4 Internet of Things is it Hype? Short answer is, No! The Internet of Things will connect every thing with everyone in an integrated global network (Rifkin 2014, p11) The Internet of Things is the first smart-infrastructure revolution in history. It will connect every machine, business, residence, and vehicle in an intelligent network comprised of a Communications Internet, Energy Internet, and Logistics [Transport] Internet... (Rifkin 2014, p73) 4

5 Internet of Things (2) These regimes are fundamental for managing, powering and moving economic life Comms internet is already built Building the others now Each internet enables the other ones Transport (Logistics) Internet Communications Internet IoT Energy Internet 5

6 Internet of Things (3) (Rifkin 2014 pp41-55, Rifkin 2015) 1st Industrial rev. ( ) 2 nd Industrial rev. ( ) 3 rd Industrial rev. (IoT) (1995- ) Communications Steam powered printing, telegraph, public schools Telephone, TV, radio, mass media WWW, social media, produce/consume/store information Energy Fossil fuel, steam Elite fuels - fossil, nuclear, oil/gas pipelines Green, renewable power, prosumers, hydrogen storage Transport Steam locomotives, steam ships Internal combustion engine, mass production, automobiles, national road systems Self-driving cars (electric/hydrogen), road management systems, shared vehicles Organisation One-way, centralised One-way, centralised, silos, closed, proprietary Shared, collaborative, distributed, interconnected, open sourced 6

8 Enablers of IoT How we get there IPv6 - Unique device addresses High bandwidth Open standards Configuration management 8

IPv6 IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and provides approximately 2 32 or 4.

9 IPv6 IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and provides approximately 2 32 or addresses Last IPv4 address was allocated in February 2011 IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, theoretically allowing 2 128, or approximately addresses (IPv6 2016, World IPv6 Launch 2016, The Internet Society 2016) 9

10 5G Initiative Increasing bandwidth to 10 Gb/s 2020s timeframe Massive research effort Requirements Low latency Reliable 10 Gb/s IoT won t happen without it (Soldani 2015) 10

11 Open standards Reduce cost, encourage collaboration (OpenStand 2016) Software - Linux Hardware Open Compute Project Knowledge - Wikipedia Artificial Intelligence OpenAI Next? 11

12 Linux Open platform 96.6% of internet based servers (Wikipedia 2016) Powers Android and Google Chrome (InfoWorld 2016) Ubuntu Linux chosen by AT&T for its cloud platform (TechRepublic 2016) 12

13 Open Compute Project Facebook initiative 2011 (Open Compute Project 2016) Open hardware standards Open network standards Reduces costs no royalties to pay Disruptive innovation Cisco, Dell, EMC concerned 13

14 Wikipedia Built on Mediawiki software an open standard (Mediawiki 2016) Collaborative encyclopaedia replaces paper versions 14

15 OpenAI Open AI standard (OpenAI 2015) Allows for collaboration in AI Collaboration could reduce risk by addressing the control problem (Bostrom 2014) 15

16 Agenda The Internet of Things Hype? Enablers of IoT Configuring the IoT The Service Aware CMDB Use Case Road Management System Conclusion 16

17 Configuration a definition 17

Configuring the IoT Presentation by Vint Cerf (Cerf 2015) Father of the Internet Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, Google He described one unanswered question

18 Configuring the IoT Presentation by Vint Cerf (Cerf 2015) Father of the Internet Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, Google He described one unanswered question in IoT as, How do I configure large numbers of devices into my network? He described one of the challenges and opportunities: Configuration of massive numbers of devices 18

19 Configuring the IoT the CMDB can help Utilize extant Configuration Management DataBase (CMDB) and ITIL technology Use a traditional CMDB Or A Service Aware CMDB Configuring massive numbers of devices; naturally group into fewer services Dynamic configuration automated service maps Access control (credentials and security) handled by CMDB To accelerate rollout, perhaps encourage open standards for ITIL and CMDB? (NB: ITIL is a Registered Trade Mark of AXELOS Limited) 19

20 Agenda The Internet of Things Hype? Enablers of IoT Configuring the IoT The Service Aware CMDB Use Case Road Management System Conclusion 20

21 The Service Aware CMDB Fewer services naturally group devices Service Maps show relationship between IoT services and devices Automated Service Discovery enables dynamic configuration 21

22 Service Maps help to create a service view of IoT Map information is stored into the CMDB Service oriented view of IoT 22

23 Discovery is enabled by credentials management Example: Discovery Credentials Management System (DCMS) Provisions and verifies target device credentials DCMS Discovery CMDB IoT 23

24 Agenda The Internet of Things Hype? Enablers of IoT Configuring the IoT The Service Aware CMDB Use Case Road Management System Conclusion 24

25 Use Case Road Management System (1) Soldani (2015) describes requirements for a RMS Fast connection Reliable Low latency (1-10ms) High data volumes (>200Mb/s) Support performance up to max. relative speed Any network operator 25

26 Use Case Road Management System (2) Services: Car to Infrastructure communication Car to Backend communication Car to Car communication 26

27 Use Case Road Management System (3) CMDB data model for one vehicle: Business service name Vehicle ID Speed Direction Location (lat./long.) Location of other moving objects Accident risk level (0-10) Date/time 27

28 Use Case Road Management System (4) CMDB data model for intersection: Road data: Business service name Road ID Intersection ID Vehicles travelling Direction Speed Location in intersection Approaching Inside leaving Traffic light sequence 28

29 Agenda The Internet of Things Hype? Enablers of IoT Configuring the IoT The Service Aware CMDB Use Case Road Management System Conclusion 29

30 Conclusion IoT is the Third Industrial Revolution One unanswered question in IoT rollout is the configuration problem The service-aware CMDB and related technologies can be used to manage the configuration of the IoT. 30
