PANEL 3
E4Connect - Everything Everywhere Every-time Every-path Connect - Internet of Things and Platforms for Connected Smart Objects
Looking at an integrated multi‐stakeholder ecosystem rather than deployment of individual, not compatible technical solutions.
- Thursday, 26 June 2014, 11:00-12:30, Room Europa
Motivation and Background:
As of today, we witness a strong basis of research, smart systems, manufacturing and integration providers, and a lack of ecosystem(s) for creating a strong Internet of Things (IoT) up take. Hence, there is a strong need of a multi‐stakeholder ecosystem, rather than the deployment of individual, fragmented and not compatible solutions. This requires the integration of results from a number of disciplines, e.g. cloud and networking technologies (5G), big data, cyber physical systems, components, as well as technologies for ensuring privacy/security, and new strategies for international collaboration focusing on IoT architectures, semantics, security and privacy, and standardisation.
Questions
- How to achieve semantic interoperability between IoT platforms covering multiple technologies and device types, including mobile autonomous devices, drones and robots?
- How to integrate smart devices into self‐adaptive, robust, safe, intuitive, affordable and interconnected smart network and service platforms?
- What are the innovative use scenarios, beyond health, smart buildings, energy, mobility, environment and commercial services?
- What new concepts should be proofed and in what scale?

Dr. Mario Gerla is a Professor in the Computer Science Dept at UCLA. He holds an Engineering degree from Politecnico di Milano, Italy and the Ph.D. degree from UCLA. He became IEEE Fellow in 2002. At UCLA, he was part of the team that developed the early ARPANET protocols under the guidance of Prof. Leonard Kleinrock. He joined the UCLA Faculty in 1976. At UCLA he has designed network protocols for ad hoc wireless networks (ODMRP and CODECast) and Internet transport (TCP Westwood). He has lead the ONR MINUTEMAN project, designing the next generation scalable airborne Internet for tactical and homeland defense scenarios. His team is developing a Vehicular Testbed for safe navigation, content distribution, urban sensing and intelligent transport. He serves on the IEEE TON Scientific Advisory Board. He was recently recognized with the annual MILCOM Technical Contribution Award (2011) and the IEEE Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Society Achievement Award (2011).

Markus Dillinger received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in telecommunications in 1990 from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. In 1991 he joined the Mobile Network Division at Siemens for development of GSM base stations. From 1995 on, he was working on the definition of UMTS radios in the European research projects. From 2000 he was leading Software Defined Radio research activities within the Siemens network division. In addition was leading several EU research programmes for UMTS and SDR (FP5 projects TRUST, SCOUT) as EU project coordinator. From 2005 onwards he was director for mobile broadband solutions (WiMAX, LTE, UMTS Femto) and later for enterprise solutions (military, railway). In 2010 he joined Huawei Germany and was director for enterprise solutions for smart grid solutions in energy networks. In 2013 he has joined Huawei European Research Centre as Head of Wireless Internet Technologies where his department runs private and public research programmes for car, energy and general industry demands.
