Project overview and
1st Open Call summary
symbIoTe
Sergios Soursos, Intracom SA Telecom Solutions
Project Manager

• IoT platforms offer vertical solutions, closed silos
– focusing in one domain
• Absence of cross-domain apps
– life is multi-dimensional
– partnerships sought
• Collocated platforms
– multiple installations
– increased costs
• Maintenance of e2e solutions
– high market entry barrier
– will a single standard/technology/protocol prevail?
• End users
– vendor lock-in
– multiple apps
IoT Landscape & Motivation

• symbiosis of smart objects across IoT environments
• interoperability and mediation framework
• aims at the collaboration of vertical IoT platforms
towards the creation of cross-domain applications
The symbIoTe Approach
Smart Residence
EduCampus
Smart Stadium
Smart Mobility and
Ecological Routing
Smart Yachting

symbIoTe in a Nutshell
• not yet another IoT platform
• a middleware that offers a unified way for
– exposing of IoT resources to third party applications
– sharing IoT resources between federation members
– trusted discovery and secure access to IoT resources
– flexible integration of smart space infrastructure
– does not interfere with the actual data exchange
• addresses the needs of
– developers for rapid cross-platform application
development
– small IoT platform providers for optimal collaboration and
cooperation on top of the available often fallow resources
– SMEs for overcoming IoT market barriers

• How can platforms monetize the value of their
resources?  new revenue streams!
• How can 3rd parties use the offered resources?

• IoT solution providers
– SMEs, startups, companies, research institutes
– w/ deployed IoT platforms
– active in Smart Home/Building and Smart Cities
• 3 important questions
– What resources can you open to 3rd parties?
– How 3rd parties can use your resources?
– What value will the 3rd parties make out of your
resources?
What are we looking for?

• Decide what resources to open
• Provide information model of resources
• Extend Interworking API
– use generic components, and
– implement platform specific components
• Proof-of-concept showcase
– together with symbIoTe consortium
– advertise own resources
– make them discoverable through Core Services
What will you have to do?

• For symbIoTe
– enrich the portfolio of symbIoTe-enabled
platforms
– receive feedback on designed solution
– build the foundations for the 2nd Open Call
• For applicants
– investigate what resources you could open to 3rd
parties
– see what value you can get out of it
– ease the partnerships with other platforms
Objectives

Technical Approach for
Level 1 Compliance
symbIoTe
Ivana Podnar Žarko, University of Zagreb
Technical Manager

Level 1 compliance (L1)
• symbIoTe: intermediary between IoT platforms and
applications
– facilitates cross-platform app development
– syntactic: interoperability at the protocol level
– semantic: interoperability at the data level
• Create cooperative IoT platforms
– IoT platforms open up access to their devices (exposed as
services) in a controlled and secure manner
• Enable devices to understand each other
– apps need to understand platform offerings/virtualized
devices (to a certain extent) to interact with them
Technical Aspects

• Mobile app as a remote control to switch
on/off the lights at home, in the office, in
public spaces…
– today we need 3 apps
for this, one for each
platform

To make a platform Level 1 compliant:
• Analyze the symbIoTe Core Information Model
(CIM) and symbIoTe components on the platform
side
• Align your platform-specific information model
with the CIM
– Use JSON if CIM is sufficient for your needs
• Integrate the Interworking Interface and four
symbIoTe components with your platform
– plugins for closed platforms will not be published as
open source
• Provide feedback and comments to improve and
simplify the process of creating L1 platforms
How to create a L1 platform?

• A documented design and prototype implementation
of the symbIoTe Core Services
• A documented Interworking Interface and Java
implementation of the four components on the
platform side
• An example procedure for aligning an existing
information model to the symbIoTe CIM
• A documented example explaining the process for
creating a L1 platform based on the example of the
open-source OpenIoT platform
What do we offer?
