Input for column on IoT
by Sill, Alan 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

I am writing a column for IEEE Cloud Computing on standards useful in IoT, and would appreciate any and all input. Please feel to write to me individually with any questions or suggestions. OCCI obviously has applicability here, but I would be interested beyond this in any ongoing work. Thanks, Alan

You are welcome to do the same and I will share across the CSCC’s network. Please feel free to forward. Over Q2 and early July, the CSCC has published: • Cloud Customer Architecture for Blockchain<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/cloud-customer-architecture-for-b…> – A reference architecture for creating blockchain applications + review of blockchain concepts • Practical Guide to Cloud Management Platforms<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/practical-guide-to-cloud-manageme…> – A guide to CMPs, capabilities/functions, evaluation criteria, and deployment considerations • Data Residency Challenges<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/data-residency-challenges.htm> (a discussion paper) – Data residency issues and risks, laws and regulations, applicable and related standards, cloud customer needs • Hybrid Cloud Considerations for Big Data & Analytics<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/hybrid-cloud-considerations-for-b…> – A companion guide to Cloud Customer Architecture for Big Data & Analytics (now v2<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/cloud-customer-architecture-for-b…>). The majority of big data & analytics use cases are on hybrid cloud infrastructure. Papers being delivered over the next few months: • DevOps reference architecture • An update to the CSCC’s 1st highly-read deliverable Practical Guide to Cloud Computing <http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/practical-guide-to-cloud-computin…> • An update to Migrating Applications to Public Cloud Services: Roadmap for Success<http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/migrating-applications-to-public-…> Companion webinars with the authors are posted to Events: http://www.cloud-council.org/events.htm Any news to share our way?

Mobile Cloud Robotics as a Service with OCCIware wins Best Paper award at ICIOT 17
by Sill, Alan 05 Jul '17

Thought you would be interested in the following link. Congratulations to Philippe, Christophe, and Nathalie! Paper: Mobile Cloud Robotics as a Service with OCCIware Distinction: Best Paper Award - June 25, 2017 Date: May 2017 Authors: Philippe Merle, Christophe Gourdin, Nathalie Mitton Conference: 2nd IEEE International Congress on Internet of Things, IEEE ICIOT 2017 Abstract: We have recently witnessed the emerging of cloud computing on one hand and robotics platforms on the other hand. Naturally, these two visions have been merging to give birth to the Cloud Robotics paradigm in order to offer even more remote services. But such a vision is still in its infancy. Architectures and platforms are still to be defined to efficiently program robots so they can provide different services, in a standardized way masking their heterogeneity. This paper introduces Open Mobile Cloud Robotics Interface (OMCRI), a Robot-as-a-Service vision based platform, which offers a unified easy access to remote heterogeneous mobile robots. OMCRI encompasses an extension of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standard and a gateway hosting mobile robot resources. We then provide an implementation of OMCRI based on the open source model-driven Eclipse-based OCCIware tool chain and illustrates its use for three off-the-shelf mobile robots: Lego Mindstorm NXT, Turtlebot, and Parrot AR.Drone.
