An Interoperability platform for a Real-world populated Internet of Things domain

Background - IoTS
• Domain: Interned of Things and Services
– Also known as Ambient intelligence
– Def. by IoT Cluster Roadmap 2009: (IoT) is an integrated part of Future
Internet and could be defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with
self configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable
communication protocols where physical and virtual “things” have identities,
physical attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces,
and are seamlessly integrated into the information network.
• Research challenges:
– Edge technologies (sensors, actuators, ...) that make devices "smart enough" to
participate in IoT application scenarios;
– Networking technologies allowing the highly available bi-directional communication;
– Middleware systems and SOA putting real-world data into the IoT applications;
– Platform services ensuring scalability, high availability, and the safe and secure
execution of the requested functionalities
– Web service technologies that reduce interoperability issues and enhance extensibility,
platform independence and standardised exchange of messages.

Background - related projects
• HYDRA (www.hydramiddleware.eu)
– EU FP6 project, IST-2005-034891
– Objective: to develop a SOA-based middleware
for networked embedded systems.
– Support for distributed as well as centralised architectures, security and
trust, reflective properties and model-driven development of applications
• Socrades (www.socrades.eu)
– Integrated EU FP6 project, IST-5-034116
– Objective: to specify a service-oriented framework
for device-level infrastructures, where system intelligence
is achieved by intelligent physical agents embedded
in smart devices.

Basic facts
• Full title: Enabling Business-Based Internet of Things and Services
• Integrated EU project, FP7 ICT,
Activity ICT-2009.1.3 “Internet of Things and Enterprise environments”,
Contract no.: 257852
• Duration: 09/2010 – 08/2014 (48 months)
• Planned effort: 1091 person-months
• Project consortium: 9 partners (universities, research institutes,
private companies) from 5 countries (GE,SWE,DEN,IT,SK)
• Coordinator: Fraunhofer Institute, Germany
– 2 pilot applications - Italy and Denmark
• Main project objective: To develop architecture, technologies and
processes, which allow businesses to semantically integrate the Internet
of Things into mainstream enterprise systems and support interoperable
real-world, on-line end-to-end business applications.

Vision and aims
•
Integration of physical devices, systems and components directly into their
optimising systems, i.e. managing workflows, people, processes, information and
knowledge, and turn them into useful, value-added business services or service
components;
•
Interoperability between various subsystems in manufacturing environments
across manufacturing cells, manufacturing lines end entire manufacturing plants,
regardless of geographical location with the aim to support production and
energy optimisation;
•
Provide a support on demands for authentication and traceability of a product
line through ubiquitous services integrated in wireless communication networks
and smart home infrastructures,
•
Easy and cost-effective networking of components, devices and systems
towards the product line in a mainstream enterprise system, which will be
provided by the interoperable solution in an open architecture.

Technology objectives
•
Introduce a service-oriented architecture based on open protocols and
middleware, that effectively transforms every device into a web service with
semantic resolution;
•
Support mainstream business applications with connectivity to and
monitoring of products in their entire lifecycle, i.e. from early manufacturing
stages to end-of-life;
•
Allow for distribution of intelligence between the edge network and the
centralised business/process information system and eliminate centralised
gatekeeper lock-in of critical business functionalities;
•
Enable the convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of
Services (IoS) into the “Internet of People, Things and Services (IoPTS)”
for business purposes.

The concept of ebbits
The ebbits platform:
1. a bridge between
enterprise and public
information systems,
between human users
and “things” in the
physical world
2. a communication
infrastructure that,
by means of SWS,
automatically and
dynamically connects
to sensors and
devices in the
physical world - in
manufacturing
facilities or in private
smart homes.

Architecture schema
Modules - production servers:
1. Data management - a central
data provision background for
data transfer, manipulation,
event handling, etc.;
2. Service orchestration structuring services into a predefined sequence of execution;
3. Network management - physical
communication between devices
/ persons / repositories;
4. Security management ontology-based user and device
profiles management;
5. Application development - an
open SDK for model-driven
development of ebbits-enabled
applications.

Pilot applications
• Deployment in the manufacturing stage:
– to manage production optimisation with special
emphasis on energy savings and CO2 reduction;
– automotive industry, assembly processes;
– data collected from sensors in the assembly line,
semantically annotated and processed towards the
optimisation criteria.
• Deployment in the consumption stage:
– traceability throughout the food chain, from “farm to
fork”, accross the life-cycle history of the food;
– collecting data automatically from various actors,
sensors and systems, indexing and intelligently
registering it in public databases.
