Internet of Things (IoT) – trends
• Common sensor and actuator information infrastructure across cities
– provides secure and reliable access to sensor and actuator information services for multiple players, and so that information can be efficiently shared across ”verticals”, this provides application enablement

Internet of Things (IoT) – trends Sensors
European IoT policy IoT – Public authorities role
The underlying trends will occur regardless of
public intervention.
It will bring a new set of challenges (some
directly affecting individuals) and deep
societal changes.
Simply leaving the development of the IoT to the private sector is not a sensible option.
A not-that-different debate at the World Summit on the Information Society has driven to similar conclusions: public authorities cannot shirk their
responsabilities towards their citizens.
A 14 action plan to ensure that the use of IoT technologies: • Stimulate economic growth • Improve individuals’ well-being • Address some of today’s societal problem
• Define a set of principles underlying the governance of IoT
• Design an ‘architecture’ with a sufficient level of decentralised management
European IoT policy
Governance

Who assigns the identifier?
How is this identification’s structured?
How is information security ensured?
Which stakeholders are accountable?
… Which ethical and legal framework applies?
• Continuous monitoring of the privacy and the protection of personal data
• Communication on trust and privacy in the ubiquitous society
