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 tutorial will introduce the idea of semantic interoperability and the use of ontologies. Participants will learn what an ontology is and how it can be used. A focus will be on reusing and extending existing ontologies,e.g. SAREF, and getting experience on finding the right ontologies for a given purpose in an ontology catalogue. Finally, ontologies will be used to develop a semantic application for one application domain,e.g. smart home, which will then be extended to semantically interop...

Tourism is one of the most dynamic industries in the world. And COVID19 has hit it especially hard, not only affecting companies but also the destinations. During this session we will have the opportunity to learn from the European Smart Tourism Capitals 2020-2021 as well as from the European Commission, to see how IoT and data can greatly contribute not only to the recovery of tourism, but to make destinations more competitive and attractive

 Artificial intelligence and industrial internet of things, IIoT, are enablers for digitising industries. The progress in technology delivers more intelligence at the edge that empowers IIoT devices with smarter decision-making, high performance, low power processing, and built-in security to create more intelligent and adaptive industrial applications. This session aims to present the research and development results related to the deployment of AI technologies implemented in ...
