Abstract
While the Internet of Things is bringing a vast variety of market sectors usages together; it also is creating a battlefield and a race for sector leadership in the standards environment.
In addition, the promise of IoT to connect the world has also created the need for universal identity and interoperability of Intelligent Things.
In order to be successful, the next generation set of standards will require cohesiveness and composability across a number of market sectors for the connection of Intelligent Things to become reality.

The IoT Standards Environment
Consumer

Enterprise(IT)
Communications Governments
IoT
Formal Standards in all 5 Sectors are creating End to End (E2E) IoT Architecture Frameworks to address the
connection of Things.
Standards Creation reflects business opportunities; this
race is about IoT monetization creating the
potential for market transformation.
Standards harmonization will even become very difficult if
not impossible.
The end-customer is probably not a person but
an entity, thing, or a system. A new type of
marketplace will emerge creating these new
businesses.
A single IoT Standard is not achievable given the market dynamics and
business opportunities.

How do you distill and take the first steps….
I would like to speak about three fundamental topics today:
• Smart Objects
• Interoperability
• Testbeds
7
Smart Objects - Definition
Intelligent Things
Smart Objects = Comprehensive Data Model
Resource Model
Data Schema Model
Protocol Model
Physical Model
Services Model
Immutable Identity Model
Autonomous Model
Smart Objects = Comprehensive
Information Model
Information = (Thing Data) + (Analytics)

Smart Objects – Identity and Privacy
Who are you?What is your provenance?
Can I trust who you say you are?Do you associate with a community or family?
How do I verify who I am speaking to?
I only want to tell you want you need…
How do Smart Objects establish a Trust Model?
Should Privacy be a part of the Smart Objects Model?
What is Immutable Identity and is it really possibleor is it really needed?
Things become Intelligent and Autonomous.
Connection to the Internet and Cloud is optional.
Context Awareness is mandatory for establishing
Trust.
Things will havemultiple
Smart ObjectPersonas.
Is Identity a fundamental component of a Smart Object Marketplace?

Smart Objects – Libraries, Repositories, and Registries

Interoperability - ImportanceIoT Systems: heterogeneous, large-scale, distributed systems with multi-vendor building-blocks
We need Interoperability to build systems, create systems of systems, to keep cost low, to reduce risk, to spur innovation,…
An aircraft jet engine is built with 25,000 parts
A passenger car is built with 30,000 parts
A win turbine is built with 8,000 parts
There are more than 10,000 types of medical devices
… all of which are from hundreds of suppliers….
IoT
11
Interoperability - Definition
IIRA Levels Requirements Aspects Human Language Model
Integrability Compatible signals and protocols
Communication
“Compliance”Syntax – how words can be arranged
Interoperability Common conceptual models
Understanding
“Conformance”Semantics – the meaning of individual words (in context)
ComposabilityMutually shared expectation in behaviors
Action
“Comprehension”
Pragmatics – the meaning of sentences and higher level structure (discourse)
Composability Example: An intelligent thing understanding the difference between:“Chain Supply verses Supply Chain”
12
How to achieve Interoperability?
Consumer internet was based on having integrability• compatible protocols, established through the RFCs
IoT looks to • Integrability compliance for communications and protocols• Data Interoperability conformance in the short term• Intelligence Composability in the longer term safety, security,
resilience…
Key Challenges:• Shared or collaborative architectures and models concerted
efforts• New approaches to achieve composability to satisfy safety & other
concerns• Substantial Investment needed for interoperability testing

Testbed as a Service (TaaS) – Paying for the large investment
• An Open Horizontal TestBed (OHTB) Program could bring a systematic management approach to the construction of the foundational recipes and ingredients of any IoT Reference Architecture Implementation Viewpoint, for a consistent build, construction guidelines, and ensure all Testbed tenets, for example, Interoperability, Scale, Security, and Business Opportunities are being assimilated.
• The mission of an OHTB sponsor would be to offer Testbed ingredients, recipes, and menus and operational capabilities to other vertical TestBeds and innovation centers or organizations for scalable monetization of Testbed investments and cross-cutting interoperability of IoT Service and Solution Delivery Systems.
• Support a scalable economical approach from a Proof of Concept (PoC) to Large Scale Deployments (LSD) programs. Create an environment that facilitates collaboration, acceleration, scale, and business models for all paying participants.
Creating Testbed as a Service (TaaS) Programs across consortia and many other organizations will enhance the ability to normalize the large investment
necessary to build practical on-ramps for large scale deploys of complicated system of systems.

ConclusionIoT Standards interoperability and composability are necessary for market adoption and horizontal solutions with a common understanding that Smart Objects are a key to enable an open marketplace and create platforms for innovation and jobs.
Companies, Organizations, and Governments need to work and potentially nudge together to prevent grid-lock and enable passage.
A potential Testbed as a Service below!
A few days ago, a drone captured this eye-popping video of the world’s worst traffic jam on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway; 50 lanes converging to 20 lanes.
