- High-Level Architectures for IoT, Edge Computing and Digital Twins
- IoT relation and impact on 5G and Beyond 5G
- Semantic Interoperability
- Security and privacy in computing continuum
- Collaborations
Activities
High Level Architecture for IoT, Edge Computing and Digital Twins
- IoT & Edge Computing Reference (High Level) Architecture and its mapping with existing IoT & Edge Computing Reference Architectures
- IoT Identification
- Architecture and interfaces for IoT & Edge Computing Data marketplaces, including guidelines for Data Access and Data Sharing and as well guidelines of enhancement of data sharing in support of the Green Deal
IoT & Edge Computing standards framework landscape
- IoT & Edge Computing Landscape maintenance to keep the liaisons alive and maintain dialogue on how to foster collaboration to improve interoperability & security
- IoT & Edge Computing impact on 5G (and beyond 5G)
- Gap analysis and recommendations
- Cooperation with SDOs/Alliances to foster co-creation and interworking
- IoT & Edge Computing standardisation and impact on the Industry Digitization
- IoT & Edge Computing standardisation and impact on the UN SDGs and European Green Deal
- Provide Computing Continuum standardisation requirements on IoT and edge computing and describe enablers, such as optical communications, that can solve these requirements
Semantic Interoperability
- Identification of missing (semantic) interoperability standards and technologies within IoT domains and cross – IoT domains and recommendations for solving them. In addition topics related to the impact of edge computing on semantic Interoperability will be as well taken into account.
- Promoting the use and development of ontologies and semantic tools to enable semantic interoperability between different actors within IoT domains and cross – IoT domains.
- Landscape of ontologies supporting semantic interoperability
Security and Privacy
Privacy:
- GDPR conformance of communications and data storage in an IoT network and in devices
- Careful identification of properties of devices, restriction to absolutely necessary data details, etc.
- Anonymity preservation: considering their different roles in various applications, including AI aspects, transparency in processing, disclosure/transfer control, threat analysis, certification, encryption, best practices for compliance, stakeholder roles/rights/responsibilities, domains: personal tracking (from fitness apps to electronic tickets for public transport, healthcare, smart home), de-personalization of data to safeguard privacy (e.g. when building digital twins)
- Assessment and certification/qualification: threat analysis, certification, best practices for compliance, stakeholder roles/rights/responsibilities for IoT/Edge Computing (e.g. devices, infrastructures, platforms)
- Privacy in complex systems/system of systems (e.g. edge analytic, data spaces, digital twins, AI systems), network, service, resource and data orchestration and decentralisation
Security:
- Cybersecurity assurance of complex system (digital twins, AI systems)
- AI based threat detection and classification
- Security of edge processing
- IoT/Edge computing related to human & infrastructure safety and security in various applications including AI aspectsSecurity and privacy of autonomous vehicles and drones
- Physical security of unattended devices; cybersecurity, security and privacy of verticals (e.g. health, manufacturing, mobility and critical infrastructure)
Deliverables:
- Report on prioritised topics
- Contribution to events
- Input to standardisation process & ongoing projects
