Invited Talk, Global Sensor Networks: Enabling Networked Knowledge Manfred Hauswirth, DERI Abstract: The wealth of information and services on today's information infrastructures has significantly changed everyday life and has substantially transformed the way in which business, public and private interactions are performed. The Web has enabled information creation and dissemination, but has also opened the information floodgates. This development is aggravated by the enormous amounts of information coming from sensors in the near future. This "torrent" of information available has made it increasingly difficult to find, access, present and maintain the information required. As a consequence, we are "drowning in information and starving for knowledge." Although knowledge is inherently strongly interconnected and related to people, this interconnectedness is not reflected or supported by current information infrastructures. The lack of interconnectedness hampers basic information management and problem-solving and collaboration capabilities, like finding, creating and deploying the right knowledge at the right time. Thus, the focus on "Enabling Networked Knowledge" is essential, where Networked Knowledge = Web + Sensors + Semantics. Knowledge is the fuel of our increasingly digital service economy (versus manufacturing economy); linking information is the basis of economic productivity.

Invited Talk, Security and Privacy/Anonymity in the RWI Claudia Diaz, Think Trust Abstract: The Real World Internet poses formidable security and privacy challenges. First, securing devices with constrained resources will require highly efficient cryptographic algorithms and protocols, as well as secure implementations. Individuals will generate enormous amounts of data that will be identifiable and linkable unless protective measures are taken. And even if the confidentiality of the data is protected through encryption, communications' traffic patterns are often enough to reveal sensitive information. The current lack of awareness and transparency mechanisms implies that individuals have little if any control on which data is collected by whom and for what purpose, how it is composed into profiles, and how these profiles are then used to make decisions that affect them. This talk will provide an overview of the privacy and security research challenges in the context of the Real World Internet.

SENSEI, RWI architecture, to be presented by Mirko Presser
Sensor and actuator networks (SAN) will play a key role in delivering information about and enable interactions with the physical world for next generations of highly autonomous and adaptive Internet services and applications. Current SAN deployments are still low in numbers and represent heterogeneous, vertically closed solutions. True world awareness can only be achieved if existing and future SANs can be integrated into a scalable real world information and interaction fabric, connecting the current Internet with the physical world. In this presentation we provide a first view (from the SENSEI project) at an initial architecture for such a real world enabled Internet. The core of this architecture is a Real World Resource Layer that enables horizontal access and management. The presentation will include several functional details of this layer, such as rendezvous, dynamic resource creation and session support.

AWISSENENT, to be presented by Theodore Zahariadis
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are expected to gain popularity in the Future Internet due to the fact that they are potentially low-cost solutions, which can be used in a variety of application areas, including asset management, emergency response, medical monitoring, homeland security and environmental monitoring. However, they are also highly susceptible to attacks, due to both the open and distributed nature of the network and the limited resources of the nodes. In this paper, we propose a modular, scalable, secure and trusted networking protocol stack, able to offer self-configuration and secure roaming of data and services over multiple administrative domains and across insecure infrastructures of heterogeneous WSNs. The focus is on trusted route selection, secure service discovery, and intrusion detection, while critical parts of the security functionality may be implemented in low-cost reconfigurable hardware modules, as a defense measurement against side channel attacks. The results will be packed in a modular, security toolbox, which will enable easy configuration and instant support of ad-hoc PANs and wireless sensor secure networks.

RESERVOIR, to be presented by Syed Naqvi
European Union FP7 funded project RESERVOIR (Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers) is launched in February 2008. It aims to develop breakthrough system and service technologies that will serve as the infrastructure for Cloud Computing. This goal will be achieved by creative coupling of virtualization, grid computing, and business service management techniques. RESERVOIR infrastructure will enable massive scale deployment and management of complex IT services across different administrative domains, IT platforms and geographies. The project will provide a foundation for a service-based online economy, where - using virtualization technologies - resources and services are transparently provisioned and managed on an on-demand basis at competitive costs with high quality of service. Key technologies being developed in RESERVOIR include:

Technologies to enable the migration of both virtual machines and Virtual Java Service Containers across network and storage boundaries.
Algorithms for the allocation of resources to conform to SLA (Service Level Agreement) requirements.
The creation of a formal Service Definition Language to support service deployment and life cycle management across RESERVOIR sites.
Security mechanisms for the safe deployment and relocation of virtual machines across physical machines, and RESERVOIR sites.
The development of a business information model as well as business oriented payment and billing mechanisms to charge for resources used across one or more RESERVOIR sites.
Testbed development to benchmark performance of actual industrial use cases in a RESERVOIR environment.

RESERVOIR results will serve the European community, project partners and their customers, in the development of next generation data centres demonstrating quantified and significant improvements in service delivery productivity, quality, availability and cost.

C-CAST, to be presented by Nigel Baker
C-CAST is based on two main competence areas: creation of context awareness and multicasting technologies. Context information defines groups that demand the same information or service. These services are delivered efficiently by multicasting bearers. The project will research, investigate and define ways to use the situation/environment of a user (a mobile device) to initiate group communication. This environment mediated multicast may be triggered by an event or something in the physical environment offering a situation or context orientated service. C-CAST will provide an end-to-end context-aware communication framework specifically for intelligent multicast-broadcast services. It addresses three key issues:

Development of context and group management service enablers for context representation, context assisted group management and context reasoning.
Definition of a framework to collect sensor data, distribute context information and manage efficiently context aware multiparty and multicast transport.
Development of mechanisms for autonomous context driven content creation, adaptation and media delivery.

A key building block of the C-CAST concept will be a Context Management Architecture (CMA) with open interfaces that support not only a wide range of applications but that will also allow enhancing network as well as content creation and delivery services. Thus, the C-CAST CMA will face new challenges resulting from the interaction with a wide range of transport networks, the high dynamics required, and the different control mechanisms applied to control the information flow.

ASPIRE, to be presented by Neeli Prasad
ASPIRE Project (www.fp7-aspire.eu) (Advanced Sensors and lightweight Programmable middleware for Innovative Rfid Enterprise applications) will change the current RFID deployment paradigm, through introducing and boosting a shift towards royalty-free RFID middleware, while also placing the middleware at the heart of RFID infrastructures. In this paradigm a great deal of an RFID's solution intelligence is place on the middleware, which is freely offered to end-users (particularly SMEs). Accordingly, the RFID middleware can integrate with low-cost hardware, as well as with legacy IT and networking infrastructures of the networked enterprise. To support this paradigm ASPIRE will develop and deliver a lightweight, royalty-free, programmable, privacy friendly, standards-compliant, scalable, integrated and intelligent middleware platform that will facilitate low-cost development and deployment of innovative fully automatic RFID solutions. The presentation will include several attributes of the ASPIRE Middleware architecture e.g., Lightweight, Programmable, Intelligent, Scalable, Privacy-Friendly, etc.

Scope:Technologies like RFID, short-range wireless communications, real-time localization and sensor networks are now becoming increasingly common, bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) into commercial use. Connections are multiplying and create an entirely new dynamic network of networks: Real World Internet (RWI).

The RWI is neither science fiction nor industry hype, but is based on solid technological advances and visions of network ubiquity that are jealously being realized. It is important that all stakeholders exercise great care in addressing questions of governance, policy and regulation as the Internet evolves. Common agreement on terminology and concepts is necessary and a sound understanding of the Internet itself by all stakeholders cannot be assumed.
