Personal data protection is a fundamental right. However, many companies routinely collect a growing number of personal data on EU residents and trade them as a commodity. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been adopted to better protect personal data and data subjects’ rights. The strong penalties of the GDPR now constitute a strong incentive and catalyst for making data processing comply with the regulation.Several solutions are merging from the research to support ...

The rising awareness of climate change has caused the popularization of sustainability and the realization that we need to do things not only differently, but better.As focus shifts to finding solutions to climate issues, technological advancements and innovation present a promising way forward. The Internet of Things, for example, which Boston Consulting Group estimates will boom into an $267 bil...

During this session, the existing Large-Scale Pilots from the Health and Care Cluster will provide an overview of how they are setting the scene for the deployment of scalable solutions. In this context, the aim will be to enable the development of sustainable solutions for innovative health and social care services enabled by transformational digital technologies and, likewise, how the involved institutions are considering the European Health Data ...

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...

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...

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 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 interoperable testbed federations permit to test and use new technological developments linked to the Internet in real conditions. The assessment of the scalability of such recent developments can be done in federated and interoperable testbeds. New use cases can be elaborated and implemented in interoperable testbed federations through realistic experiments. The federation and the interconnection of different testbeds are done through standardized open APIs which are currently in phas...

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...

Last August 2021 BDVA released his community position to the proposal for AI regulation supporting the idea of balancing between regulation and innovation. It is acknowledged the importance of trust and trustworthiness to boost investment and innovation. However, the cost, time, infrastructure, and knowledge needed to e.g. comply with the AI regulation may be burdensome. There is a risk that small companies, research and education organizations might not be able to easily follow and be aff...
