Brain-IoT focuses on complex scenarios,
involving smart autonomous actuation
and characterized by stricter requirements
in terms of dependability, security,
privacy and safety constraints, resulting
in convergence between heterogeneous
IoT Platforms and Cyber Physical
Systems (CPS).

4. PROJECT FOCUS - OPEN ISSUES IN IOT DOMAIN

Bruxelles, 20/03/2018CLUSTER WORKSHOP
HETEROGENEITY AND (LACK OF) INTEROPERABILITY
Heterogeneity of standard protocols, APIs, device models
and data interchange formats hamper interoperability in IoT.
SECURITY AND SAFETY
Autonomous actuation in IoT systems calls for stricter
security requirements.
Many IoT-based products are implemented with low
awareness of potential security risks and lack of basic state-
of-the-art security mechanisms.
BUSINESS MODELS COLLIDING WITH LONG-TERM
RESILIENCE AND SURVIVABILITY OF IOT SERVICES
Many IoT solutions on the market adopt fully centralized,
cloud-oriented approaches but singular point of failures
makes survivability and resiliency features difficult to be
granted in the long term.
IMPLEMENTING “SMART BEHAVIOURS” IN OPEN
COLLABORATION CONTEXT
Difficulty to generically “bind” AI and ML solutions to
general-purpose concrete IoT and CPS platforms and to
make them collaborate together for common tasks.
ENFORCEMENT OF PRIVACY AND DATA
OWNERSHIP POLICIES
A comprehensive solution able to give back control of
privacy aspects to users is still missing.
MARKET FRAGMENTATION AND INCUMBENCY OF
LARGE PLAYERS
IoT platforms focused on specific application domain or
associated with technology stacks.
Market segments such as cloud-based IoT platforms are
dominated by few, often non-EU, players, which hamper the
potential business opportunities for EU companies.

OBJECTIVES
• Fully de-centralized,
composable and dynamic
federations of heterogeneous
IoT platforms.
• Adoption of shared semantic
models, dynamically linked to
concrete IoT devices (sensors,
actuators, controls, etc.).
• Facilitates the deployment of
smart cooperative behavior
realized by means of modular
Artificial Intelligence features
which can be dynamically
deployed to heterogeneous
IoT devices in mixed
edge/cloud IoT environments.
• To establish Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting
(AAA) in dynamic, distributed
IoT scenarios.
• Solutions to embed privacy-
awareness and privacy control
features in IoT solutions.
• Dynamic commissioning and
reconfiguration choosing
among available platforms,
modules implementations and
services, along with edge-
cloud balancing.
• Dynamic configuration of the
IoT component deployment
between edge and cloud.

The viability of the proposed approaches is demonstrated in two futuristic usage
scenarios, namely Service Robotics and Critical Infrastructure Management, as well as
through a series of proof-of-concept demonstrations in collaboration with on-going IoT
large-scale pilot initiatives.
SCENARIOS
The Service Robotics use case will involve
several robotic platforms, like the open-
source Robotics Operating System (ROS),
which need to collaborate to scan a given
warehouse and to assist humans in a
logistics domain.
The Critical Water Infrastructure
Monitoring and Control use case focuses
on the management of the water urban
cycle in metropolitan environment of
Coruña.
In addition to the first two usage
scenarios, few other scenarios will be
derived creating a link with European IoT
Large Scale Pilots where BRAIN-IoT
partners are involved in.

➢ Identification of security and privacy functionalities and requirements of common
interest.
➢ Promoting the adoption of interoperable solutions – possibly supporting preliminary
steps towards standardization endeavours.
➢ Sharing outcome of the analysis on blockchain technologies also through the
organization of workshops.
➢ Sharing knowledge for the full understanding of the current EU regulations in terms of
privacy and security (General Data Protection Regulation).
➢ Sharing outcome of risks analysis to build a complete list of threats and
vulnerabilities on IoT systems in order to accelerate future risk analysis on IoT
environments.
