This is your last chance to request alteration of anything in it. Note that I changed the reference from iMinds to IMEC to show correct company affiliation. I/we still have to wait for more signatures AND the first announcement by ETSI. If any of you want to share your planned press releases, it would be appreciated. cheers Lindsay ________________________________________ Dr. Lindsay Frost, Chief Standardization Eng. frost at neclab.eu<mailto:frost at neclab.eu> Mobile +49.163.275.1734 NEC Laboratories Europe, Kurfürsten-Anlage 36, D-69115 Heidelberg, Germany.

New industry group to improve interoperability for smart city solutions NEC co-founds the new standards group to help smart cities integrate services and further advance the quality of life of citizens Heidelberg, Germany, January xx, 2017 - NEC Laboratories Europe today announced that it is one of five members of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) who have initiated a new ETSI Industry Specification Group on Context Information Management (ISG CIM), together with the organisation Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) The ISG CIM will specify important protocols running ‘on top’ of IoT platforms and allowing exchange of data together with its context, for example what is described by the data, what was measured, when, where, by what, the time of validity, ownership, and so on. This will dramatically extend the interoperability of applications, helping smart cities to integrate their existing services and enable new third-party services. The five ETSI members of the new ISG CIM are Easy Global Market, IMEC, NEC, Orange and Telefonica. Beyond the initial focus of smart cities, the approach will be transferable to other applications, such as smart agriculture and smart industry. Cities are striving to use digital services to advance the quality of life of their citizens, the efficiency of their operations, the growth of their economies and to increase their sustainability. At the moment, telecommunication systems, city infrastructure databases, car traffic management systems, and new Internet of Things (IoT) solutions all have their own specifications, and smart cities are held back by lack of interoperability for exchange of information between these platforms – which the new ISG CIM aims to overcome. A focus of the group will be collaboration with other standardisation activities in related areas, including ETSI TC SmartM2M and ETSI PP oneM2M. Groups such as EIP-SCC, W3C or ITU-T, and open source IoT software platforms such as FIWARE and OM2M will be closely consulted. The goal is to interoperate and to re-use existing work as much as possible. The ISG CIM work is intended to align with the EU’s standardisation policies for the Digital Single Market. Organisations from all areas are welcome to join the ISG CIM initiative: non-ETSI as well as ETSI members, including research organisations, software houses and system integrators, SMEs, industrial partners, city groups and other stakeholders. The official ISG CIM Terms of Reference is available at XXX and a call for participation to the first ISG CIM General Meeting on XXX at ETSI headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France, has been issued to ETSI Members. Please send enquiries to the convenor of the first ISG CIM meeting, Dr. Lindsay Frost (NEC Laboratories Europe, frost at neclab.eu<mailto:frost at neclab.eu>). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
