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,
retails, smart homes, etc.

LinkSmart: structure, eventing
Enhancements in ebbits:
• new types of devices and
services,
• semantic sensor fusion, more
advanced events processing,
• business rules and business
process models,
• pilot applications in
automotive industry and
agriculture
Events processing in LinkSmart:
• Publisher/Subscriber model
• P2P network infrastructure instead of the service bus
• events are wrapped by WS, semantically annotated, then
fused and combined to business rules elements

Living Lab approach to IoT
Objectives, principles of the approach in ELLIOT:
• Explore the potential of user co-creation techniques and tools, such as serious gaming,

(knowledge-social-business) aspects of user interactions
• Targets the optimization of energy consumption in offices
• Focus, goals:
• experiment the ELLIOT outcomes and the new semantically enhanced AmI
technology in the Energy test case in Slovakia
• demonstrate the platform capabilities towards a positive impact on
environment (energy consumption, CO2 footprint)
• Technology:
• AmI-IoT: based on LinkSmart middleware, using outcomes of the FP7
project ebbits.
• Semantics: device ontology, fusion of generated events, business rules
• Devices: energy consumption, environment conditions, and occupancy
sensors - Plugwise, Arduino, …

The Smart Office concept
From “Smart Houses” to “Smart Offices”
Smart House:
• a house that has advanced automatic systems for lighting, heating, air-conditioning,
window and door operations, security etc.
• many solutions, both commercial and research
Smart Office:
•
•
•
•
•
to employ the paradigm of the smart house in a business environment,
inclusion of / integration with business processes,
optimization of existing processes in an organization (or office),
ability to implement new and more efficient business processes,
expected benefits on the user level regarding to more organized and coordinated
social interactions.
Challenges:
• correspondence of AmI-IoT with business processes,
• acceptance and support from the side of employees (and management),
• possible solution: AmI-enhanced services and processes should follow the
recommendations of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL, http://www.itil-officialsite.com) and
the related standard ISO/IEC 20000:1-5.

Living Lab scenarios
Scenario #1: Exploration of a suitable occupancy sensing device
• 4 different types of occupancy sensors identified by IoT experts
• Goal: Users exploring, experiments and evaluation; Focus: to find a balance between:
• Comfortable environment
• Amount of saved energy / CO2 emissions
• Privacy loss
Scenario #2: Process-based adaptation of the working environment
• Uses occupancy sensor as an output of scenario #1.
• Template process model given, e.g. predefined work hours, seasonal settings of
environment
• Adaptation of working environment according to user preferences
• Goal: Adapted process model as an explicit representation of the working environment
settings in a given time scale
Scenario #3: Competition on energy savings in the office
• Users playing a “game” saving real energy
• A visualization showing actual consumption and CO2 footprint data, overall ranking given
• Ranking provided to decision makers -> e.g. awarding of winners?
