industry challenges including research directions, and business opportunities emerging from disruptive technologies of: IoT, M2M, and near real-time large-scale Big Data Streams Analytics will be covered.

Impact of IoT on 5G: Benefits and Challenges

                     
Session Objective
As Internet usages are proliferating, communications networks are faced with new shortcomings. Future networks will have to support in 2020 mobile traffic volumes 1000 times larger than today and a spectrum crunch is anticipated. Wireless access rates are today significantly lower than those of fixed access, which prevents the emergence of ubiquitous low cost integrated access continuum with context independent operational characteristics. Communication networks energy consumption is growing rapidly, especially in the radio part of mobile networks. The proliferation of connected devices makes it very difficult to maintain similar performance characteristics over an ever larger portfolio of technologies and requirements (i.e.Ultra High Definition TV vs. M2M, IoT). Heterogeneity of access technologies entails unsustainable cost with increasing difficulties to integrate an ever larger set of resources with reduced OPEX. Network infrastructure openness is still limited. It prevents the emergence of integrated OTT (cloud)-network integration with predictable end to end performance characteristics, and limits the possibility for networks to become programmable infrastructures for innovation with functionalities exposed to developers' communities.
These key issues for the competitiveness of the communication industry world-wide are and will be globally researched in the context of future 5G integrated, ubiquitous and ultra-high capacity networks.
This session will be devoted to analyze the transformative impact of IPv6 on IoT on 5G and its advanced features, presenting the challenges and solutions being considered in the context of several deployment scenarios or pre-standardization around the world.

 IoT Security & Privacy

 
                     
Session Objective
IoT will allow people and objects in the physical world as well as data and virtual environments to interact with each other so as to create smart environments such as smart transport systems, smart cities, smart health, smart energy, etc., as part of a prosperous digital society. IoT is likely to improve the quality of people’s lives, create new markets and new jobs, increase economic growth and be an impetus for competition.

However, IoT raises important questions and introduces new challenges for the security of systems and processes and the privacy of individuals. Some IoT applications are tightly linked to sensitive infrastructures and strategic services such as the distribution of water and electricity and the surveillance of assets. Other applications handle sensitive information about people, such as their location and movements, or their health and purchasing preferences. Confidence in and acceptance of IoT will depend on the protection it provides to people’s privacy and the levels of security it guarantees to systems and processes.

IoT will enable objects to become active participants: these objects will be able to recognize events and changes in their environment and to sense and react autonomously without human intervention. Introducing objects into the control processes makes IoT security very difficult to address. Indeed, the Internet of Things is a complex system in which people interact with the technological ecosystem based on smart objects through complex processes. The interactions of these four IoT components: persons, intelligent objects, technological ecosystem, and processes highlight a systemic and cognitive dimension to the security of IoT. The interaction of people with the technological ecosystem requires the protection of their privacy. Similarly, their interaction with control processes requires to guaranteeing their safety. Processes must ensure their reliability and realize the objectives for which they are designed.

The move towards a greater autonomy for objects will bring the security of technologies and processes and the privacy of individuals into sharper focus. Furthermore, in parallel with the increasing autonomy of objects to perceive and act on the environment, IoT security should move towards a greater autonomy in perceiving threats and reacting to attacks.

This industry forum session aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on Internet of Things Security and Privacy: design methods of secure IoT applications and architectures, security attacks detection, prevention and counter measures. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline.

 CPS and IoT in Manufacturing: the two sides of the same coin?

Session Objective
The manufacturing sector is moving to a new phase characterized by the increased intelligence and communication capabilities of machineries, devices, products, and the raising role of commodities devices and Internet standards in manufacturing. This new phase is being called differently: Industrie 4.0 in Germany (to highlight the wide deployment of IoT and services will usher a 4th industrial revolution, following the ones related to the mechanization, electricity based machineries, and the deployment of IT in manufacturing), or Industrial Internet (a term actually coined by by Frost & Sullivan in 2000) by the Industrial Internet Consortium, or Industrial IoT.

All actors recognize anyway the enormous innovation potential of IoT that, if fully adopted in all activities performed by manufacturing industries, could still assure to the manufacturing sector its driving role in most Countries, opening new frontiers for productivity, inefficiency and waste reduction, and human work enhancement.

IoT in manufacturing will not only constitute an opportunity for manufacturing industries, but also for IoT-related solution providers as indicated in the EC study “SMART number 2013/0037: Definition of a Research and Innovation Policy Leveraging Cloud Computing and IoT Combination” (carried out for the EC by IDC Italia and TXT e-Solutions). This study highlights as Smart Manufacturing is envisaged as the largest potential opportunity in terms of IoT spending, followed by Smart Homes and Smart Health.

There is still a huge debate about the specificities of IoT in the manufacturing domain that reflects on the usage of different terms (like smart systems, Industrial IoT devices, CPS-Cyber-physical System), and the definition of slightly different architectures or reference architectures.
Indeed, currently there are parallel activities on defining architectures or reference architectures, some specifically addressing manufacturing related issues like:
  • the German Industrie 4.0 strategic initiative with its RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0) specification
  • the Industrial Internet Consortium with its IIRA (Industrial Internet Reference Architecture)specificationothers addressing a wider set of application domains like:
  • the US NIST with its Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems
  • the IEEE within its P2413 Standard for an Architectural Framework activity
  • the EU AIOTI (Alliance For Internet Of Things Innovation) WG3 with its High Level Architecture HLA (High Level Architecture)All these initiatives have commonalities and distinguishing elements that could affect their knowledge and adoption.
The EU H2020 BEinCPPS (Business Experiments in Cyber Physical Production Systems) and sCorPiuS (European Roadmap for Cyber-Physical Systems in Manufacturing) projects, as EU H2020 projects in the EU Factory of the Future action, have promoted this session to promote a discussion about the above IoT in manufacturing aspects and issues.

This industry forum session aims at providing information about worldwide activities related to IoT in manufacturing, the distinguishing factors of industrial IoT as compared to IoT in other application domains, compare EU and US perspectives, and foster discussion about current approaches and uncovered aspects.
