• As follow-up of FP7 specific IoT research and

innovation in the context of H2020 for

developing federating platforms towards a

world of Connected Smart Objects

• Stronger combination of the IoT with Cloud

Computing, Future Internet, Cyber-Physical

Systems and network technologies like 5G

(multiple actors)

• Support of the policy and social dialogue

(including IoT governance) as the Internet of

Things lays the foundation for a “digital

society”

Internet of Things: An important research and

policy element of the European Commission

Internet of Things Cross-Cutting Activity in

Horizon 2020

ICT 30 - Internet of Things and

Platforms for Connected Smart Objects

– Cutting across several LEIT-ICT areas (smart systems integration,

cyber-physical systems, smart networks, big data)

– Bringing together different generic ICT technologies and their stakeholder

constituencies

Smart System integration

ICT 30 – Scope of Research & Innovation Actions

• Architectural concepts and concepts for semantic interoperability

for "Platforms for Connected Smart Objects”

– Dynamically configured infrastructure and integration platforms for covering multiple technologies, multiple devices and heterogeneous integration levels

– Integration of smart devices into self-adaptive, robust, safe, intuitive, affordable and interconnected smart network and service platforms

• Reference implementations, including proof-of-concept, large-scale

demonstrations and validation driven by innovative use scenarios,

e.g. in

– Smart homes, public spaces and context aware commercial environments – Potential use scenarios include health, energy, mobility and commercial

services

• Target is one Co-ordination and Support Action to stimulate the

collaboration between selected projects and between the potential

platforms (including research clusters)

• Providing measures for development of ecosystems around IoT

platforms, e.g.

– Contribution to pre-normative activities / standardisation – development of business models and exploitation strategies – innovation activities which aim at stimulating platform adoption

– Activities to increase societal acceptance and foster specific education – Connecting communities of open API developers for low cost

applications, networking of stakeholders

ICT 30 – Scope of the Coordination / Support Action

Targeted communities

• HW and SW providers, device manufacturers • Integrators and telecoms

• Service providers, industrial and home application providers, creative industries • Research institutes and universities

• Stakeholders from "Internet of Things European Research Cluster" - IERC, Smart cities, Living labs, national IoT initiatives

• Relevant European Technology platforms such as ARTEMIS, EPOSS, EUROP • Web entrepreneurs, makers and geek communities

ICT 30 – Expected impact

• European offer for integrated IoT systems and platforms

• Availability of architectures and methodologies to provide IoT turn key solutions • Dissemination and availability of results for technology adoption and pre-normative

activities e.g. in standardisation fora and bodies like the EIT

• Facilitation of platforms for co-creation of products and services in open innovation ecosystems including all relevant stakeholders.

Do's and Don’t's

• Project size RIA - tentative between 5-8 M€

• Market readiness - exploitation on market should be short to mid-term • End users – will be an asset to involve them in the RIA activities

• Industry partners - essential to drive the use cases

• Evolution of the project during lifetime – e.g. open calls to third parties

• Use cases: more than one expected. They may address cross-sectorial applications. If a vertical value chain is addressed, applicability across multiple application domains should be demonstrated.

• Open platforms: technology and business approaches should allow application developers to produce new added value across multiple systems

• Project size CSA – up to 1 M€

• CSA project ideally covers all aspects in WP text – target: one CSA • Appropriate integration between the CSA and R&I Actions is pivotal

• International partners from developed countries: possible without funding; in line with Rules for Participation

• Social Science and Humanities (SSH) dimension – social aspects such as identity, privacy, reputation, motivations, responsibility, attention, and fairness can be embedded where applicable as well as related creative/artistic methods
