● OMG/NIST
● Cantara/IASA/OSWA
● Been «all-over» the IT/software
industry the last 25+ years,
Norway&abroad
● SensorNet

● Create «tomorrow»

3. Agenda
● About the IoT hype
● An attempt to map the IoT market
● Who is doing what
● Some pointers
● Some key IoT components discussed
● Some key IoT technologies discussed
● Key takeaways

4. An attempt to map the IoT market
Is there any order to the chaos?
Who is doing what?

5. Main categories of IoT activity
● My attempt – three axis landscape
– Open ecosystems versus closed ecosystems
– Instrumenting machines and M2M versus instrumenting the world
(IoS - SensorNet),
– Autonomous devices versus collaborating ecosystems
“Why do the self-driving cars not talk to each other?”
(My daughter(6) to me when I explained her
the Google autonomous car tech.)

6. One way to vizualize the possibillities
Open
ecosystems
Closed
ecosystems
Instrumented
Reality & Sensor
Autonomous
devices
Collaborative
ecosystems
Networks
Smart
machines

7. The key IoT parts..
Radio/
communication
Real-Time
Web Analytics and
processing
platforms
Sensor(s)
Data
collection
Discovery &
addressing
ACL, Privacy,
Micro-payment++
Makers
Actuator(s)

8. Open

9. Internet-of-things - market size M2M
● The $$ cost of M2M hype and false hope - Jeremy Cowan M2M Now
– "but many people I talk to are as unimpressed as I am by forecasts of billions of connected
devices and trillion dollar revenues. Eventually such figures become meaningless.Even
worse, they actively damage future investments in machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications, investments that still offer some of the brightest financial hopes for
network operators worldwide........"
● M2M Growth Curve: Why hasn’t it been steeper?
● Highly Optimistic M2M Benefit Claims from GE - Larry Bellehumeur Novotech
● Is Cisco’s Forecast Of 50 Billion Internet-connected Things By 2020 Too
Conservative? - Jason Dorrier, Singularity Hub

10. Internet-of-things – new markets

11. Who is doing what in Norway?
The battle is on top of hype-cycle
everyone fight for position(s)
– no clear winner(s) in sight..

12. Some of the things that are happening right
now...
Open
ecosystems
Closed
ecosystems
Instrumented
Reality & Sensor
Autonomous
devices
Collaborative
ecosystems
Networks
Smart
machines
Makers
SmartBuilding
SmartHome
Security Health
Vehicles
Oil&Gas
Robots
SmartCity
SmartNation
Climate
& Environment

13. The key IoT parts..
Radio/
communication
Real-Time
Web Analytics and
processing
platforms
Sensor(s)
Data
collection
Discovery &
addressing
ACL, Privacy,
Micro-payment++

Actuator(s)

14. ..but where is the money ?
● Norway – short term
– Health Sector – lack of man-power
● Pasient care
● Elderly
● Safety/Security
– Oil&Gas – too expensive man-power
● sensors replaces humans
– Public transport – more efficient infrastructures
● Should/could but is stil moving very slow..
● ..and the elephant in the room…
– Innovation, innovation, innovation !

15. Some key IoT components discussed
let us use a few minutes to look at some of the parts
which enables the Internet of Things

16. Some key IoT components discussed
● Real-Time Web
– (data)collection,
– Security
– Data Protection and Rights Management
● Communication / Radio(s),
– Bluetooth fast
– Dash7 - http://www.slideshare.net/peburns/blackbird-presentation-
for-general-audiences-040912 (slide 3
shows a comparison)
● Data processing platforms
RTW DC
D&A
ACL

17. Real-Time Web
RTW DC
D&A
ACL
● One definition : the web is considered as the human entrance (interface) to
the real-time environment: at each connected web URL, or Internet real-time
zone, corresponds a different "front-end" web application.
● Main functionality
– Discover and use IoT data and IoT API's
– (Data ownership, security and privacy)
– (Micro-payments)
– Open and accessable, as the web we know...

18. Communication and radios
● In addition to the web as we know today, some IoT eco-systems need additional
or alternative communication solutions
● Some typical requirements
– Low power
– Spontanous networks
– Range
– Hostile environments
● Typical alternatives
– Dash-7, ZigBee, Bluetooth (LE), WiFi
Radio

19. Data processing platforms
● We need space for huge timeseries or sensor readings
– BigData platform
– SaaS typically something lie
● AWS Kinesis
● Azure BigTable
● Two processing modes
– Streaming :
● Typical : Apache Storm
– Analytics :
● Typical Map-Reduce variations
A&P
DC

20. Some key IoT technologies discussed

21. Some key IoT technologies discussed
● What are they, where are they important, where are they useful and
where are they nonsense.
– Security
– Scaleabillity
– Openness and Standardization

22. Where are these technologies most relevant..
Open
ecosystems
Closed
ecosystems
Instrumented
Reality & Sensor
Autonomous
devices
Collaborative
ecosystems
Networks
Smart
machines
scale
security

23. Scaleability
● Some numbers :
– Sensors produce typically 5-60 measurements/minute
– IoT devices have an average of 6-8 sensors
● An value-creating IoT service orchistrate somewhere between 6 and 100.000
sensors/devices
– Simple dataflow : 20.000*20*7= 2.8mill values/minute
● Stream architecture e.g. Apache Storm
– Simple analytics : 2.8 mill*60*24= 5.0mrd
– A year= 1000+ mrd values
● Real BigData landscape
● Developers have to step up to new software architectures !

24. Security & Privacy 1/2
● Sensors
– Important concepts
● Who own the data
● Who do you give access to your dataflow?
– And when..
– And for how long..
– And how to end the permission
– Can the applications you share data with re-use/re-sell your data ?
● Data-stream(s)
– ..and do the NSA's have full access behoind the scenes?
● Actuators
– Here the attacker can do real harm…

25. Security & Privacy 2/2
● Networks
– We we keep beliving in «borderline security» IoT will be the final
straw to disaster…
● No network is safe anymore
● Borderline security died in the last millenium
● Vendors and developers have to step up on privacy and security

26. Security & Privacy 1/2
● Sensors
– Important concepts
● Who own the data
● Who do you give access to your dataflow?
– And when..
– And for how long..
– And how to end the permission
– Can the applications you share data with re-use/re-sell your data ?
● Data-stream(s)
– ..and do the NSA's have full access behoind the scenes?
● Actuators
– Here the attacker can do real harm…

27. Final remarks
● We live in exciting times
● It's time to innovate and
the time is NOW
● Postpone the wedding
– you want to pick a winner
● Keep an eye on development
– Fog of war risks
