The identification of stakeholders and the listing of IoT products have been intended as key initial steps on which the D2.1 market analysis should be based on so as to provide partners with a clear understanding on the characteristics of the market the intended INTER-IoT products will be serving. These two annexes are a full part of task 2.1 activities. However, in order to enhance clarity and so as to make the D2.1 more easly readable by avoiding overflooding it with too much data in the same document, it has been decided to include the stakeholders’ identification and product description templates in a separate document. Annex A relates to the IoT stakeholders identified by partners, while Annex B contains a description of all the products identified. In line with the clarity objective, so as to enhance the readiblity of the information, the stakeholders’ identification templates have been listed below in Annex A following the INTER- IoT 5 product approach adopted for Task 2.1 (INTER-LAYER, INTER-FW, INTER-METH, INTER- LogP and INTER-Heatlh). The chosen methodology is decribed in the D2.1 report itself, but it is useful to highlight the fact that from an operational standpoint, partners were asked to identify and describe the stakeholders and products they know of when conducting their ordinary business activities, but also to extend this search to elements stemmed from their business networks as well. As a result, a wide variety of stakeholders has been identified, covering different technology sectors of the IoT economy, but also including users in different application domains. The products listed in Annex B also reveal a great diversity that points to a fragmentation analysed in the D2.1 report. The summative information contained in this document constitute annexes to INTER-IoT D2.1, but as the project develops, partners will be asked to provide additional information, using the same identification templates, if ever and whenever new stakeholders or products are encountered in the lifetime of the project. Additional information will be uploaded on the JIRA repository1. Although all the information is available in the JIRA repository and the deliverable contains the summary and detailed study of the information gathered, we have decided to include the templates as an annex with the raw information, in order that readers with no access to JIRA may have the same information. 1 jira.inter-iot.eu 3 / 377 INTER-IoT Deliverable D2.1 ANNEX A STAKEHOLDERS INTER-LAYER Product Name: INTER-LAYER Stakeholder’s Name: Stakeholder’s Acronym: DG CONNECT – EUROPEAN COMMISSION DG CONNECT Stakeholder’s Profile & Role: Profile: DG Connect contributes to the EU goals in the Digital Age: human advancement, fairness, jobs and growth. DG Connect seeks to foster innovation, creativity, culture, excellent research and competitive markets as well as a trustable, accessible and positive digital experience for every European citizen. Role: DG Connect is the sponsor of Inter-IoT as one of the 7 projects approved in the ICT30 call. Contact Person: Email: Position: DG Connect Stakeholder’s Class: ☒ Can appear in public reports ☒ IoT Demand side Political beneficiary ☐ Shall remain anonymous ☐ IoT Supply side Stakeholder’s Needs: DG Connect has established the following needs: • Develop open platforms to foster a vibrant IoT ecosystem. Opening up to developer communities and creative practices. • Break the silos between the application areas (e.g. health, home) and technologies such as IoT, CPS, Cloud, Big Data. • Prepare the ground for Large-scale Pilots. • Not to forget about trust, security, ethics, etc. (IoT preparing the hyper-connected society) It is needed a high impact of the action with: • A visible and strategic programme • Coordination and synergies across projects • Availability and maturing of sustainable IoT platforms based on real ecosystems and developers • Sustainability beyond the project life time • Make progress and not reinvent the wheel The European Commission wants to achieve a leadership in digital platforms for industry. For this, it is needed an availability of interoperable open platforms for any business to support its digital transformation. INTER-FW should be a multisided industry platform, understood as a foundation technology or service that enables a broader, interdependent ecosystem of businesses and requires complementary innovations to be useful, some levels of openness are necessary (i.e. APIs or SDKs) and it is necessary to go through standardization. 4 / 377 INTER-IoT Deliverable D2.1 INTER-IoT needs to create an ecosystem around it and make it a success: • Create test beds for the platform technology • Define the two sides of the market and the core functionality • Attract the best complementors, already in an early stage • Drive the platform adoption. INTER-LAYER should provide the interfaces able to link sensors, tags and smart objects registered in one IoT platform to other IoT platforms, owned by different entities and using different standards. INTER-LAYER will allow the connection of the systems of an IoT solution at various levels between each other and with other existing of future IoT platforms. The need for this product is to get a set of building blocks that enable the transformation of existing sensor, tags and smart objects’ networks into real IoT interoperable solutions. The IoT Interoperability tools need to fill the gaps of these networks that still lack of interoperable IoT functionalities and provide the secure and trusted mechanisms to connect with heterogeneous IoT networks. ☐ Interested in participate in INTER-IoT open calls Existing Products & Systems involved: New products & Systems required: IoT initiatives/platforms (i.e. FI-WARE, IOTA, IOTLab, OpenIoT, BUTLER New Stakeholders Stakeholder’s class AIOTI Special Interest Group IERC Special Interest Group SimbIoTe ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project TagItSmart ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project bIoTope ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project VICINITY ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project AGILE ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project BIG-Iot ICT30 RIA (Research Innovation Action) project BeIOT ICT30 CSA (Coordination & Support Action) project UNIFY-IOT ICT30 CSA (Coordination & Support Action) project Reason of involvement: Identified by: Registration Date: Political beneficiary Valenciaport Foundation 28/01/2016 Needs identified from ICT30 Kick off presentation Product Name: INTER-LAYER Stakeholder’s Name: Stakeholder’s Acronym: ICT30- SymbIoTe SymbloTe 5 / 377 INTER-IoT Deliverable D2.1 Stakeholder’s Profile & Role: Profile: SymbIoTe (Symbiosis of smart objects across IoT environments) is an ICT30 RIA project that intends to create an interoperability framework across existing and future IoT platforms and enables IoT platform cooperation. Role: SymbIoTe’s aim is also to build a framework for interoperability and it is needed a link for collaboration between the two projects to avoid the creation of new silos of interoperability, as it has been requested by the European Commission.
