Who & Where

Antonio Pintus @apintux

technologist @ LBS group, CRS4

research center based in Sardinia, Italy, www.crs4.it

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

Experience in:

Internet/Web of Things

Scalable web architectures, distributed applications

EU FP7 funded project

Creating a socially aware and citizen-centric IoT

Page 3: Humanizing the Internet of Things

Internet of Things, today

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

Proliferation of HW platforms

New middleware platforms to connect things

Vertical applications

Mainly focused on protocols and M2M communication and simple interactions with humans

Page 4: Humanizing the Internet of Things

Internet of Things, what’s missing?

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

Briefly: including people in the IoT loop

User Experience

Privacy & Security

Going beyond controlling connected things

IoT (M2M) + S-IoT + IoP = H-IoT

IoT S-IoTIoP

Is it possible to identify general patterns in an IoT involving humans and things?

M2M Internet of People social things & people

Page 6: Humanizing the Internet of Things

Alan Fiske: models of social relations

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

Communal Sharing Authority Ranking Equality Matching Market Pricing

people use 4 common forms of relationships

- groups of socially equivalent people

- same purpose

- material objects as things they have in common

- hierarchies among people

- Authorities control over subordinates

- no outranks between people

- balance and no authority

- collaboration over shared goals

- one for one correspondence

- proportionality in social relationships

- calculations of cost-benefits

- social value defined by ratios

military ranksfamily: food, use car, …

people on a car pool, colleagues

rents, interest rates, taxes

Fiske’s models & H-IoT: thesis

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

Today, People interacts with (and through) connected things and devices

A Social, Humanized Internet of Things exposes all the Fiske’s models involving people

Adds a new domain to Fiske’s classification: Things over the Internet/Web

People use Fiske’s patterns in social actions through connected things

Totally trusted sharing of smart things

People in the same group use shared things

e.g., smart TV sharing, only family members can use a smart object whereas others also by hosts

Communal Sharing

Things sharing

Things access

Groups of access

Sharing by location

Fiske’s models & H-IoT: mappings /AR

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

A person (with authority) shares things with people (down in the hierarchy), authority is not transferred.

Authority can change sharing and usage policies.

People authority over things

Things sharing doesn’t cause sharing authority over things

Things revoking, restrictions on use

Authority Ranking

Page 10: Humanizing the Internet of Things

Fiske’s models & H-IoT: mappings /EM

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

People share things for a common goal, equally contributing to it and equally getting a benefit (no hierarchy)

e.g., two persons sharing different air quality sensors, allows a third to mashup and build an application for environmental monitoring

Things shared with same authority sharing

Use things to achieve a common goal Equality Matching

Typical IoT markets: HW selling, PaaS fees, app stores, …

e.g., a person pays a fee for a PaaS to connect its digital things. Relationships are ruled by a contract

Things are sold, rented or payed as a service

temporary sharing, contracts Market Pricing

Page 12: Humanizing the Internet of Things

Fiske’s models & H-IoT: reasoning

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

IoP and Social IoT are strictly related and adopting a H-IoT:

people interconnect, interact, socialize, create, communicate and make

through the Internet/Web of connected Things, implicitly using the Fiske’s four forms of sociality

Conclusions and Future Work

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]

- to overtake an IoT concept bound to M2M interactions, people and sociality patterns must be considered

- a new domain in the Fiske’s classification of social relationships patterns: a Humanized IoT (H-IoT)

- we will refine the explored concepts and a conceptual framework will be presented toward building Fiske-complete IoT systems
