Internet of Things

The IoT Value Proposition● The Network Effect applied to physical objects and

resources; the more connections, the greater the value

● Incremental value in conversion of capital assets to managed resources through connection to services

● Multiplicative value in managing collections of resources as a system

M2M and IoT – The Big Picture

IoT is built on M2M ● IoT is more than standardized M2M ● Adds data model layer to the system ● Open Internet protocols and RESTful APIs● Event Driven Architecture ● Platforms are both vertical and horizontal

M2M = Machine to Machine● Focus on Connectivity between

devices and services● Standardizes Protocols and APIs for

communication between endpoints● Enables Vertical Integration across

technology stack

IoT = Internet of Things● Focus on Interoperability between

connected systems● Standard APIs and Data Models

between resources and applications● Enables Horizontal Integration across

resources from multiple M2M systems

IOTWF Take-away Messages

In February 2013, Cisco hosted an industry communication event to plan for an IoT World Forum (IOTWF) event in the fall. Some take-aways on Architecture and Platforms:

● An Open Horizontal Platform is needed for IoT

● Focus on Interoperability of Data Models, Information Models, Discovery Abstractions

● Built as a bottom-up practical standard

● Built as an Industry, working together

GSC MSTF Conference at Georgia Tech Research Institute – Atlanta, GA , USA – May 7, 2013

IoT Standards

● IoT Standards include M2M Standards● Add a layer of Discovery, Interoperability, and

Autonomy on top of M2M● Need to work across diverse M2M systems● Provide a common application services layer

including M2M and Discovery abstractions● Provide a common resource abstraction layer

GSC MSTF Conference at Georgia Tech Research Institute – Atlanta, GA , USA – May 7, 2013

Interoperability Standards

● Focus on system end points: Devices, Data, User Applications

● Common Application Enablement● Common M2M Abstractions● REST APIs● Resource Encapsulation – Object Models e.g. CoAP● Data Models and Information Models● Discovery Abstractions (Devices, Resources,

Capabilities)

Open Source API for Interoperability

IoT ToolkitThe IoT Toolkit is an Open Source project to develop a set of tools for building multi-protocol Internet of Things Gateways and Service gateways that enable horizontal co-

operation between multiple different protocols and cloud services. The project consists of the Smart Object API, gateway service, and various related tools.

What is an Open Source Ecosystem?

Open Avenues for Participation at all Levels● License, NDA, TOU; what are the restrictions?● As a user, customer, or product owner?● As a Product + Service developer or vendor?● As a Platform Developer using a standard?● As a Standards developer influencing a standard? ● Driven by Business model or broad value creation?● Governance model, how are decisions made?

OPEN SOURCE = MULTIPLE SOURCES

Call to Action

Let’s Build IoT Standards Together● Open Source Standards, Community Participation● Top-down Architectural Models, Bottom-up Development Process● Solve Real Problems based on a small number of diverse use cases● Open Source Reference Implementation ● Internet-Style Standards, Rough Consensus and

Running Code

A First Step…

We are building a new organization: the “Open Source Internet of Things” a.k.a. OSIOT

with a single focus: to

develop an Open Source Horizontal Platform for the Internet of Things

● Engineering driven using an open source, Internet oriented development process

● Broad participation of Industry, Research, and Emerging technology developers

● Collectively build a layer of interoperability based on common APIs and data models, drawn from Internet standards and industry best practices

● Create standards that become publicly accepted as de facto standards capable of generating new opportunities and new value for the emerging Internet of Things

Open Source Platform

The Open Horizontal enables horizontal co-operation between multiple different protocols and services. The focus is on Common Data Models, Information Models, and

Shared Abstractions for Communication and Resource Discovery *Not To Scale
