When Things Matter: A Data-Centric View of the Internet of Things
With the recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID), low-cost
wireless sensor devices, and Web technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT)
approach has gained momentum in connecting everyday objects to the Internet and
facilitating machine-to-human and machine-to-machine communication with the
physical world. While IoT offers the capability to connect and integrate both
digital and physical entities, enabling a whole new class of applications and
services, several significant challenges need to be addressed before these
applications and services can be fully realized. A fundamental challenge
centers around managing IoT data, typically produced in dynamic and volatile
environments, which is not only extremely large in scale and volume, but also
noisy, and continuous. This article surveys the main techniques and
state-of-the-art research efforts in IoT from data-centric perspectives,
including data stream processing, data storage models, complex event
processing, and searching in IoT. Open research issues for IoT data management
are also discussed
A new framework for the management of returnable "containers" within open supply networks
International audienceNew logistics models – physical internet, pooling, control towers, re-usable containers management – require an item-level traceability of physical shipping units that is independent of the partners involved in the supply chains. Current information systems architectures match this need by interfacing heter-ogeneous systems with each other. Such architecture can't meet the challenges brought by new and shared logistics models. We demonstrate here how the re-cent EPCglobal® standards and related technologies are settled in a multi-firm open network, applied to the management of reusable pallets, taken here as de-monstrators of Open Tracing Containers (OTC). Material and methods for cap-turing data and structuring information are proposed and implemented in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods flows. Results illustrate the reach of that "Intra-net of things" prototype, leading to interoperable logistic services, throughout various levels: from identifier tag level up to the piloting of each partner's lo-gistics networks. We highlight limits and perspectives in terms of technical track and trace solutions and assets management in this environment
Informacijski servisni sustav za poljoprivredni IoT
Internet of Things (IoT) was faced with some difficulties which contained mass data management, various standards of object identification, data fusion of multiple sources, business data management and information service providing. In China, some safety monitoring systems of agricultural product always adopt centralized system architecture in which the data is stored concentratively. These systems could not be connected with or accessed by each other. This paper proposed an information system of agriculture Internet of Things based on distributed architecture. A distributed information service system based on IoT-Information Service, Object Naming Service, Discovery Service is designed to provide public information service including of capturing, standardizing, managing and querying of massive business data of agriculture production. A coding scheme for agricultural product, business location and logistic unit is provided for data identification. A business event model of agriculture IoT is presented for business data management. The whole system realizes the tracking and tracing of agricultural products, and quality monitoring of agriculture production. The implementation of this information service system is introduced.Internet stvari suočen je s poteškoćama poput upravljanja s velikom količinom podataka, različitim standardnima identifikacije objekata, fuzije podataka iz više izvora, upravljanja poslovnim podatcima i pružanje informacijskih usluga. Sigurnosno nadgledanje poljoprivrednih proizvoda u Kini uvijek podliježe centraliziranoj arhitekturi gdje su podatci koncentrirani na jednom mjestu. Takvi sustavi ne mogu biti povezani jedni s drugim te jedan drugome ne mogu pristupati. U ovome radu predložen je informacijski sustav za poljoprivredni internet stvari temeljen na distribuiranoj arhitekturi. Distribuirani informacijski servisni sustav baziran na IoT (Internet stvari), sustav za imenovanje objekata i sustav za otkrivanje omogućuju javni informacijski servis uključujući prikupljanje, standardizaciju, upravljanje i ispitivanje velikih količina podataka o poljoprivrednim proizvodima. Prikazana je shema kodiranja za poljopoprivredne proizvode, poslovne lokacije i logističke jedinice za identifikaciju podataka. Poslovni model doga.aja za poljoprivredni IoT je prezentiran za upravljanje poslovnim podatcima. Cjelokupni sustav omogućuje praćenje poljoprivrednih proizvoda te nadgledanje njihove kvalitete. Rad tako.er daje uvid u implementaciju informacijskog servisnog sustava
The RFID PIA – developed by industry, agreed by regulators
This chapter discusses the privacy impact assessment (PIA) framework endorsed
by the European Commission on February 11th, 2011. This PIA, the first to receive the
Commission's endorsement, was developed to deal with privacy challenges associated with
the deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, a key building block of
the Internet of Things. The goal of this chapter is to present the methodology and key
constructs of the RFID PIA Framework in more detail than was possible in the official text.
RFID operators can use this article as a support document when they conduct PIAs and need
to interpret the PIA Framework. The chapter begins with a history of why and how the PIA
Framework for RFID came about. It then proceeds with a description of the endorsed PIA
process for RFID applications and explains in detail how this process is supposed to function.
It provides examples discussed during the development of the PIA Framework. These
examples reflect the rationale behind and evolution of the text's methods and definitions. The
chapter also provides insight into the stakeholder debates and compromises that have
important implications for PIAs in general.Series: Working Papers on Information Systems, Information Business and Operation

HP Brazil: Journey Towards Industrial Internet of Things Within Industry 4.0 Context
This paper features a case study of Hewlett Packard Brazil’s deployment of radio frequency identification-enabled Exceler8 platform to support its product assembly using Flextronics in Sorocaba, Sao Paulo and distribution by DHL. The study also identifies the stage HP Brazil belongs to in its journey to being a full smart factory using the framework of Odwazny et al. (2018). The case study and content analysis methods are used in analyzing the concepts prescribed by the Industry 4.0, smart factory, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) frameworks to HP Brazil’s RFID system. The Odwazny et al. (2018) framework identifies HP Brazil as being in the maturity stage, with selected attributes of the “smart factory” stage since its Exceler8 platform supports vertical integration in its assembly, distribution, and recycling sites. Hopefully, empirical work will be pursued with vigor in the future to gain an understanding of the actual conditions that support the successful deployment of both Industry 4.0 and IIOT initiatives. Firms interested in applying Industry 4.0 and IIOT concepts within their production environments would be guided by this study. Applying the German Industry 4.0 model, their Industry 4.0 initiative would seek to (1) enable collaboration between humans and machines; (2) produce customized products in small batches; (3) optimize high automation; and (4) deploy devices in flexible and eco-friendly production processes to meet customization requirements
