Why IoT needs Open Source Communities

Editor's Notes

• #2: Bonjour Il y une quinzaine d’année, je travaillais en Java sur des systèmes embarqués. A l’époque la seule chose qui nous préoccupait était de s’assurer que l’OS sur lequel on aller tourner supporter notre VM Java. A partir de là, il nous était facile de déployer nos solutions. Il y avait peut de connectivité: une connexion GPS et, dans le meilleurs des cas, une connexion GSM pour renvoyer des data régulièrement vers un serveur. En terme de standard, comme je travaillais sur les plateformes multimédias automobile, il n’y en avait pas vraiment. Certain d’entre nous interagissaient avec les CAN BUS mais comme simple moyen pour faire communiquer 2 microprocesseurs. Rien de plus. A oui, il y avait 2/3 gars qui bossaient sur un protocole IBM propriétaire qui s’appelait Websphere MQ(TT) pour faire du message queuing avec SOA.
• #7: A developer community will do a number of things for the technology: Increase the usefulness of the technology through add-ons, applications, and information resources. Source of innovation of how the technology can be used and applied.
• #14: - Publish–subscribe pattern
• #17: ? Confirm that WG started in 2009 (or 2013)? -
• #22: In fact the complexity can be viewed from the typical IoT architecture. 1) you have to deal with different types of devices that may have different hardware platforms, operating systems, software stacks. 2) these devices typically connect to some type of IoT gateway that is responsible for managing the devices and connecting them to the Internet, 3) the gateways and some devices will need to have some type of network connectivity, either Wifi, mobile, satellite, and 4) the IoT application needs to integrate with the existing enterprise and backend system, ex. Databases, CRM, ERP, etc.
• #23: The Krikkit Eclipse project provides an API through a software library that will enable a user or developer to 'program' IoT edge devices such as sensor gateways and make it easy to acquire and manage data. Vorto is an open source tool that allows to create and manage technology agnostic, abstract device descriptions, so called information models. Information models describe the attributes and the capabilities of real world devices. These information models can be managed and shared within the Vorto Information Model Repository. Code Generators for Information Models let you integrate devices into different platforms. EclipseSCADA provides a state of the art open source SCADA system. Simply speaking the primary target of Eclipse SCADA is a way to connect different industrial devices to a common communication system and post-process as well as visualize the data to operating personnel. Leshan provides libraries that help people develop their own Lightweight M2M server and client. OMA Lightweight M2M server and client in Java Californium is a powerful CoAP framework targetting back-end services and stronger Internet of Things devices. It provides a convenient API for RESTful Web services that support all of CoAP's features. 4DIAC provides an industrial-grade open source infrastructurefor distributed industrial process measurement and control systemsbased on the IEC 61499 standard. IEC 61499 defines a domain specific modeling language for developing distributed industrial control solutions. The Eclipse OM2M project, initiated by LAAS-CNRS, is an open source implementation of oneM2M and SmartM2M standard. It provides a horizontal M2M service platform for developing services independently of the underlying network, with the aim to facilitate the deployment of vertical applications and heterogeneous devices.
• #30: Pilot #1: - Handle different types of data and sources - Cloud platforms / services from application providers - Data sharing of raw and processed data with other users - Security Pilot #2: - API for Data Presentation - VPN Tunnelling - Encrypted data link - Encrypted onboard storage - Data should be accessible trough an authenticated cloud service Pilot #3: - Air quality and pollution monitoring Pilot #4: - Enhanced Retail Services
