Standardization strategy for the Internet of wearable things

The development of wireless technologies allowed users to access nearby devices whenever and wherever they want. The Internet of Things (IoT) allows home electronics to be connected to each other, and its impact is expanding to a new domain called the wearable devices. Meanwhile, it is still not common for a wearable device to interact with any nearby devices since they are operated in different platforms especially when devices are manufactured by different vendors. It would be more problematic as the number of wearable devices and vendors are expected to grow dramatically in the near future. Thus, to leverage interoperability, a global standard for wearable devices is highly recommended. Under these circumstances, Standards Developing Organizations (SDO) such as ITU-T, ISO/IEC JTC 1, W3C, and OIC have recently initiated works in relation to wearable devices. The authors have analyzed the relevant standardization and provided strategic action points to foster global standardization on the Internet of wearable things.

Study for strengthening the ICT DIY ecosystem.

As the rise of Internet of Things (IoT), and its projected impact on the world is becoming apparent, supporting and accelerating its development is increasingly important. Since the progress of IoT specifically depends on a strengthened ICT(Information & Communication Technology) DIY(Do It Yourself) culture, the purpose of this paper is therefore to outline a strategy to boost the domestic ICT DIY movement. Based on the requirements that a functioning DIY ecosystem must be supportive and inspirational towards its community, while fostering innovation and having the ability to commercialize new creations, it seeks inspiration from the global ecosystem in order to suggest a number of implementations. The study has found that to establish an effective ICT DIY community, a supportive structure for funding DIY fairs and publications should be created, information about these initiatives should be readily accessible to the public, and universities should engage in DIY IoT activities to stir an interest in its students. Furthermore, aid and guidelines should be provided for any establishing or established DIY community, DIY-spaces should be funded to increase their numbers and reach, and domestic regulations be adjusted to support DIY and startup activity. Finally, crowdfunding and crowdsourcing initiatives should be encouraged, while universities engage in knowledge sharing between students, institutions, and industries.

Standardization requirements for self-quantification services over Internet of things

Self-quantification services are applications of Internet of things (IoT) that quantitatively record almost all aspects of human life and surrounding environment in order to understand his or her various status by analyzing the relationship of collected data. The authors introduce the overview and the challenges of self-quantification services. The high-level requirements are then defined and categorized into three. The relationship among high-level requirements and corresponding challenges is described afterwards. We conclude the paper by emphasizing the need of proper standards to ensure interoperability of self-quantification services and applications over Internet of things.

A Preference Profile for Automating Web Services Conversation in Mobile Environment

The WS-CDL (Web services choreography description language) from W3C facilitates the specification of rules to govern the ordering of message exchanges between Web services participants. The authors consider a computing environment where a mobile client interacts with a Web services provider according to a WS-CDL specification, and propose a framework through which the client can specify its preference on how conversation should take place. The presented framework allows for mobile clients to effectively cope with user and device mobility through providing a flexible means to reduce the number of exchanged messages without violating choreography requirement.

Conversation Preference Profile for Mobile Web Service

Recently Web services choreography working group of W3C has published the working draft on WS-CDL (Web services choreography description language) version 1.0 which defines reusable common rules to govern the ordering of exchanged messages between Web services participants. This paper considers a computing environment where mobile clients are interacting with Web service providers based on a WS-CDL specification. In order to effectively cope with the user and device mobility of such an environment, in this paper we present an ongoing work to develop a framework through which a mobile client can specify its preference on how conversation should take place. The proposed framework provides a flexible means for mobile clients to minimize the number of message exchanges while allowing them to adhere to the required choreography
