Bringing Intelligence to IoT Devices - Challenges Faced and Soletta Approach - Otavio Busatto Pontes, Intel OTC

Today daily objects are becoming connected devices that gather tons of data. The collected data brings little benefits to users, because the devices are programmed to do specific tasks. In order to provide better features, some devices sends the user data to be processed in the cloud. However this won't work in environments with Internet restrictions and can also lead to privacy problems.

The answer for this problem is to have machine learning algorithms running locally. Small IoT devices could delegate the processing to other, more capable, IoT devices in the same environment and under user's control. This way, users will have benefits, without sharing their precious data with third parties.

In this talk we will propose two solutions using Linux and open source libs for fuzzy, neural networks and IoT. We will also compare results, analyze memory and expose its strengths and weaknesses

The Impact of IPv6 and the IoT on Smart Home Technology - Corey Gates, Icontrol Networks

GSMA Intelligence indicates that there are now more connected devices on the planet than there are IPv4 addresses to assign to them, and the IoT brings more and more devices that need to be connected every day. While it is true that most home networks are still IPv4, it will be increasingly difficult to obtain a dedicated server IPv4 address. It is now critical that companies transition to IPv6 in order to support the continuous influx of connected devices within the smart home industry.

While the transition to IPv6 addresses has been occurring, any developer involved in building connected devices should think about how they will connect them to the Internet. In this presentation, Corey Gates will provide insights on how developers can approach this transition.

An IoT OS Security Architecture That is so Boring That You Can Sleep Soundly at Night - Ismo Puustinen, Intel Germany

Security of a product only becomes exciting when it fails: consumers start worrying whether their private data was exposed and vendors are (hopefully) scrambling to publish fixes. This talk presents the system and security architecture of a new, upcoming Yocto-based IoT OS that tries to avoid that by providing a base OS that protects against a variety of threats out-of-the-box so that vendors can focus on developing their value-add applications and appliances. In particular network and offline attacks are addressed, because devices will be deployed in hostile environments where neither the network nor people with physical access to the hardware can be trusted.

At the same time it is understood that not all devices are alike. Therefore the OS offers what we call “scalable security”: several different techniques are integrated and can be chosen when building images.

Mist Computing - Going Beyond the Fog - Jurgo Preden, Thinnect

For many people IoT is an extension of the Internet and they expect that the protocols and methods that we have become used to are applicable in this new domain. However, the reality is that the available bandwidth and memory sizes are a 1000 times smaller in IoT edge devices when compared to even embedded Linux computers. Because of the extreme resource constraints the approach to 'dumb down' the edge devices (e.g., embedded sensors) and contain the intelligence in the gateway or cloud does not work as inefficient use of bandwidth limits the utility of such solutions.
Bringing intelligence to the edge of the network with Mist Computing by enabling high level rule interpretation and highly efficient service based architecture in a battery powered low-bandwidth network makes it possible to realize the full potential of these network.

Embedded Programming for IoT - John Light, Intel OTC

Many Internet of Things (IoT) nodes will be built for highly constrained computing environments by developers with little knowledge of the hard won lessons of the embedded programming discipline. Without the benefit of these lessons, some IoT projects may fail in spite of being well architected and coded. The explosive growth of IoT means new developers are being drawn into IoT who may not be aware of what they are missing. Embedded developers often don't realize what new developers are missing, so they don't share. I intend to bridge that gap by starting a discussion of embedded software understanding like heap fragmentation and techniques like heap, stack, and thread management in order to encourage the flow of information between the groups. I'll show you how to let an application live forever and the reasons it might not.

6LoWPAN: An Open IoT Networking Protocol - Stefan Schmidt, Samsung

6LoWPAN: An Open IoT Networking Protocol (Stefan Schmidt)-
With the raising importance of the Internet of Things (IoT), suitable networking protocols are getting their needed attention. For some IoT scenarios a normal TCP/IP networking stack might be perfectly fine but for small, maybe battery powered, devices with limited wireless functionality this might be to much of an overhead already.
On the other hand one would like to build up on the already existing and reality-proven TCP/IP networking code driving the internet. By specifying an IPv6 adaptation layer and various compression techniques 6LoWPAN allowed the usage of IPv6 networking even on tiny IoT devices, such as sensors. While 6LoWPAN started out as an adaptation layer for IEEE 802.15.4 based networks it is now also used in Bluetooth LE and work is ongoing to adopt it for other technologies like NFC, DECT/ULE, power-line, etc.

Linux and Real-Time Java for IoT - Randy Rorden, PTC Inc.

The Linux OS has been steadily displacing Real-Time Operating Systems on embedded devices for the past decade. Now Linux has become the de-facto OS of intelligent “edge” devices in the Internet of Things. The combination of low cost, reliability and availability of software and drivers makes Linux a smart choice for IoT startups and established vendors alike. The Java language further reduces time to market and increases reliability and the OSGi framework adds software components and over-the-network updates. A Linux+Java+OSGi software stack is a compelling solution for many IoT products, but it faces some challenges. An important issue is response to time-critical events.

Can the Promise of an Interoperable Smart Grid be Finally Realized in IoT? - Odealya Price, Itron IoT

What is the Smart Grid anyway? Some say its integrating meters, distribution, transmission and renewable sources into a system that is adequate for the 21st century. While others envision an electrical grid where IoT sensors abound, and consumers are actively involved in reducing their energy usage leading to reduced carbon emissions and potentially the delay of costly new power plants. Whatever the definition, the promise of an electrical grid suitable for the 21st century in the midst of climate change cannot be realized without addressing cyber-security, software defined networking, big data, and containerization of applications at the IoT network edge.
