Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications are bringing fundamental changes to all sectors of society and economy and constitute an essential element of the Next Generation Internet (NGI). IoT technologies and applications are changing the way users, services and applications interact with the real world environment in a trusted way. The topic involves support researchers, industry, application developers and start-ups.

Digitalization is disrupting consumer businesses we experience this in our daily lives. As digital technologies got more mature, industrial companies also starting to take advantage to create new unique selling points. In many cases this starts with increasing efficiency, flexibility, quality and speed. Recently we also see more business model innovation leveraging digitalization in the industrial space. IoT and Analytics is often the entry point fo...

What market incentives do we have and need to reach the goals of “DDD” - Decarbonisation, Digitalisation and Decentralisation? What ecosystem enablement, what investment, what level of scale-ups, and tools do we need to build Energy Marketplaces? What are the requirements form the investment community? Are enabling technologies ready for the challenge? Are communities, citizens and the public sector ready for the challenge?

The potential of AI is now widely understood, not only in Europe but globally. As industry and corporations race to make the most of the emerging opportunities, there remains one problem: the availability of data. Due to a lack of trust, standard frameworks and legal and ethical uncertainties, a lot of valuable data that is already being exchanged in established data value chains and automated networks, is not being exploited outside of its primary purpose. As...

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...

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 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...

Fundamental research in the EU and the US on new concepts for distributed computing and swarm intelligence  The objective of the session is to explore the ground for potential collaboration of EU and US academia on fundamental, pre-competitive research on new concepts for distributed computing in the context of edge computing at device level and decentralised intelligence  which is mutually beneficial:   

The evolution of the IoT into the Next-generation IoT will be marked by a series of technological advances which includes contextually aware and distributed intelligence, federated services and microservices, integration of DLTs and smart contracts, and tactile and AR interfaces among others. It is typified by the convergence between the cloud and Edge along the human-cloud computing continuum and is underpinned by the functionalities afforded by 5G networks.&nb...

The European Commission is preparing an Action Plan on the Digitalisation of Energy (DoEAP), to be published in autumn 2022. Digitalisation is a prerequisite and allows to the efficient and effective operation of the energy system and energy markets. The data includes metering data, data from consumers such as home appliances, building automation, EV charging stations, or prosumers PV panel & inverters. Its availabilit...

Overall IoT and Edge Computing Standardisation ChallengesPolicy and Regulations on IoT and Edge ComputingSDOs on Solving IoT and Edge Computing Standardisation Challenges

Rolf Riemenschneider (European Commission) – EU perspective challenges related to performing processing in the cloud.  The need to move processing to the edge where possible for latency, energy efficiency, security reasons (alleviate load on the cloud). Michael Hayes (Tyndall National Institute) “Power IoT challenges and opportunities (related to IoT wireless edge devices)” 

The move to the Far Edge will have huge economic potential by leveraging a local, distributed computing infrastructure, and it facilitates the creation of new services and business models, which are much more rooted in verticals around the applications than today’s more general-purpose cloud business models.The session will focus on the economic potential of Edge Computing in the context of the n...

The Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative from the European Commission aims at developing key building blocks of the internet of tomorrow and shape its development towards an internet of humans that responds to our fundamental needs, including trust, security, openness and inclusion, and in general reflects the values and norms we enjoy in our society. At the core of the initiative stands a research and innovation programme dedicated to directly support in...

This session will explore the concepts of big data analytics and AI and delve into the intersection between them. Accordingly, this session will also examine how AI related technologies could enhance big data analytics and business applications.
