7. 7 © 2015 VITAL Consortium  Contains all VITAL-related nodes  There is one node for each piece of functionality that each one of the integrated components provides VITAL City Applications Development Tool

8. © 2016 VITAL Consortium 8 VITAL Validating Use Cases ScenarioScopeCity Smart Working Patterns -Urban Regeneration - Use IoT to connect supply chain to smart retail, smart services, smart logistics London Smart Traffic Management -Smarter Services- Improve Environmental Performance and optimize the efficiency of the transport network Istanbul

9. © 2016 VITAL Consortium 9 VITAL Added-Value  Integrated cross-platform and cross-context approach to the development & deployment of IoT applications in smart cities  Added-value intermediary (proxy) between all different IoT deployments and systems in the smart city  Provides access to cached, aggregated, integrated data (Data-as-a-Service)  Open Source Solution targeting Smaller Cities (e.g., ~ up to 200.000 inhabitants) which cannot afford the Cost of Enterprise Scale Solutions from giant vendors

10. © 2016 VITAL Consortium 10 VITAL Benefits for Stakeholders For Developers Single Set of interfaces for leveraging data and services from multiple systems & providers Visual Tools for rapid application development For City Authorities Integrated Management of IoT platforms and Services (Single Entry Point) Management Applications for FCAPS administration and flexible configuration of platforms For Citizens Integrated Cross Context Applications Wider Application Opportunities Disclaimer: Not Direct Target of VITAL

11. © 2016 VITAL Consortium 11 Lessons Learnt  Semantic Interoperability across different city systems is essential for Integrated Management/Monitoring applications. However: o It comes at a cost (performance penalty, integration costs). o It is a long-term strategic commitment: ALL systems have to comply with the integration architecture (including future ones)  A great deal of the added-value lies in IoT Analytics: o In most cases IoT has to leverage data sources as well o Tools and techniques for IoT analytics are still in their infancy  Open Source solutions (like VITAL) can be appealing for smaller cities that cannot afford the adoption of large scale enterprise solutions

12. © 2016 VITAL Consortium 12 Conclusions  VITAL introduces a new integrated cross-platform and cross-context approach to the development & deployment of IoT applications in smart cities  It is an added-value intermediary, which provides distinct benefits for developers and city authorities  VITAL is a first (sound) step towards the wider vision of integrated development, management and governance of smart city services across areas such as energy, transport, urban mobility, security and ICT 12
