Internet of Things (1/3)
• Heterogeneous devices/objects such as RFID, smartcards, sensors, actuators, …
• Machine to machine (M2M) term is used instead ofIoT. However, M2M is a subset of IoT.
• Standardization activities in the ETSI conducted byETSI TC M2M.– Smart metering.– E-Health.
• New Long Term Evolution (LTE) profile, fitting M2Mrequirements, under discussion.

Internet of Things (2/3)
• ITU-T work on ubiquitous sensor networks (USN)
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
Internet of Things (3/3)
• Plethora of heterogeneous devices accessing to theNGN backbone through a plethora of accessnetworks.
• 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)
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
IoT impact on network behavior
• The presence of a huge number of heterogeneousIoT devices imposes a set of open questions aboutthe performance of access networks (mainlywireless).
• It is not yet valid to make an approach just based onsimplified analytical models or simulations.
• A much more ambitious approach is needed.
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
Looking for a research with true impact (1/2)
• A lot of Future Internet research has crystallized interms of relevant publications, prototypes andsimulations.
• Just as an example: Too many RFCs, some of themvery successful:– Mobile IPv4 (RFC 3344, Charles Perkins)– Mobile IPv6 (RFC3775)– Raptor Codes (RFC 5053)
• However is this enough?
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
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?
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
Smart cities: The paradise forliving labs
• Smart cities represent a unique ecosystem which fitsthe requirements of research driven by innovation.– End-users (citizens)– Local authorities and their requirements, constraints,
interests,…– Service and technology providers (SMEs, companies,…).– Researchers
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
SmartSantander and the living labs
• Smart Santander aims at deploying a unique Internetof Things infrastructure for carrying out experimentalresearch 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
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
What is SmartSantander about?
• SmartSantander aims at providing a European experimental test facility forthe research and experimentation of architectures, key enablingtechnologies, services and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) inthe context of the smart city.
20.000 IoT devices

Why Smart-Z with Z = Santander?
• Smart Santander was perceived from the verybeginning as a golden opportunity for lining up thevectors 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
Course on Smart Cities and Innovation in Services UIMP, August 2011
