11. what ingredients?
• common interfaces to interact with objects
(i.e. REST)
• + extra containers for metadata
• let the systems know what the object is good
for, its location (“I am a Temp sensor in Room
A”), its accuracy, its energy levels etc.
12. WHAT ARE VOs GOOD FOR?
• OBJECTS REUSE
– reuse across different apps, increase availability,
hence, increase monitoring / sensing granularity
• OBJECTS MGMT
– i.e. energy management, contextualised sensing
(accuracy vs. sensing frequency) etc.
• OBJECTS PROXIMITY
– automated selection “by relevance” (see arguments
for cognitive technologies in a minute...)
Providing IoT systems the ability to self-configure, based on various requirements, and ...
13. ...providing IoT systems the ability to adapt

Easy for us...not for a “dumb” computer...
14. the need for cognitive technologies
• iCore Composite Virtual Object (CVO)
– aggregation of simple sensing capability
– self-maintenance (service maintained in case of
failure) increased sensing granularity needed!
– System Knowledge
• what is available to meet reqs?
ability to select alternatives based on
what metadata we put in the extra VO
containers
“smart but not so much...”

17. the need for cognitive technologies
• factoring “smart logic algorithms” out of developers
concerns
– IF “crash” THEN “alertRSA”
– “crash” (IF VO_x = TRUE THEN crash := TRUE)
– (IF VO_x = TRUE AND VO_y = TRUE THEN crash := TRUE)
• iCore community: foster “ready meals” for IoT apps
factor out cognitive technologies

IF VO_x = TRUE

IF (VO_x = TRUE) AND (VO_y = TRUE)
VO_y THEN crash := TRUE
TAG:
IF (VO_x > TH_x) AND (VO_y > TH_y)
crash
CT 2 detect
THEN crash := TRUE
18. the need for cognitive technologies
• rather than for the selection of appropriate templates,
here focus is on refinement of selected one according
to observed system-reality matching
• Real-World-Knowledge “growing”

19. Summary
iCore and Cognitive Technologies
• CVO Level “system knowledge”
– SLA-driven VO selection / maintainance CT 1
– semantic enrichment semantic-based reasoning
– selection by relevance to the needs of the application
• deal with data / information overload
– template select CT 2
– given VO / CVO “types” find best algorithms that combine
these for desired output
• deal with data / information overload
– learn and predict
– given an algorithm, tweak parameters to better align iCore
system behaviour to the observed real situation
– Real World Knowledge (RWK) “growing” CT 3
20. main envisaged applications of iCore results
• smart-cities and IoT-based monitoring
