Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Knowledge Café on Device Technologies The knowledge café on Device Technologies addresses the functional and non-functional research developments of embedded networked devices The trends emerging are moving from RFID tags on objects to more sophisticated devices including sensors, actuators with significant computing power, storage and the capability to network and collaboratively process information

Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Topics to be discussed Manufacturing/Materials –Manufacturing/Materials allowing new levels of embedding and cost reduction Energy (efficiency) –efficient power generation, management and storage Radio –Ultra low power chip design Interoperability (Device) –EPCx/uID/… addressing and Identification are crucial elements; M2M, WSAN, Tags… Identification –ONS Tags/Sensors/Actuators - Specific Functionalities –Localisation, specialised sensor and actuator technologies

Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Device Technologies Outcomes List of Research Priorities: Soft aspects –Identification Problem –Interoperability (SW) –Smart Devices –Radio/Access Technologies Hard aspect –Energy, Processing, Storage –Sensors/Actuators –Radio –Materials/Manufacturing (and Integration into)

Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Smart Devices Issue of Safety/Security Security – data security and device security (lots already discussed) encryption guaranteed system integrity Safety – no malfunctions and adverse effects (little knowhow) coordination of devices rule based system guarantee policy and context aware saftey

Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Radio/Access Technologies Today –Plethora of Access Technologies –Trend of this will continue Incremental –Gateways with multiple access technologies Visionary –Ubiquitous Access – still gateway based, but common interfaces and supported by mesh

Future Internet Assembly: THE REAL WORLD INTERNET Important Lesson Strong relevance of Technology Push –(iPhone example) –Applications driven by availability of functionality (device technology)
