GeoTrust: Geo-aware security protocol for enabling cross-border trustable operations and data exchange in global digital economy
AGP

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: Fondation Hasler

Description du projet : This project aims to create totally innovative and disruptive protocols and algorithms for attending the key needs from Internet of Things and data economy to guarantee the proper data usage; at the same time that we will leverage emerging trends and innovative network architectures (some of them internet agnostic networks such as blockchain) in order to integrate the protocol on top of it. In details, this project objectives are: 1- To develop and deliver innovative protocols and networking methods for enabling secure data exchange that attends existing gaps such as data consumption geo-location and data access control. 2- To set up an empirical validation in a large scale geo-distributed distributed and interconnected testbed such as offered by Fed4FIRE [20-21] and Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC), in order to demonstrate how it works over Internet and also over Internet Agnostic Networks such as emerging blockchain and distributed networks. 3- To create significant evidence of the benefits of the proposed protocols as part of an emerging data economy for the safety data reuse, accountability and trustability via new models that guarantees the satisfaction of rules, contracts and agreements in terms of quantity (accountability), geo-location (legal constraints beyond European Union and Swiss borders), and data usage (data minimization and rights to revoke permissions) that enable and promote new collaboration models driven by users acceptance, compliance with new regulation frameworks, community-driven reputation schemes and integral data management. GEO-TRUST aims moves to solutions that enable a major trust in the opportunities of the data economy, at the same time that protect to users. The expected results and ambition of the project have received the explicit industrial support and interest from Nokia Research Labs in the Internet of Things Unit from United States with a letter of support. Thereby, we expect that GEO-TRUST results could be valorised in the future resulting into a large adoption and market development via Horizon 2020 innovation projects and cooperation with Swiss-based companies via InnoSuisse. Finally, it is remarkable that Switzerland is playing a crucial role in the data economy. In particular, Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) [22] is leading the regulations towards the data economy [23]. Therefore, the innovations from GEO-TRUST are totally aligned with the current and emerging opportunities for the Swiss economy, in order to keep positioning Switzerland as an innovative region in the domain of trust management and reliability.

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : The Smart City paradigm is progressively shaping the way we interact with other citizens, with institutions, as well as the way in which all kind of resources are managed in an urban setting, enabling important efficiency gains. This project aims at addressing one of the main issues related to such paradigm, i.e. the high cost of dedicated sensing, computing and communication infrastructure, which represent one of the main obstacles to the adoption of the Smart City paradigm. We propose the design, prototyping and experimental validation of a platform for nomadic sensing, which exploits the 'moving infrastructure' of a city in order to implement the sensing, computing and communication functionalities required by smart city services, in a cost effective way. Through the proposed project, we aim at addressing all the technical issues related to sensing through a mobile, multi-service platform, through the implementation and evaluation of some representative smart city services. The ultimate goal of the project is to enable a cost-effective 'smart district' paradigm, extending seamlessly from cities to towns and sparse, low density urban agglomerations

Description du projet : La Suisse n'a pas de système de management touristique global. Le projet propose de profiter de la convergence numérique des technologies RFID avec les systèmes touristiques pour proposer une norme d'échange pour les données qui alimenteront un tel système. Pour décrire le contexte du projet, rappelons en entrée que l'Autriche dispose depuis une décennie d'un système de management touristique global (TIS@WEB a reçu un ENTER award en 1995!). Ce dernier fournit des informations stratégiques de management à tous les acteurs de l'industrie du tourisme. Les données sont directement extraites du moteur de réservation (aujourd'hui TISCover) et les principaux indicateurs sont continuellement calculés et mis à disposition. La Suisse ne dispose malgré ses énormes montagnes de données touristiques dix ans plus tard pas encore d'un outil comparable. La problématique Suisse réside dans le fait que nos informations touristiques ne proviennent pas comme en Autriche d'un seul système centralisé. Nous comptons dans notre pays diverses solutions hétérogènes et en parties redondantes qui n'ont jusqu'à présent pas pu être fédérées le long de toute la chaîne de l'information touristique. Les interfaces entre les divers modules ne sont pas fluides, à certains endroits (notamment au check-in dans un hôtel), les informations sont encore transmises sur papier (le fameux « Meldeschein »). Divers instituts se sont intéressés jusqu'à cette date de sous aspects de cette problématique, mais aucun effort fédérateur n'a pu être recensé. Dans notre pays, le management des données touristiques est quelque peu chaotique. Les acteurs de l'industrie du tourisme suisse ne parviennent - livrés à eux-mêmes - pas à résoudre ce problème pour deux raisons majeures : d'un point de vue politique d'abord, la structure fédéraliste des acteurs touristiques suisses fait que les SI sont implémentés et financés de prime abord en fonction d'intérêts régionaux. D'un point de vue informatique ensuite, la complexité des interfaces vers les systèmes existants nécessite l'intervention de spécialistes de fédération de données ' aucune PME ou destination touristique isolée ne pourra financer l'étude et l'implémentation d'un système de management touristique comparable à celui que possèdent nos voisins autrichiens. Le présent projet se donne l'ambition de traduire les dernières évolutions dans les domaines RFID et XML / Services Web en un flux continu d'informations touristiques, d'après l'exemple autrichien. Le projet propose d'étudier la convergence numérique entre les technologies RFID et les différentes phases de l'information touristique et de proposer une norme suisse pour l'intégration de divers systèmes hétérogènes. Les technologies citées ont déjà démontré leur potentiel touristique dans des travaux de diplômes, des études de cas et plusieurs publications réalisées par les chercheurs associés au projet . Afin de répondre à la structure économique du marche touristique suisse (une large majorité de PMEs), la question de l'utilisation de technologies Open Source sera en outre étudié en détail. La démarche proposée consiste dans une substitution des intérêts isolés et des systèmes disparates par une approche intégrative. Pour les données d'hébergement, cette idée sera déclinée à travers les modules « réservation », « check-in », « statistiques », « forecasting », « benchmarking » et « yield management ».

Système d'extension de visites culturelles à domicile
AGP

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: HES-SO Valais-Wallis; HES-SO Rectorat; ARC Economie; HES-SO Valais-Wallis

Description du projet : Aujourd'hui en Suisse, les musées et institutions culturelles ne disposent d'aucune gestion de clientèle (CRM) digne de ce nom. Et s'il arrive parfois qu'un questionnaire soit distribué, le visiteur qui y répond n'y gagne pas d'avantage particulier. Les gestionnaires de ces institutions ne disposent pour ainsi dire d'aucun feedback de la part de leurs visiteurs et ne savent généralement pas quel est leur public type (familles, passionnés, ' )[1]. D'autre part, la grande majorité des institutions disposent de nombreuses informations sur leurs 'uvres et expositions sous forme électronique (bases de données) mais peu les mettent à disposition du public ou de leur client. En bref, une fois sortis, les visiteurs ne gardent et ne laissent aucune trace concrète de leur visite. Pour être performant et s'adapter continuellement à un marché de plus en plus concurrentiel, les institutions culturelles et musées doivent pouvoir être en mesure de connaître leurs clients et leur degré de satisfaction. D'autre part, la valorisation des informations relatives aux 'uvres et expositions peut amener à modifier notre façon de les visiter : en étendant et en personnalisant notre visite une fois de retour à la maison. Il sera également possible d'intégrer ces informations dans la chaine des services touristiques et les SI relatifs, afin que des prestations multiples soient proposées par un seul interlocuteur par destination. Les problématiques soulevées précédemment peuvent être traitées d'une part grâce à une architecture AutoID [2], qui permet d'intégrer et de gérer les informations reçues automatiquement depuis des lecteurs RFID et d'autre part, par l'intégration possible avec les SI touristiques afin d'élargir la chaîne des services culturels et touristiques, qui y sont souvent liés.

Summary:

Microgrids present the challenge to reach a proper balance between local production and consumption, in order to reduce the usage of energy from external sources. This work presents a data-intensive solution to predict the energy behaviors. Thereby, control actions can be carried out such as decrease heating systems levels and switch of low-priority devices. For this purpose, this work has deployed an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) based on the Internet of Things (IoT) in the Techno-Pole testbed. This deployment provides the data from energy-related parameters such as load curves of the overall building through Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), a wireless network of IoT-based smart meters to measure and control appliances, and finally the generated power curve by 2000 square meters of photovoltaic panels. The prediction model proposed is based on recognition of electrical signatures. These electrical signatures have been used to detect complex usage patterns. The modelled patterns have allowed to identify the work day of the week, and predict the load and generation curves for 15 minutes with accuracy over the 90%. This short-term prediction allows one to carry out the proper actions in order to balance the microgrid status (i.e., get a proper balance between production and consumption with respect to worked requirements).

Summary:

Data models and semantics are a key aspect for the valorization of data in cross-domain applications and to obtain knowledge/insights beyond the original applications (vertical use cases). An important role of Big Data and a key fundament of its success is this capacity to discover and extract new knowledge beyond the original use of data, in order to learn, optimize processes and understand the hidden rules of our world. This works presents the different data models from standardization bodies such as IEEE PAR2530, ITU-T FG DPM, ETSI ISG CIM and oneM2M, W3C SSN, OMA LwM2M etc. An analysis and comparative among all of them and also the opportunities to link them in order to guarantee that we can obtain the major value through co-operation among cities and different departments. This work is contextualized in the principles from the Open and Agile Smart Cites (OASC) and linked initiatives focused on data management cross-cities and large scale pilots.

Summary:

The Smart City paradigm is progressively shaping the way we inter-act with other citizens, with institutions, as well as the way in which all kind of resources are managed in an urban setting. However, the high cost of dedicated sensing, computing and communication infrastructure, represents one of the main obstacles to the adoption of the Smart City paradigm in small cities and large, dis-tributed districts, where resides the vast majority of the world population. In this paper we present a first implementation of a platform for nomadic sensing, which exploits the moving infrastructure of a city in order to implement the sensing, computing and communication functionalities required by smart city services, in a cost-effective way. This paper describes the architecture of the NOSE system, and the main lessons learned during the first steps of its implementation, deploy-ment, and experimental validation. In particular, we show that the main technical challenges are due to the lack of devices conceived for reliable mobile operation (sensing, computing) and to the difficulty in achieving high levels of accuracy in measurements while moving.

Integration in the Internet of Things :
Book chapter ArODES
a semantic middleware approach to seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies

Alex Carmine Olivieri, Gianluca Rizzo, Yann Bocchi

Pervasive computing: next generation platforms for intelligent data collection  (pp. 97-128). 2016,  Amsterdam : Elsevier

Link to the publication

Summary:

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens a wide spectrum of interesting opportunities for the creation of novel scenarios. By incorporating communication devices such as sensors and actuators, into mainstream technologies, IoT enables a whole set of new services in almost any domain to be provided, from building automation to Smart City, E-Health, and assistive technologies, to name just a few. Nevertheless, the integration of different protocols and technologies remain to date one of the main challenges in IoT. The proposed solutions have evolved following the heterogeneity increment of the technologies employed for complex scenarios, passing from ad hoc solutions on a per-connection basis (N-to-N), to solutions that use frameworks as middleware (N-to-1). N-to-1 solutions that have shown interesting features use frameworks modeled on the Publish/Subscribe (P/S) design pattern. This type of framework provides facilities to manage the exchange of communications in the presence of a large number of heterogeneous communication technologies. However, how to efficiently interface those technologies with a common framework still remains an open issue. In this work we propose to surround a P/S framework with a layer that allows us to easily interface the various communication technologies with the framework. We describe how to model this layer, and we show how to implement simple adaptors that can be used to interface a technology with the selected P/S framework. We show how our approach makes the integration of heterogeneous technologies easier and how it enables scenarios’ reconfigurations even at run time. By using such an approach, designers can focus on the business logic of the scenario rather than on the low-level technological details of the integration. We inform the reader about the lessons learned throughout the realization of the proposed approach and about the tasks that we found more challenging in making the final system; by doing so we intend to inculcate in the reader some questions that could lead to some interesting future research in order to address some challenges that remain open.

An analysis of context-aware data models for smart cities :
Conference ArODES
towards FIWARE and ETSI CIM emerging data model

Antonio Jara, Yann Bocchi, David Fernandez, German Molina, Andrea Gomez

Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities

Link to the conference

Summary:

Smart Cities requires the support of context-aware and enriched semantic descriptions to support a scalable and cross-domain develop-ment of smart applications. For example, nowadays general purpose sensors such as crowd monitoring (counting people in an area), environmental information (pollution, air quality, temperature, humidity, noise) etc. can be used in multiple solutions with different objectives. For that reason, a data model that offers advanced capabilities for the description of context is required. This paper presents an overview of the available technologies for this purpose and how it is being addressed by the Open and Agile Smart Cities principles and FIWARE platform through the data models defined by the ETSI ISG Context Information Management (ETSI CIM).

Proceedings of the IEEE 2nd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT) 2015

Link to the conference

Summary:

This article presents a methodology based on design thinking and user experience design methods for creating what we call `people-aware' IoT applications, where user needs, not technological opportunities, drive the development. This methodology is divided into 7 steps: discovery, capturing, research, design, prototype, evaluate and refine. The tools used include conventional user experience procedures such as problem identification, group brainstorming, surveys, or interviews, mixed with more IoT-specific design specificities. The results of the methodology include well-described and user-oriented scenarios meeting user's needs and also a complete toolbox to assist the implementation and the testing of abovementioned scenarios in an IoT perspective. The article describes the methodology in detail with the help of a use case conducted in a business environment available for the project that leads to the identification and partial design of concrete people-aware IoT applications in the context of a smart meeting room.

Big data in smart cities :
Conference ArODES
from poisson to human dynamics

Antonio Jara, Dominique Genoud, Yann Bocchi

Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops 2014

Link to the conference

Summary:

Big Data is conceived as the powerful tool to exploit all the potential of the Internet of Things and the Smart Cities. Historically several of the human-related behaviours have been modelled with Poisson distribution, but a new dimension of understanding about the human behaviours is reached through all the gathered data in the emerging smart environment. This work analyses the data from the European Project SmartSantander. This work has correlated the traffic behaviour with respect to the temperature in the Santander City. This has been presented as the evolution of both flows present a similar behaviour. The traffic distribution, aggregated by temperature bins, follows up a Poisson distribution model. Thereby, allowing interpolate and predict complex behaviours based on simple measures such as the temperature. At the same time, this data presents a burst behaviour (human dynamics), when the data is analysed in sequence, instead of aggregated by temperature bins. Therefore, this work concludes that human-related behaviours can be described with both, Poisson and Human Dynamics distribution, depending on how the data is represented and aggregated.

Proceedings of International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems 2014

Link to the conference

Summary:

The potential of the artificial intelligence, data mining and the so-called Big Data to build solutions based on the understanding of human behaviours is being extended with the capabilities of the Future Internet and the Internet of Things (IoT). The described potential of data and networks have been analyzed by the complex network theory, offering a specialized branch, the defined as Human Dynamics. The goal with the Internet of Things in the social area is to describe in real-time the human behaviours and activities. These goals are starting to be feasible through the quantity of data provided by the personal devices such as smart phone, and the smart environments such as Smart cities that makes more intelligent the environment and offer a smart space that sense our movements, actions, and the evolution of the ecosystem. This work analyses the ecosystem defined through the triangle formed by Big Data, Smart Cities and Personal/Wearable Computing to determinate human behaviours and human dynamics. For this purpose, the life-cycle of human dynamics determinations in Smart Cities have been analysed in order to determinate the current status of the technology, challenges, and opportunities.

Summary:

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) covers from M2M and Internet of Things (IoT) communications, heterogeneous data integration from multiple sources, security / privacy and its integration into the cloud computing and Big Data platforms. The integration of Big Data into CPS solutions presents several challenges and opportunities. Big Data for CPS is not suitable with conventional solutions based on offline or batch processing. The interconnection with the real-world, in industrial and critical environments, requires reaction in real-time. Therefore, real-time will be a vertical requirement from communication to Big Data analytics. Big Data for CPS requires on the one hand, real-time streams processing for real-time control, and on the other hand, batch processing for modeling and behaviors learning. This paper describes the existing solutions and the pending challenges, providing some guidelines to address the challenges.
