Session Abstract

The focus is on creating a road-map for smooth transition, preventing data loss and privacy issues, keeping control of operations and assets, surviving the lack of unified standards and interoperability among providers and addressing the complexities that often arise in the implementation and operational phases of adoption.

This panel aims to address the following areas:
• Who needs or wants to work together? In what ways?
• What is required and desirable to enable the inter-operation or integration of these related applications or systems?
• What commercial and technical frameworks need to be in place? What is the impact going to be on the industry and the end-user consumer or enterprise?

[a] Infrastructure, which is primarily networking, data transport, transient data storage and the foundational services by which to elicit and ‘land’ data must also be used in 21st Century IoT to replace old-school supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)

[b] Integration includes not only the infrastructure and foundational services, but must address data integration and then unification/management of datasets over time for the purpose of predictive analysis, search, real-time control, etc.

[c] Interoperability must be considered at the lowest ‘layers’ of data communications, the management/control plane as well as the data plane, and the smooth (and safe/secure) inter-working of systems that are under the distinct and separate management of different organizations.
