Introduction and Background n 20. 4 billion Io. T devices in use by 2020: Gartner [1] n 68% of the world population in urban areas by 2050: UN [2] n Be ready for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Recovery (HADR). n Multi-agency co-operation. n Multi-device and multi-technology collaboration.

Issues in HADR Context n Heterogeneous nature of protocols and standard used by ICT assets. § Network protocol usage § Data exchange mechanisms or standards, Ontologies, Models § Service Modelling based on Service Oriented Approach (SOA) § Ontologies defining interactions between assets. n Interoperability issues between public (E. x city, private) and non-public domains (E. x Police, Military) n Gaps in the Situational Awareness (SA) picture. © Fraunhofer

Objectives and Entailed Scientific Work ”The objective is to propose a unified, extendable and abstract framework for systems integration. This framework is to be deployed in actual proof-ofconcepts and pilot deployments to ensure interoperability, which needs to be evaluated in the Smart City and Io. T context”. n Device an architecture to enable data and semantic interoperability between the non-public ICT domain and, the Io. T and Smart City domains. n Prevent extended discovery and configuration of the involved systems for HADR ops. © Fraunhofer

Objectives and Entailed Scientific Work n Analyse: n Smart City ICT Infrastructures n Available services, data, APIs and accessible devices n Current state and future directions of Io. T domain n Existing non-public ICT systems n Methods and mechanisms identified will be applied against several components of Smart City and non-public (ex. military) ICT systems. n Pilot implementations would provide the proof of the investigations, the approach used and the solutions being proposed to counter these challenges. © Fraunhofer

Milestones n Architecture deliverable. n Integration Framework deliverable. n Implementation System deliverable. © Fraunhofer
