Deakin IoT Cluster

The Agenda was below but we ended up discussing some major themes for our cluster. Three major themes identified are:  Blockchain for IoT: energy and food and other applications? Smart things and infrastructure: smart things, robotic things, etc smart cities, smart agriculture, etc Data analytics for IoT: various applications, from health to others  Mohamed will try to coordinate a Samsung grant proposal.  Original agenda: : 1. Your proposal for Guest speakers? (update: Dr. Joseph Liu from Monash will talk about blockchain in July) 2. Forming research subgroups on topics you want to learn/develop - what do we want to be good at in IoT in the next 1-3 years? This could also relate to the DVCRs call for ideas (see attached word doc from DVCR as sent by Yong, I have also hosted it on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-La3Am2VPjb1mrdsQvHHzcic5JR8fZVBcJyOnXRKsfg/edit?usp=sharing ) 3.

Here comes Arkady's presentation at Deakin last Friday: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t-Px1WTyPmPEYukV5Tg-XB9UuWVNtC1O   Title: Challenges and opportunities of IoT silos interoperability Abstract : After initial hype with deploying IoT platforms in various applications and building IoT silos, the IoT research community realised the need for IoT interoperability frameworks and building IoT ecosystems as the next step in IoT evolution. This talk will focus on the challenges and opportunities of IoT interoperability with highlights into OpenIoT platform which pioneered horizontal integration of IoT silos and EU Horizon-2020 project bIoTope – building IoT open innovation ecosystem for connected smart objects. The bIoTope ecosystem is based on everything-as-a-service (XaaS) driven by run-time context, reasoning about situations, semantics, continuous analytics. The primary application domain of biotope is Smart Cities. Bio : Professor Zaslavsky is a Senior Princ...

Several agreed to champion projects in certain domains like health, security, etc... Funding for equipment still to actually arrive.  Agenda: 0. Round-table – any ideas to share? 1. Please think of any upcoming invited speakers? Sofar: Dr. Joseph Liu (from Monash, on blockchain, likely in June/July) Prof. Arkady Zaslavsky (Data61, unsure when yet) Others(?)… 2.
