Internet of Things (1/3)
• Heterogeneous devices/objects such as RFID, smart
cards, sensors, actuators, …
• Machine to machine (M2M) term is used instead of
IoT. However, M2M is a subset of IoT.
• Standardization activities in the ETSI conducted by
ETSI TC M2M.
– Smart metering.
– E-Health.
• New Long Term Evolution (LTE) profile, fitting M2M
requirements, under discussion.


• ITU-T work on ubiquitous sensor networks (USN)


• Plethora of heterogeneous devices accessing to the
NGN backbone through a plethora of access
networks.
• IoT architecture definition encompassing:
– Protocols and interfaces
– Services
• European projects to monitor at time being:
– IoT-A (Internet of Things Architecture; IP)
– IoT-i (Internet of Things Initiative; CA)
– SmartSantander (IP)
– BUTLER (IP)
– OUTSMART (PPP-FI)

IoT impact on network behavior
• The presence of a huge number of heterogeneous
IoT devices imposes a set of open questions about
the performance of access networks (mainly
wireless).
• It is not yet valid to make an approach just based on
simplified analytical models or simulations.
• A much more ambitious approach is needed.


Looking for a research with true
impact (1/2)
• A lot of Future Internet research has crystallized in
terms of relevant publications, prototypes and
simulations.
• Just as an example: Too many RFCs, some of them
very successful:
– Mobile IPv4 (RFC 3344, Charles Perkins)
– Mobile IPv6 (RFC3775)
– Raptor Codes (RFC 5053)
• However is this enough?


Looking for a research with a true
impact (2/2)
• There is a need to provoke a higher impact.
– Increasing end-user involvement ⇒ Increases social
awareness concerning research
– Prioritizing innovation

• Which are the tools?


Smart cities: The paradise for
living labs
• Smart cities represent a unique ecosystem which fits
the requirements of research driven by innovation.
– End-users (citizens)
– Local authorities and their requirements, constraints,
interests,…
– Service and technology providers (SMEs, companies,…).
– Researchers


SmartSantander and the living labs
• Smart Santander aims at deploying a unique Internet
of Things infrastructure for carrying out experimental
research in the framework of a city
• The infrastructure has to provide support to the
– Research community
– End-users (inhabitants, local authorities,…)
– Service providers
• …and has to be SUSTAINABLE


What is SmartSantander about?
• SmartSantander aims at providing a European experimental test facility for
the research and experimentation of architectures, key enabling
technologies, services and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) in
the context of the smart city.

20.000 IoT devices


Why Smart-Z with Z = Santander?
• Smart Santander was perceived from the very
beginning as a golden opportunity for lining up the
vectors of the value chain:
– Research centers
– Industry, in particular SMEs
– Other agents
• SmartSantander is not only for researchers...
– Smart services for Santander city and citizens
– Traffic management in the city (outdoors parking areas,
traffic monitoring, control loading areas, ...) +
environmental impact


How is SmartSantander becoming
a reality?
• Phased roll-out and deployment:

– SmartSantander tutorial - how to use the platform and
how to apply for funding available to run experiments.
• Lectures: Each day will feature lectures with
subsequent discussions around important IoT
