Internet of things (IoT) and edge computing are advancing, allowing the computing to be performed closer to where the data is produced and apply analytics for processing the data. Adding edge processing to resource-constrained IoT devices brings new security issues and requires innovation and optimisation at the hardware, software and connectivity levels. The session gives an overview of the IoT evolutionary concepts, and the presentations focus on the challenges related to leveraging the ...

As data becomes the new oil of the economy and a key asset to address societal challenges like mobility, energy, carbon-neutral cities and manufacturing, the EU must strive for a leading position in the data economy and cannot afford to have the data of its businesses, public sector and citizens stored and exploited from largely outside its borders. A strategy for on World-leading Data and Computing Technology is at the heart of the European policy strategy for

Massive growth of devices and systems connected to the Internet raises technology and policy challenges on a new scale. With an ever more heterogeneous and complex environment of IoT, these connected objects generate large data volumes. This massive data feeds the data economy and opens up new business opportunities. Currently, the majority of IoT revenues are based on cloud-based services as a dominant economic model for IoT business models. Will it be the case in the next decade?T...

Digital technologies are unlocking new business opportunities and with that new business models. For example, we have seenservitization as a key concept changing a large number of industries from product to service driven businesses. This session will explore the next wave of business models enabled by IoT and combining this with edge computing. We will explore results from the H2020 Large Scale Pilot projects one of the largest investments by the EC in this field provide and mature examples ...

The IoT, edge and cloud computing technologies are likely to be global by design. A technology that is developed by focusing only the specific requirements of a regional market may face difficulties to be globally adopted. International collaboration allows researchers to exchange knowledge and combine perspectives to solve challenging problems, often of transversal nature. Nowadays, with a growing number of global challenges such as climate change, infectious diseases, energy and sustaina...

The Next Generation Internet of Things (NGIoT) is an initiative to build a resilient European IoT Hub. It acts as an accelerator for the whole European IoT ecosystem towards transforming the current IoT community of researchers and innovators in Europe into an increasingly cohesive, dynamic, participatory and sustainable ecosystem. It assists stakeholders to engage and create value, as well as set up a self-sustaining European IoT commu...

This session will explore different aspects of edge intelligence for industrial internet of things applications, including AI at the edge, human machine collaboration and cyber-security solutions for edge intelligence.

Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and the digitalization process, is an emerging paradigm that seamlessly integrates a large number of smart objects with the Internet creating a world of connected devices. It adopts novel processing and communication architecture, technologies and management strategies. New systems could leverage wireless sensor network to collect and process data, and could employ cloud technologies, peer to peer systems to provide computation capability, edge/fog solution for...

Digital technologies are both defining the present and the future of agriculture. The extensive deployment of IoT devices provides access to an important amount of data that can support agriculture, not only across all levels of production, but also at the decision-making level. Nevertheless, a lot of challenges remain to be addressed to improve the impact of digital transformation in the sector. In many regions of the world, the first obstacle is still the digital divide between technology a...

Between smart machines, at the low end, and artificial systems with own legal or even ethical status, at the high end - that is where Artificial Intelligence is being placed in the public discourse.There is much of uncertainty about chances and constraints, opportunities and limitation - but common sense of the large potential of industrial AI.To get the most out of it, good balance of high expectations and subtle concerns is worthwhile. This comes down to the trustworthiness...

The COVID19 crisis has significantly pushed for the digital transformation of our society and economy. Beyond the visible face of digital transformation, deep technological revolutions are happening. Network virtualization, digital twins, far edge computing, artificial intelligence, and distributed ledger technologies are just a few examples. This session brings together representatives of several organizations and fora active in the ICT research domain to share their views on the most import...

The expansion of the IoT and edge computing landscape has brought opportunities but also new challenges. Standards have an essential role in the IoT and edge computing systems. Having a roadmap of IoT standardization can enhance the technical issues that have to be addressed and resolved. The role of standardization in interoperability solutions is key, both by allowing a formalised support to various implementations, and by ensuring a consolidation of the options available so that the int...

The data interoperability in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) has several issues to be solved by the research community. For instance, the large amount of data, the numerous different data models and the data collection at high speed are key challenges to address by the different organizations working in the domain of IoT data interoperability. Different dimensions of IoT data interoperability exist like semantic interoperability, syntacticalinteroperability and the object abstr...

This session will then discuss the future research roadmap on Internet of Things, edge computing and Cloud foreseen in the upcoming European research program. It will more specifically discuss and explore the options to strengthen international cooperation in the Internet of Things and networking technologies research domains, including through international research infrastructure perspective. This session organized by Slices SC project will also count with the participation of experts fr...
