IoT, Big Data, AI creëren een nieuwe situatie met betrekking tot het nemen van beslissingen door beleidsmakers. Toch verschuift er weinig in ons democratisch bestel, terwijl onze data in handen zijn van GAFA, China en andere nieuwe vormen van bestuur die nog ontstaan in de digitale transitie. Wij, in Europa, staan stil.
I have been recently been involved in a number of projects around and about the Internet of Things (IoT), smart solutions, sensors or remote control endpoints (e.g. traffic lights, cameras) and their connectivity (see Wikipedia for a basic explanation.
Initially I was wondering what IoT is all about. Is IoT like many fashions in the IT industry before (e.g. e-business, SOA, big data, virtualisation) or is it different?
The reason I have asked myself is because most of those previous trends have been announced as fundamental changes, revolutions, game-changer and paradigm shifts, while most of the time there was much smoke about very little. There was hardly any shift. The innovation was never that innovative. The IT landscape only became more complex. The expected revolution never came.
In order to collect my thoughts and put them in order I have create a presentation which I would like to share here.
Bottom line: IoT is different but not in as much as only in technology terms. There is a large part of combining some new and a lot of existing technologies in very innovative ways.
The main impact is however in the following areas:
1. The new and complex ways of doing business.
2. An increased relevance of legal aspects.
3. A change what users expect from IT and IoT in specific.
4. The extension of information security from protection and defence into policing and enforcement
5. The extension of information security to include requirements and considerations of operational safety.
It has become apparent to me that this time it is different because there is a clear impact for people using technology, not just a technological change. IoT is different and will change not only the IT industry but business and social life as a whole.
Just have a look how I think it could impact you. I hope you are entertained and inspired.

Internet of Things IoT Meaning, Application and Challengesijtsrd
The idea of making self- communicating devices conceived back in 1999 however it caught attention only after the British Entrepreneur Kevin Ashton christened the term Internet of Things. Since then, many distinguished researchers and other academicians of this domain have been adding significant knowledge on the fundamental concepts of IoT in the form of extensive researches, review papers and visual presentations. Here, in this paper, we are shedding light on the core concepts of Internet of Things. We further examine the potential impact of other existing or establishing technologies on IoT. We are presenting an extensive multi-facet report on the implementation of IoT while addressing many probable challenges that may occur in future.

Internet of things iot based real time gas leakage monitoring and controllingIAEME Publication
As the majority of the people in India uses Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a fuel for
cooking, but in India the technology applied in this field (security) is very less. Liquefied petroleum
gas is a flammable gas, which has the potential to create a hazard. Therefore it is important that the
properties and safe handling of LPG are understood and applied in the domestic and
commercial/industrial situations.
The proposed paper is aimed at developing a prototype that constantly monitors the gas leak
with the help of the electronic sensors. This data is made available real time through real time feeds
over the internet. We intend to use Xively (new platform) to feed real time sensor data over the
internet. The sensor monitors, detects and raises an alarm whenever a gas leak or fire broke out
condition is detected. Then it raised an emergency alarm. The emergency alarm condition can be
handled through proper arrangement and alert message to rescue team, which could be an in house
rescue team. Based on the real time data feed connected to Xively, user can easily look at the history
of data and accurately determine the time and date at which emergency condition occurred. This data
helps in easily locating the root cause of the emergency condition occurred. This data helps in easily
locating the root cause of the emergency condition. So that one can know the complete detail of the
hazard.

Ons dagelijks leven en werk speelt zich steeds meer af in netwerken waarin mensen en organisaties zijn verbonden en informatie uitwisselen en delen. Langzaam maar zeker beginnen wij er ook aan te wennen dat steeds meer objecten zoals televisies, auto’s, drones of robots in deze netwerken zijn verbonden en onderling of met mensen en organisaties informatie uitwisselen en delen. Om de Nederlandse industrie te helpen in de transformatie naar Smart Industries is in het afgelopen jaar een landelijk programma en uitvoeringsagenda ontwikkelt die de Nederlandse industrie ondersteunt bij deze transformatie. In de sessie op Overheid 360 introduceerde Ben van Lier de (inter)nationale ontwikkelingen die leiden tot Smart Industries en de vraagstukken die we onderweg het hoofd moeten bieden.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

‘total’ connectivity,
“Future businesses will operate in a universal business ecosystem in which
ICT will become a context for business operation spanning the whole cycle
of value from creation to consumption, encompassing both people and
things, and seamlessly merging the physical world with the virtual world for
the exchange of many different forms of information and the transaction of
different types of value. “
“The marketplaces are likely to be radically different from those of today; the
rules of engagement will be transformed to accommodate new business
entities, relationships and networks; knowledge will almost certainly emerge
as the premium asset and commanding currency. “ (Workshop description document)

new entities as actors,
In the current framework we are used to dealing with three groups of actors:
o citizens/endusers
o industry/sme
o governance/legal
These all are characterized by certain qualities, 'a' for citizens, 'e' for industry, and 'o'
for governance. In our current (Reference) Models and (Reference) Architectures we
build from and with these actors as entities in mind. The data flow of IoT will engender
new entities consisting of different qualities taken from the former three groups. There
will thus be no more 'users' who need to secure 'privacy' as the concept of privacy has
to be distributed over the qualities of the new actor. In this conceptual space we have
build notions of privacy, security, assets, risks and threats....
Example: private grid operator

Sensing Enterprise
“With the advent and spreading of sensors networks, the management of
business reality will progressively change. To fully exploit the potentiality
inherent to the future IoT (Internet of Things), there is a need to decentralise
intelligence, moving to a scenario where the 24 enterprise is seen as a
smart complex entity capable of sensing and reacting to (business) stimuli.
At the same time, having delegated to the lower levels data management,
humans will be able to concentrate on more strategic issues.” (FInES,
Research Roadmap 2025 13 DRAFT DOCUMENT 19 (Version 2.0) 20
March 2012)

business models,
Parallel to the recent meeting of IoT and robotics:
Gérald Santucci, European Commission IoT architect: “Some time in the relatively
near future, the intelligence will be embedded in edge networks and devices rather
than on the cloud(s). Therefore, information will no longer be confined in databases,
monitor screens or smartphones of all kinds, it will reside in the objects themselves -
buildings, cars, furniture, domestic appliances, clothes, bodies... Intelligence will be
everywhere - around us (our environment), on us (our wearings), and in us (our
body). Computers will be so small that they will become ubiquitous and invisible, thus
heralding an era of "smart nano-things", and they will communicate with each other
and automatically connect to a huge, complex network composed of millions of
invisible networks. A new paradigm is slowly but surely emerging which will impose to
revisit our concepts (e.g. from privacy to privacies, from human freedom to ethics in
the knowledge sphere, from homogeneous information systems to heterogeneous
mediators like (ro)bots, from data subject to the empowered citizen, etc. The pattern
is on the side of decentralised, embedded, smart and connected machines/objects. “

business models,
Historical background: Project Cybersyn, 1971-1973, Chile
“In this way we sought to endow the humblest Chilean enterprise with computer power - not to
calculate its payroll or update its order books on which and similar trivialities most of the world’s
computer power is frittered away - but to be a new lobe of the management’s own brain. We found
that Cyberstride could track the course of the critical variables, and sound alarms about potential
trends far more reliably than can the brain itself. There were many practical difficulties. The
greatest was the need to tune Cyberstride so that it would not overreact. A special tuning
programme had to be prepared for the purpose.
The conceptual framework we were using changed the way that both the government and industry
looked at their problems. As the practice tools became available that enabled both to deal with the
tasks of allocation and distribution, and to face up to emergencies by local shortages and even
widespread strikes, the people found that the basic model made sense in active service. The
process of innovation became a dynamic drive.

business models,
Historical background: Project Cybersyn, 1971-1973, Chile
“If a system regulates itself by subtracting at all times as little horizontal variety as is necessary to
maintain the cohesion of the total ‘system’ then the condition of autonomy prevails.
“Enterprises are horizontal components of an industry itself conceived as a vertical component.
Now advance a level of recursion. Here there are industries- as horizontal components, and
something called a branch of industry (such as ‘light’ or ‘heavy’) is the vertical component .
Advance to the next level of recursion. The branches are now horizontal components, and the
vertical component is total industry itself.
Further level of recursion, industry joins agriculture, transportation, health, education, and so on,
as a horizontal component of something called the economy). The conceptual modelling is not just
fun and games. I mentioned earlier that I went to Chile armed with a basic model of organisation,
based on neurocybernetics.”

o Huge youth unemployment and lack of credibility of the elites
“All the above are taking shape against the backdrop of deep
economic uncertainty and shrinking budgets universally, from which
a new generation of leaner, agile and adaptive businesses should
eventually emerge. “ (Workshop description document)

decision making systems, experts and their new role,
Experts have to become more ‘political’, and ‘take over’.
Stafford Beer: “When the professional institutions of Chile finally became aware of
project
Cybersyn, they asked me to address them. I was open with my attitudes to them, as I
am
with you today. They were deeply shocked. They called me a partisan. Of course I am
a
partisan, because I am a human being, and to be a scientist is less than a castration.
Perhaps this shocks you too. But if so, that is an intrinsic part of my message that you
may accept or reject with all the rest. The time has passed when professionals can
possibly disown the consequences of their work.”
