1 1 AIOTI Phase 2:Some ideas Stephen Pattison ARM
2 What is AIOTI for? Part of the problem is that different groups want different things from AIOTI. Some of the objectives are : Encouraging a European IoT Ecosystem and stimulate innovation ‘Match making’ - bringing together companies (and others) to explore common interests Designing the framework for the Large Scale Pilots Providing (for SMEs) a way of exploring European Funding Promoting convergence on IoT technical Standards Examining policy issues which might delay the take up of IoT
3 The Challenge Is to devise an arrangements for AIOTI Phase 2 which satisfies all these demands. Otherwise interest will disappear.
4 The Prospects are Good Companies want AIOTI to continue Some policy, standards and innovation issues remain unresolved Although there will be less work on designing Large Scale Pilots, AIOTI could play a continued role monitoring how they how they address the challenges identified in Phase One Once the LSPs are agreed, there may be fewer opportunities outside for SMEs to access direct funding. But they will stay if there is a chance of contacts/business The policy, standards and innovation issues remain unsolved
5 A New Structure might help Proposal: Five Work Streams (working groups): (i) Policy and Business Models (ii) Innovation (iii) Standards (iv) LSPs (v) Stakeholder outreach
6 Work Stream on Policy and Business Models: Will look at the issues identified in the policy Group phase one, including Data Protection/Privacy Data Security Interoperability Business Models An IoT Narrative addressing concerns eg around jobs The core group for this stream would be the Phase One Policy Working Group
7 Work Stream on Innovation Will look at : As in current group, advice to inform future Horizon programmes Promoting New technologies The core group for this stream would be the IERC/Phase one Innovation Group.
8 Work Stream on Standards As proposed in Phase One, this will continue to look at promoting standards convergence The core group for this stream would be the Phase One Working Group 3 on Standards
9 Work Stream on LSPs This will focus on: Drawing up KPIs for the LSP Monitoring progress of LSPs Including monitoring SME engagement and making recommendation where necessary Coherence across LSPs It could have subgroups drawn from the Phase One Working groups.
10 Work Stream on Stakeholder Outreach This will focus on: Identifying a wider range of stakeholders, outside traditional tech businesses/universities etc To include (i) user groups, in eg health sector, (ii) infrastructure providers for eg connected cars,(iii) transport companies for eg smart cities (iv) insurance companies for data/safety based business strategies Bringing those groups together with tech companies etc to explore ways of working together to deliver IoT successfully A new Core Group would be required for this Stream, maybe composed of representatives of Phase One Working Groups.
11 All Streams Will not work in silos Will actively develop connections with other groups ( particularly important for the stakeholder group)
12 Deliverables Each Stream’s Terms of Reference ( very short) would be set by the AIOTI Board Each Stream would draw up its own milestones for 2016 and beyond Each Stream would report back to the AIOTI Board
13 Thoughts on Formalisation AIOTI Phase one has demonstrated that groups will organise themselves to deliver So maybe we don’t need a Secretariat? If not why have a financial subscription? If one is needed, it should be minimal.
