Session II.3 Internet of Things and the Future Internet

• Protocols: Presentation of some of the crucial design issues from the requirements and constraints which are presented from the hardware level.

          o How technologies and protocols deal with some of the challenges (e.g. mobility protocols)?

• Services: Design issues and considerations for service deployment in real applications.

          o Web of Things and Restful for the services based on Web?
          o How are being defined the business models and accountability of the services?
          o Example of a real application such as e-Health or smart grid of the Internet of Things, and the design issues considered for them.
          o How could be applied the IoT for dissemination of the information?, could the ubiquity of the IoT be the next medium to reach                    the citizens?, how should be the policy and regulations of this in order respect user privacy and not to annoy with the excess of                   information and advertising.

Panel 2. IoT/FI privacy, security & trust:

• Considerations for the Future Internet architecture for the privacy and security management in the Internet of Things.

          o How clean state architectures for the Future Internet envision the IoT integration and the management of privacy and security?

• Assuring a trusted, private, secure, fault-tolerant IoT infrastructure.

          o How to achieve this goal, having in mind the heterogeneity of the IoT and other non-technological factors (e.g. EU policies)?
          o How to efficiently integrate the different security solutions with the FI architecture?
          o What fundamental limitations and IoT specific requirements must be considered?

• How should the "gateways" and "border or edge routers" be involved in those communications.

          o What tasks should be carried out by them?
          o How will it affect privacy when delegating the trust to the gateways?
          o What about the scalability when all the communications to an edge network based on e.g. 6LoWPAN need a pre-process and
             post-process from the Border Router?

• Methods for validating security requirements against architectural solutions.

          o How are considered solutions such as a “Security officer” role within IoT-A?

• Impact of the security to other issues and challenges from the Internet of Things such as interoperability, scalability, discovery of things, accountability, and manageability.

          o How affect/impact the security to these issues?

• Policy related actions and new regulations addressing the new issues of the IoT
  
  

  o Relationship between existing IoT-specific EU regulations and technological advances. Are IoT policies too far ahead of
     technology/research?
  o How could the EU make awareness to the citizens about the new security aspects, privacy issues and considerations for the new
      generation of communications based on the IoT.
  o Which regulations should be defined/refined in order to solve the mentioned security aspects?
