The document discusses potential future internet use cases in several areas: 1) Utilities and environment use cases include monitoring air/water quality, noise, forests fires, and smart metering for electricity, water, and gas. Broader smart city uses also discussed. 2) Transport and logistics uses cases include logistics, traffic management, cooperative systems, and personal mobility. 3) Other areas discussed include smart energy grid, eHealth, finance, and eTourism uses cases.

1. SFI Future Internet Workshop Miguel Ponce de Leon Track: Future Internet PPP Use Cases February 2011

2. FI Use Cases New requirements are being identified through the foresight of future scenarios in the areas of: Utilities & Environment. Transport- Mobility – Logistics. Smart Energy Grid. eHealth and Wellbeing. Finance. eTourism What follows are some highlights from the EFII 2nd FI Usage Area Workshop http://initiative.future-internet.eu/events/2nd-usage-area-workshop/presentations-and-position-papers-for-the-2nd-fi-usage-area-workshop.html

3. Utilities & Environment Use case categories: Pure environment use cases: Air quality, noise, inland water, flood, forest fires, marine ecosystem, agricultural elements. Pure utilities: Smart metering (electricity, water, gas), city automation (public lighting, waste management, ...). Broader smart city use cases: Health, Transport, Tourism, e-Government, e-Education, m-Commerce, ...

4. Transport- Mobility - Logistics Three different potential use cases emerged from the presentations: Logistics Traffic Management and cooperative systems Personnal mobility Innovative Internet Functionality Internet of Things, Data Management, Context awareness, real-time processing, identity management, service composition, billing. For real-time services, scalability and data integrity are also crucial

5. Smart Energy Grid Smart metering: this is the key to enable smart grid, “if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it”. Load balancing / demand side management. Fine-grained Home automation (requiring a HAN), equipping home appliances with communication modules. Interfacing to Smart Buildings. Support for multiple energy providers, energy brokers and energy service providers involved in a single entity / building. Community-based micro-grids. Reduction of waste of energy and resources. Distribution automation / smart grid control. Total lifecycle management wrt. Energy. Cloud services / data center services for Smart Grid. Electric vehicle management. Community-based micro-grid, Supporting groups of people offering renewable energy by operating private wind turbines and solar panels.

6. eHealth and Wellbeing Linking all the points of care. Hospital, labs, homecare, social services Smart Open Services for European Patients. Patient Summaries. ePrescription. Connecting individuals with Health Information Networks. Telehealth becomes “Interactive”. Closed-loop management of Health Issues.

7. Finance Monitoring inter-institutional financial transactions once they have been initiated. Workers remittances, where migrant workers remit money to their relatives in their home country.
