Introduction

AIOTI and the Smart Cities Working GroupRecommendationsUpcoming activities


The creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem supported by open technologies and platformsOvercoming market fragmentation Fostering entrepreneurship

Preparation of future IoT research as well as innovation and standardisation policiesHelping to shape H2020

Design of IoT Large Scale Pilots

3

AIOTI and WG8 Goals


200+ organizations involved20+ very active participantsComposition:

oMostly supply side (Large IT companies + SMEs)oA few Universities and Technological centersoA few Cities and other demand side organizations

Regular calls and two F2F meetings (June-Lisbon & September-Madrid)

Main focus so far on LSP recommendations

About WG8


a solution that solves a real-existing problem / need [for citizens or users];

assessed as valuable by citizens and communities;scalable to the whole city;demonstrated replicability in other cities and

interoperability in the city;sustainable from environmental, social, economic, and

financial point of view;and able to thrive local economy (SMEs &

entrepreneurs).

5

A successful LSP project


6

Technical Recommendations for Smart CitiesSupport an incremental and scalable deployment of

infrastructures: modular and integrated with existing infrastructure, expandable and pushing intelligence to the edge.

Interoperability of IoT and other services at the data layer, independent of protocols, and agreeing on APIs and models.

Reuse existing open specifications and foster data openness policies.

Enable a configurable privacy and security framework from design, adapted to local legislations.


7

Acceptability Recommendations for Smart Cities Involve all the stakeholders in the testing zone to

guarantee the success of the pilots, engaging with some of them through flexible mechanisms: open calls, challenges, training, etc.

Define common “top” problems in representative cities and city networks and to define feasible, significant and scalable testing zones.

Focus on users’ and citizens’ needs, providing evidence that real problems and needs are tackled in the pilot and validating results through the engagement with users, citizens and communities


8

Business Recommendations for Smart CitiesProvide proof that the business aspect of the proposal

guarantees 3BL impact and the sustainability of the investment beyond the end of the project,

Business plans, describing investment in infrastructures and ownership, considering OPEX and CAPEX, money flows and relationships among the stakeholders network.

Plans for pilot scalability in the city. Innovative business models and collaboration

mechanisms.Social, environmental and financial KPIs.


9

Other Recommendations for Smart CitiesTackle multiple domains or verticals in the city, exploiting

data from existing (sometimes legacy) systems in the city, where IoT can unlock additional context data to enable the required solution.

Test and push the legal boundaries that can hamper the feasibility of certain solutions or technologies in the pilot, even if it is not clear at proposal stage how these issues will be tackled


10

Upcoming activities Dissemination of the recommendations. Many local/specific to

partners events identifies Towards a European Digital Single Market for Smart Cities

High Level Architecture for Smart Cities (including beyond IoT). Identify requirements to be prescribed that would lead to overcome

market segmentation. Identify critical elements that would make it a success (eg. SIMs in GSM)

Check standards and identify gaps and interoperability aspects Roadmap about impacting the market & standards

Involvement of the demand side Maturity model for smart cities from the IoT perspective Involvement of more cities-related organizations (e.g. Nesta). Consider

other non-IT aspects (as governance, scalability, procurement…)
