OSGi Alliance presentation at CeBIT IoT Summit from March 2016.
Presented by Dr Richard Nicholson.
From the Environment to Manufacturing, from the Consumer to Education, from Finance to Government, IoT has the potential to transform markets and businesses and almost everything we know today. However, to achieve this change, one must first be cognizant of, and then address, the business and engineering challenges posed by IoT. Business as usual in IT will not deliver the promises of IoT!
This talk will review the fundamental characteristics required for any pervasive IoT solution to achieve this transformation and discuss the central importance of an industry standard for software modularity. These will be compared and contrasted against some of the hot IT trends of the last decade. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the OSGi Alliance and its activities within the IoT, along with industry examples and some opportunities for you to take advantage or and get involved with OSGi.

Microservices: The Future-Proof Framework for IoTCapgemini
Dr Michael Capone Principal Analyst - Capgemini
The data generated by IoT-enabled machines, vehicles and devices can provide companies with insight into user behaviour that they can use to create a personal connection with their customers. Companies are, therefore, scrambling to implement IoT systems in order to generate, capture, protect, and analyse this valuable data. But the insights created are only valuable when they trigger consequent decisions and timely actions. There are many potential users of IoT data such as marketing, sales, held service, product
development, customer support, operations, and supply chain not to mention external users like vendors and partners. Each user group needs to be able to access and select different data and apply different logic and analytic approaches to perform specific tasks.
Furthermore, each group can have unique usability requirements. As companies become more IoT mature and start to plan for “data actionability,” the disadvantages of a homogenous IoT stack or departmental systems become obvious. The best option from a data quality, user acceptance, and ROI perspective is a microservices IoT platform.

Composing a case management solution with SaaS, PaaS, On-premise productsLeon Smiers
Case management is supporting the core processes of a company. Big challenges, both internal and external, have impact on the core processes. Internal drivers related to costs, external drivers to customers demanding better and faster delivered services. Should we continue with our on-premise application landscape, should we move to the cloud or do we end up with a hyrbid landscape. An holistic approach leads to better insight in the solution! This holistic approach consists of a Case Management Framework that gives insight where internal/external changes impact the solution and how these can be mapped towards on-prem/cloud products. Three examples are used to explain this methodology, a mortgage request, police investigation and the hotel overbooking scenario.

Implementing API-led Cloud-native apps on OCISven Bernhardt
Presentation held at AIOUG Sangam 2020
Cloud-native is the way new applications should be built today. It doesn’t matter here, if the application is going to be deployed in the Cloud or On-prem. The most important thing is that an application is applicable for getting the most out of the Cloud with respect to efficiency. APIs and Containers are essential building blocks of Cloud-native applications. As Cloud-native apps are driven by APIs, the development of such an app should start with defining the API in an API design-first approach.
Within this session I’ll give further insights into what makes Cloud-native development different from classical app development. Furthermore, we’ll go through the respective development steps (API design, Service development, Deployment to OCI, API exposure) to make the session more practical. For exposing the app to the outside world OCI API Gateway will be used. The development of the Cloud-native app is done using Oracle’s Microservice framework Helidon.

In this session our experts and Oracle ACE Directors Danilo Schmiedel and Torsten Winterberg have presented an in-depth discussion of Oracles new Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Service from an architectural perspective. They have presented a reference architecture that also includes Oracles Integration, Process, Big Data, and Mobile Cloud Services. During the session they have demonstrated highlights and lessons learned from their first implementations with IoT Cloud Service.
The core of the story has been a live demo showing the development of a vending machine case. The vending machine is simulated by a Pi, which calls the IoT cloud, routes data to BI cloud and some ERP in the cloud. The way back is initiated by an iBeacon placed on the vending machine, which triggers a mobile app that simulates payment and talks via IoT Cloud directly with the vending machine to complete the purchase.

OSGi -Simplifying the IoT Gateway - Walt Bowersmfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
Why do IoT gateways have to be so difficult? Currently the fragmentation, complexity, and potential lock-in of the gateway make picking an IoT gateway solution appear difficult. Add to that developer integration challenges and the gateway picture seems overly complex. Enter OSGi to simplify the development and deployment of the IoT Gateway.</p>
Built on OSGi, Eclipse Kura provides an open platform for developing and deploying IoT gateways. Combining live demonstrations on the Raspberry Pi and Eurotech Reliagate with real world Eurotech use cases, this talk will provide an overview of Kura demonstrating how it leverages OSGi to simplify IoT gateway solutions.
Title: Your organization needs an OSPO, or be ready to fail!
Open source is becoming the main ingredient for companies to success. To achieve it, companies need to manage efficiently their relationship with open source projects. And that’s the main goal for companies’ Open Source Program Office (OSPO).
During this talk, you will learn about the benefits of having an OSPO in your organization, why should companies adapt to open source and adopt an OSPO, how it makes a difference to have a team responsible for viewing, managing, making critical decisions, contributions back to open source projects, and providing oversight for open source initiatives on their company and where they should start. Also, we will give real examples of how companies are doing this today and their impact for the community, like Samsung Open Source Group, Uber, and others.
Additionally, you will learn about communities and initiatives to help you having a successful OSPO, like TODO Group and CHAOSS, the importance of CHAOSS to give actual data and insights about open source projects and a bigger perspective with analytics dashboards, and how data and metrics from the OSPO can help companies tackle their corporate strategy.
Independent of the source of data, the integration and analysis of event streams gets more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events.
So far this mostly a development experience, with frameworks such as Oracle Event Processing, Apache Storm or Spark Streaming. With Oracle Stream Analytics, analytics on event streams can be put in the hands of the business analyst. It simplifies the implementation of event processing solutions so that every business analyst is able to graphically and decleratively define event stream processing pipelines, without having to write a single line of code or continous query language (CQL). Event Processing is no longer “complex”! This session presents Oracle Stream Analytics directly on some selected demo use cases.

Threat Modeling for the Internet of ThingsEric Vétillard
A presentation made in several public events in 2015 about the threats related to the Internet of Things, and how modeling can be used as a way to manage mitigation methods.
We hear a lot about microservices vs. SOA but in reality most companies have both. In this session learn about how you can introduce microservices into your existing infrastructure and where microservices makes the most sense. Topics include how API management and the integration platform help you introduce microservices without the anarchy. See how products such as Oracle API Platform Cloud Service and Oracle Service Bus can be used to support traditional integration styles as well as microservices.
Presented by Luis Weir, Principal, Oracle Ace Director, Capgemini, at Oracle OpenWorld 2016.
We all hear about automation, bots, IoT, self-driving cars, microservices, and cyborgs, but how could this all work without APIs? APIs will continue to play an increasingly important role in making this world a reality. Come hear from our team of futurists about their vision of how the digital landscape will evolve and the role that API Management will have in this brave new world.
Presented by Luis Weir, Principal, Oracle Ace Director, Capgemini, at Oracle OpenWorld 2016.
Today there is tremendous pressure on organizations to improve customer service and supply chain efficiency while reducing IT costs. Moving applications to the cloud is an attractive option and is receiving a lot of attention.
Many organizations hear a lot about the cloud and its value but are unsure of what it truly means. The Capgemini Cloud Readiness Assessment provides a roadmap to guide customers on their cloud journey and helps them answer the following questions:
• What is the value to the organization of migrating to the cloud?
• What is the cost and the timeline to move to the cloud?
• What is the organization’s specific migration path to the cloud model?
• Which best practices should the organization adopt?

Implementing Enterprise API Management in Oracle CloudCapgemini
API-led connectivity has become the main mechanism to integrate with software-as-a-service applications. Mobile applications, modern web applications, and the Internet of Things also need APIs. In Oracle Cloud, there are at least six cloud services offering a solution for APIs (five of which are Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, Oracle API Manager Cloud Service, Oracle API Catalog Cloud Service, Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service, and Oracle Integration Cloud Service).
This presentation describes what an enterprise-wide API management solution looks like, elaborates on a solid API taxonomy, and then shows how to position each of the mentioned cloud services to deliver an end-to-end API management solution in Oracle Cloud that is also capable of handling hybrid cloud use cases.

Badly designed code is one of the highest price we pay as an industry. In many cases the cost of adding or changing features increases with the time we advance into the project. The bigger the project gets, the more complex it gets and the more costly it is to work on it, if it lacks structure. If you need to migrate it, you need to rewrite it all.
In this session I will show from real world projects experience how to keep your team efficient changing the code when you need to move into the Cloud, with what I call the Application Software Infrastructure. It assures code quality through structure rather than relying on discipline only. It documents the architecture into code and bridges this way the architectural diagrams and the code structures.

This is the deck I presented on 16th March 2016 in Halle 12 @ 11:00am
The Internet of Things—what many are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution—is shaping up to be a game-changing marvel as great as the Internet itself. With more than 10 billion connected devices and thousands more coming online by the minute, we are undoubtedly more connected than ever before. From your dishwasher to your toothbrush to your dog’s collar, electronic devices everywhere are connected. This phenomenon is drastically increasing demands on APIs, data, security, and software quality, pushing every industry sector to step up its game to stay relevant in the new era of connectedness. Although IoT will make our lives simpler as Things talk to other Things and anticipate our needs, mobile apps and devices—our primary communication conduit—will continue to increase in relevance and reliance. Steven Winter shares his insights about the challenges of IoT from his experience building a quality program to support the Starbucks Card Mobile and more than 3,000 mobile apps servicing 1,500 banks and 35 million users. Steven focuses on how automated mobile testing and continuous improvement for mobile apps have forged inroads for the IoT and why software quality will grow in importance as a market differentiator.

COVID-19 heightened chronic challenges within the global healthcare industry. It became a catalyst amid fierce competition and tight regulations for health providers and payers to focus on digital health, cybersecurity, patient data transparency, and a variety of customer-centric and operational enhancements. As a result, we found the 2022 trendline pointing to improvements in access and quality of care.
Healthcare challenges such as optimizing the cost of care while simultaneously enabling personalized interventions and consumer-friendly shoppable services are long-standing − but, historically, the industry has been slow to react.
Read our Top Trends 2022 report to examine the lingering ramifications of the pandemic, responses from medical and insurance organizations, and the worldwide impact of ever-changing regulatory standards and mandates.
A combination of factors − the pandemic, catastrophic weather events, evolving policyholder expectations, and insurers’ drive for operational efficiency and future relevance − are sparking P&C industry changes.
In a post-COVID, new-normal environment, the most strategic insurers are building resilient, crisis-proof enterprises poised to take advantage of emerging and future business opportunities. They are leveraging advanced data analytics and novel technologies to assure agility and achieve positive revenue and customer satisfaction outcomes. Competitive advantage will hinge on accelerated digitalization and faster go-to-market. Therefore, win-win partnerships and embedded services with InsurTechs and other ecosystem players are critical.
Read Capgemini’s Top P&C Insurance Trends 2022 for a glimpse at the tactical and strategic initiatives carriers are undertaking to boost customer-centricity, product agility, intelligent processes, and an open ecosystem to ensure profitable growth and future-readiness.
This analysis provides an overview of the top trends in the commercial banking sector as they shift to technology high gear to boost client efficiency and battle a volatile, uncertain, competitive, and evolving landscape.
First, it was retail banking. Now, advanced technology is shifting to – and disrupting − the commercial banking space. Many commercial banks, known for paperwork, red tape, and branch dependency, were unprepared to support clients during their post-COVID-19 ramp-up. But now, the digital pivot to new mindsets, partnerships, and processes is in overdrive.
As commercial banks grapple with competition from FinTechs, BigTechs, and alternative lenders, their inability
to fulfill SME demands and pandemic after-shocks necessitates transformative process changes and a move
to experiential, sustainable, and inclusive banking models. We expect banks to strive to meet the demands
of corporate clients and SMEs by digitally transforming critical workflows and improving client experience.
Additionally, incremental process improvements in the middle and back-office that leverage intelligent
automation will keep the competition at bay because engaged clients are loyal.
Adopting newer methods to mine data and moving to as-a-Service models will prepare commercial banks
to flexibly respond to newcomers and find ways to co-exist through effective collaboration. The time has come for commercial banks to put transformation on the fast track as lending losses in wallet and market share could spill over to other functions!
How incumbents react and respond to 2022 trends could determine their relevancy and resiliency in the years ahead.
The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the payments industry undergo a facelift, sparked by novel approaches from new-age players, fostered by industry consolidation, and customers’ demand for end-to-end experience. Crossing the threshold, the industry is entering a new era – Payments 4.X, where payments are embedded and invisible, and an enabling function to provide frictionless customer experience. As customers make a permanent shift to next-gen payment methods, Digital IDs are critical for a seamless payment experience. The B2B payments segment is witnessing rapid digitization. BigTechs, PayTechs, and industry newcomers are ready to jump in with newfangled solutions to help underserved small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
As incumbents struggle with profits, new-age firms are forging ahead to take the lead in the Payments 4.X era by riding the success of non-card products and services. The new era demands collaboration, platformification, and firms can unleash full market potential only by embracing API-based business models and open ecosystems. Data prowess and enhanced payment processing capabilities are inevitable to thrive ahead. The clock is ticking for banks and traditional payments firms because the competitive advantage is not guaranteed forever. As industry players seek economies of scale, consolidations loom, and non-banks explore new territories to threaten incumbents’ market share. While all these 2022 trends are at play, central bank digital currency (CBDC) is emerging globally and might open a new chapter in the current payments landscape.
As we slowly move out of the pandemic, financial services firms have learned the criticality of virtual engagement to business resilience. Wealth management firms will need capabilities to cater to new-age clients and deliver new-age services. This report aims to understand and analyze the top trends in the Wealth Management industry this year and beyond.
A year ago, our Top Trends in Wealth Management report emphasized how the pandemic sparked disruption and digital transformation and changing investor attitudes around Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) products. As we begin 2022, many of those trends continue to hold as COVID-19’s wide-reaching effects continue to influence the wealth management industry.
As wealth management (WM) firms supercharge their digital transformation journeys, investments in cybersecurity and human-centered design are becoming critical to building superior digital client experience (CX). Another holdover trend − sustainable investing – is gaining mainstream attention and generating increasingly sophisticated client demands. Data and analytics capabilities will become ever more essential for ESG scoring and personalized customer engagement. As large financial services firms refocus on their wealth management business while new digital players make industry strides, competition is becoming historically intense. Not surprisingly, client experience is the new battleground.
This analysis provides an overview of the top trends in the retail banking sector driven by the competition, digital transformation, and innovation led by retail banks exploring novel ways to create and retain value in evolving landscape.
COVID-19 caught banks off guard and shook legacy mindsets to the core. With 20/20 (2020) hindsight, firms are more aware, digitally resilient, and financially stable as they head into 2022. The trials of the past 18 months forced firms to shore up existing business and consider new models and revenue streams.
Customer-centricity remains at the top of most FS agendas and is a 2022 focal point. Banks will focus on achieving operational excellence as diligently as delivering superior CX. In 2022 and beyond, it will be paramount for FIs to explore and invest in new technologies to remain relevant and resilient.
Banking 4.X will arrive in full force in 2022 with platform-supported firms monetizing diverse ecosystem capabilities and aggressively harvesting data to create experiential customer journeys through intelligent and personalized engagements. The new era will compel future-focused banks to finally abandon legacy infrastructure and collaborate with third-party specialists to solidify their best-fit, long-term roles. Increasingly, open platforms will make banks invisible as banking becomes embedded into customer lifestyles. At the same time, banks will shed asset-heavy models and shift to the cloud for greater agility, speed to market, and faster innovation. The shift will act as a precursor to adopting new technologies on the horizon – 5G and Decentralized Finance.
The recent past was filled will extraordinary lessons for financial institutions. Now is the time to act on those learnings and move forward profitably.
While COVID-19 has sparked the demand for life insurance, it has also exposed the operating model vulnerabilities in distribution, servicing, and customer retention. In a post-COVID, new-normal environment, insurers need to enhance their capabilities around advanced data management and focus on seamless and secure data sharing to provide superior CX and hyper-personalized offerings. Accelerated digitalization and faster go-to-market are vital to remaining competitive, and win-win partnerships with ecosystems are critical in the journey.

When we published the Top Trends in Wealth Management 2020, little did we foresee the pandemic that would sweep through the world and disrupt life as we knew it. Yet, when we reviewed last year’s trends, we found that many still hold and some have taken on even greater relevance. One such trend is sustainable investing, which had begun to gain prominence as investors became more aware of ESG considerations, and firms rolled out more sustainable investing offerings. Another trend that has accelerated in the post-COVID world is the importance of investing in omnichannel capabilities and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance personalization and advisor effectiveness. The pandemic has driven wealth management firms to accelerate their digital transformation journey, with some immediate focus areas being interactive client communications and digital advisor tools.
There is no denying that time is of the essence. Yes, budgets are tight, but the Open X ecosystem offers wealth management firms opportunities to reimagine their operating models and deliver excellent customer experience cost-effectively.
Top trends in Payments: 2020 highlighted the payments industry’s flux driven by new trends in technology adoption, innovative solutions, and changing consumer behavior.

Aspects of the life insurance industry have remained constant for years – and so have premiums. Traditional savings products have taken a huge hit in terms of attractiveness because low interest-rates prevail. Meanwhile, the risk landscape is shifting, and insurers need to align better with the emerging business environment, manage changing customer preferences, and improve operational efficiencies. Within today’s scenario, industry players are undertaking tactical and strategic shifts in attempts to manage unpredictable market dynamics. Insurers must develop alternative products to breathe new life into policies and leverage emerging technologies (artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, and blockchain) to improve efficiency, agility, flexibility, and customer-centricity.
Read Top Trends in Life Insurance: 2020 for a look at the innovative steps future-focused insurers are considering to meet industry challenges and opportunities.
The health insurance industry is evolving and undergoing significant changes. As the risk landscape shifts, insurers are working to improve operational efficiencies, meet evolving customer preferences, and align better with the changing business environment. Accordingly, payers must adapt and align business models and offerings. An incisive tactical approach is required to accommodate members’ needs and related emerging risks — medical, health, and environmental. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, analytics, automation, and connected devices are enabling insurers to manage these changes proactively, partner with members, and help to prevent risks, all the while continuing to fulfill payer responsibilities.
Read Top Trends in Health Insurance: 2020 to learn which strategies insurers are adopting to navigate and align with today’s challenges.
Similar to other financial services domains, payments is evolving into an open ecosystem. The EU’s Payment Services Directive (PSD2) pioneered open banking by encouraging banks and established payments players to securely open the systems to foster competition, innovation, and more customer choices. In tandem with non-cash transaction growth, regulations are driving banks and payments firms to expand their array of payment methods and channels. Governments are encouraging financial inclusion by also promoting the adoption of non-cash payments. Increasingly, merchants and corporates seek to offer alternative payment systems because of widespread popularity among consumers. Alternative payments also enable merchants to provide real-time and cross-border payments to boost business efficiency.
Banks, payment firms, card firms, BigTechs, FinTechs, and other players are continuously developing new technology to cash in on market changes. However, data breaches and fraud continue to hinder innovation as firms devote countless resources each year to address security issues. Many governments are also designing new regulations to reduce ecosystem threats. All these measures are expected to make the current ecosystem much more secure and simple for players as well as customers.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the session on the Fastest way to deliver innovative business solutions.
My name is Rick and my co-host is Marieke. We’re both working for Sogeti in the Netherlands.
Sogeti is a global company within the Capgemini group. We’ve about 23.000 employees in 19 countries.
We are market leader in the field of Quality Assurance and testing.
We focus on 4 main area’s; Cloud, IoT, Security and QA and testing.
Within the Capgemini group we are thought leader on these four area’s.
Furthermore, we’re Oracle diamond partner and cloud premier.
Today we’re gonna talk about IoT, obviously. We will introduce the CTTA model and how it can be applied and be beneficial to you and your clients.
Then we will plot the Oracle IoT Cloud Service and cloud family services on the model to show the relationships.
Of course, a model will only get you so far. We will show you how we get from an general idea to a prototype.
So let’s start with IoT. This is the Gatner Hype cycle of emerging technologies. Each new technology will go through this flow before becoming fully adopted.
In 2012 Gartner placed IoT on the renowned Hype cycle in the technology trigger phase, with an expectancy of becoming mainstream in more than 10 years.
In 2016, only 4 years later, IoT has been removed from the hype cycle. Meaning, it is now generally accepted.
However, we see a new term on the technology trigger; IoT Platform. The base on which IoT solutions can be build and deployed.
The expectancy is now a bit shorter, 5 to 10 years. I doubt it will take that long. Recent developments in the cloud and sensors will increase the speed even more. IoT is here already, gaining momentum and is here to stay.
In our own research with PB7, we found that investments in the coming years focus on Software Platforms as well. This confirms that IoT platforms will gain more momentum. Other interesting areas of investments are Integration, connectivity, sensors and process redesign.
But let’s get back to basics first… what is IoT? We hear a lot of defnitions, old ones, new ones. Some say it is not new.
What does it consists of? I’ve mentioned a few things already but I’m curious of your opinions.
We’ve written down a few of our own.
IoT is about sensors, about connecting devices (machine2machine).
It is about logic and rules.
It is about integrating with your backend.
It is about doing something with the data.
There are many buzzwords I just want to show you. They all have something to do with IoT.
They are enabling or are results of IoT.
So I mentioned Actionable insights.. What can you do with IoT?
Again, our research with PB7 shows 6 goals of IoT, with quality improvement as the most important one.
Cost reduction comes second, not far behind. More insights and more customer engagement completes the top 4.
I must mention, it should not add up to 100. The respondents could choose more than 1 option.
So where is the value added? What should you strive to achieve?
The first area is Customer Engagement. IoT can engage you and your customer stronger and more personal.
The second area is Operational Excellence. With insights you can improve your production and processes.
The third, and perhaps most ambitious and most beneficial; Business Transformation. IoT can give you new business models and new markets.
Let’s look at some examples.
The first stream is cutomer engagement. This is the side of IoT we usually hear the most about.
Connected moments and locations
Connected enchanted things
Connected body and health
Enhanced things.
Making ordinary things smart so that they engage the customer to interact. It enriches their lives and make live better in general.
The second stream of IoT is focussed on the optimization of the business process.
This can be either in production facilities or in machines and processes.
Connected workplace
Connected service and production
Connected goods and inventory
Example for this is the delivering of mail. When smart mailboxes are more common, you can check in your package. It has a sensor so the mailman knows there is something for him to pick up. Once picked up, the destination of the package is added to the naviagion system of the mailman, which calculates the smartest way to pick up and delivers packages.
Delivering packages is not only faster this way. But also a lot of money is saved because the mailman doesnt have to come back everytime there is nobody home.
Pakketje slim maken. Proces verbeterd.
The third stream of IoT arizes when companies can make money in a totally different way than they did before, and are able to transform or extend their business model.
For energy companies electric cars are an opportunity. How can they serve customers better? How can they enable customers to utilize their power better and complement or complete the smart grid?
In Holland we worked on a project called smart loading. The power station decided on its own when it was the best time to charge, saving the customer money and recuding the stress on the power grid.
But how to get to such a solution?
Maar hoe gaan we deze doelen nu implementeren?
Termen opzoeken voor iot. We hebben de buzzwords gezien. Sogeti’s opzet is het CTTA model. Connect talk think act.
Sogeti Labs have written a report on the CTTA model, connect - talk - think - act. There is a thing that you want to make smart. A thing you want to collect data from. So you need to connect it. Every thing in itself needs it’s own type of sensor. Some need to be waterproof others need to sustain enormous amounts of pressure. Then you want that data, so you need to talk to it. The communication layer. Ofcourse you want to collect it and do something with it. This is where the Oracle IoT Cloud Service comes in. You connect, analyze and integrate the data. After the thinking you want to do something with the data, the Act part. You can send it to another cloud service, or your own back-end. We’ll discuss this proven method in more detail on the coming slides.
So how this Connect, Service and Extension translate to our model?

From our research we see that most companies get stuck after the connect and talk part. They allready invested in sensors and are integrating them, but fail to gain business value from it. Our advice for to start with IoT: think big, but start small. That is why the ctta model is going to help you define your iot use cases. You can break it up into small pieces and expand those. You can analyse each of the four peices. And check where you already invested in, and focus on the parts you are lagging behind.
A thing is just a thing when it has no extra functionality. A charging station is just a charging station. But what if it could sense more? What if it could save you money? Or make you money?
At first you need a sensor and a method to make it talk. You can use client libraries for your sensor or you can hook you sensor up to a gateway. Like we did with a Raspberry Pi.
Then you “ virtualize” your device so it can talk to the cloud service. It uses JSON messages to send data.
Data flow and json: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/iot/IOTGS/GUID-FBA3B64B-7624-481C-9E2E-2359B05C41F7.htm#IOTGS-GUID-FBA3B64B-7624-481C-9E2E-2359B05C41F7
You got your sensor and gateway up. You told the gateway how to communicate. Via JSON and REST API’s you send the data to the cloud. The device model informs the cloud service how to interact. What type of messages, which attributes, which resources, which software management options are there? You enrich the data flow. It’s high speed, reliable and secure messaging, both ways. In the cloud service you can manage your endpoints and devices. The cloud service can handle high volume streams. Imagine all your things connected, sending data every 30 seconds. Do you want to store that data, all of it? Or do you want to keep just the interesting parts?
Bruggetje beter maken. The next step in the CTTA model is Think. Because we have to make things think about what they have to do with the data. For example, this is an argo floats. Collecting data about the temperature, density and saltyness of the water and water pressure, but also the location of the buoy and what trajectory it traveled. Newer buoys also have sensors for example to measure oxygen. Allready a massive amount of data that one buoy is measuring. But the last time I checked, there were 3822 operating floats! And that amount is increasing with 800 a year. What to do with all the data that is received? First of all, Argo is storing it, for everyone to use. What if i told you that the water is about 5 degrees celcius at 1000 meters depth, it doesn’t really tell you anything. It is interesting to know how however, how the water is changing over time, or right before a storm.
So, in order to generate business value, it is important that we extract the right data.
In the Oracle IoT Cloud
- Data can be filtered or grouped so only a part of the data is stored or used for further analysis. Real time!
Multiple data sources can be combined
Data can be analyzed to detect specific events.
Typical patterns can be recognized real time.
BI CS: more difficult patterns and trends.
ICS: more difficult business rules.
Mobile cs when human interaction in necesarry before the next step can be taken.
Back to the floats: maybe the measurements of movement and temperature of different floats combined can predict a next tsunami coming.
So when we can predict that, we dont want to store the data, or analyse it a bit further, we want to ACT!
Typical patterns can be recognized real time.
Correlate data or alerts from multiple device data streams
Filter and group data.
Specify the time/event-based windows for aggregation functions.
Specify aggregation functions to be used in summaries.
Review incoming events (before you apply the logic) and resulting events (after you apply the logic) in tabular and graph forms
the last step of the CTTA model is probably the step where we gain the most in a business process.
Act is often the starting point of the thinking process. What do we want to DO? Having heard all the possibilities the IoT cloud has to offer, in the last part of the ctta model, we have to narrow it down. We have to ACT.
A nice example is predictive maintenance; this wind turbine might have been measuring how many times it turned and that the temperature dropt over the last hour, and that one of the propellors is starting to oscillate. If this turbine send a message to a mechanic when it sensed something was oscilating, it could have been fixed before it was broken.
One of the actions could be that we want to keep all the data and transfer it to a BI Cloud service for future analysis. When we did a lot of real-time analysis in the think phase, and a specific alert is coming up at an event, this alert could be transferred to the integration cloud service or Mobile cloud service and generate an action.
All explorations made in the stream explorer, are send back to the IoT cloud service and can be published as a REST endpoint. With the right authorization any application can pick it up. Standard provided connections.

What we’ve shown you so far, is that the oracle iot cloud service and its accompanied cloud services have a nice fit on the CTTA model. From our research we see that most companies get stuck after the connect and talk part. They allready invested in sensors and are integrating them, but fail to gain business value from it. Our advice for to start with IoT: think big, but start small. That is why the ctta model is going to help you define your iot use cases. You can break it up into small pieces and expand those.

So how do we know what to build? How does the client know what unused value is out there?
At Sogeti we do several workshops with the client resulting in a proof of concept.
We take several ideas and investigate those further. We investigate the business and technical feasibility. one idea is than chosen and specified, and a demo is built.
To gain more awareness for IoT we had an IoT challenge to tease everyones minds about what is possible with IoT. We have built and are expanding an IoT demo with the oracle IoT Cloud and raspberry pi. And we’ve built a miniature living room where we can test several sensors with different IoT solutions.
