Let's Talk about .. TRONSHOW2011



On December 15, 2010, I found the information posted by Kieng, my friend from the University of Tokyo, about TRONSHOW2011, so I went to listen to the international session.
The 27th TRON Project Symposium (TRONSHOW2011) is during December 15-17, 2010 at Tokyo Midtown, Japan. It is organized by T-Engine Forum.
Method of Identify Location

The Light Flexible Speaker (TLF-SP)

Tokyo Ubiquitous Technology Project
The session I participated was "Globalizing Ubiquitous Computing"
Prof. Ken Sakamura, a coordinator
First is the talk of "Globalizing Ubiquitous Computing"
Globalizing Ubiquitous Computing 
Dr. Gerald Santucci
By Dr.Gerald Santucci, head of unit "Networked Enterprise & RFID", European Commission 
He talked about nowadays, there are many Internet of Things such as Smart Building, Smart Energy, Smart Health, Smart Cities, Smart Transport, and Smart Living. PM of China said also last year that "Internet of Things is the wisdom of the earth". There are 3 underlying trends: Scale, Mobility, Heterogeneity & Complexity. There is a research said that everyone use 5,000 things.  Future Internet challenges consist of more storage, more addresses, more transport capacity , making tech ology compatible, Internet for all, better search tool, from data to knowledge.  
A definition of the Intetnet of Things by Dr. Gerald Santucci
The Internet of Things (IoT) as an Integral Part of the future Internet A dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual "things" have identities, physical attributes, and virtual things.
EU IoT Project 
Cluster Activities Organized activity chains in the area of: Architecture approaches, models, naming, search, discover; Government issues, Privacy and security; Links to nation, etc.
IoT EU Policy Framework Europe's action plan
- Privacy and data protection; 'right to the silence of the chips' 1991 Internet was invented, started using in 1993, but well-known in 1995.
- Standardization, there should no barrier to train people.
- Research
- Waste management, when all technological devices go to the end of usage period.
- International dialogue
- Innovation
- Government
- Trust, security, and acceptance
Internet of Things Governance
Action 1: Define a set of principles for IoT governance
Design an "architecture" with a sufficient level of decentralised management to address key challenges: avoidance of a single point-of-failure, service tranferability, interoperability ofn every level, security, scalability, technology-neutrality...
Action 2:
- Continuous monitoring of privacy and personal data protection
- Communication on trust and privacy in the ubiquitous society
Action 3: The "right to the silence of the chips": individuals should be able to disconnect from their networked environment at any time.
Action 4: The Commission will follow ENISA work on the identification of emerging risks and provide a policy framework to develop IoT.
Action 5: The Commission will follow the development of IoT infrastructures becoming a vital resource to economy and society.
Action 6:
- Launch or extend currently standards Mandates to include issues related to IoT
- Ensure IoT standards are developed in an open, transparent and consensual manner
Action 7: Finance research projects through FP7 projects.
Action 8: Contribute to the respective Public-Private Partnerships:
- Green cars
- Energy-efficient buildings
- Factories of the Future
- Future Internet
Action 9: Innovation and pilot projects: promoting the deployment of IoT applications by launching pilot projects though ICT-PSP.
Action 10: The Commission will inform Europe Institutions and relevant stakeholders about IoT developments.
Action 11: International dialogue to promote the lines of action laid down in the Communication
Action 12: To assess the difficulties of recycling tags and the benefits and nuisances that the presence of tags can have on the recycling of objects.
Action 13: Monitoring the introduction of IoT related technologies to allow the assessment of their impact as well as the effectiveness of the related Community policies
Action 14: The Commission will assess the evolution of IoT
Internet of Things Architecture 
Alessandro Blassi
By Mr.Alessandro Blassi, Technical Coordinator of the FP7 IP Project "Internet of Things Architecture", Hitachi Europe Ltd. 
Only a few people imagined in last ten years ago that today we have smart phone that can send e-mail like today. There are many Internet involved things around us such as Smart house, business productive, safe health monitoring, logistics. IoT-A will be laying the foundation for such a future.  
For Current status, it's Fragmented architecture, no coherent unifying concepts, solution exist for only application silos. No coherent approaches to implement the IoT.  Many island solutions do exist (RFID, sensor, etc.)  
The objectives of IoT-A
- Removing the barriers of deployment and widescale acceptance of IoT
- Demonstrating the usability of IoT-A
Means of implementation
- Providing a protocol suite based on open protocols centred around a narrow waste
- Defining a novel resolution infrastructure
- Building novel device platform components
- Implementing real-life use cases
Spiral Development of IoT-A
Spiral Development by Alessandro Blassi
IoT-A will work with T-Engine. 
If you want to get involve and contribute to IoT-A, the IoT-A need you, you can become a IoT-A stakeholder by going the website http://www.IoT-a.eu/stakeholder  
Key Driver for ubiquitous network 
By Prof.Dr.Ryo Imura, Executive Officer, Hitachi Information Systems, Ltd. and Professor of the University of Tokyo. 
Prof. Ryo Imura, Dr. Gerald Santucci, and Alessandro Blassi
By  Essential point is how smart and how beneficial to our daily life.  The technology, especially IoT is already embedded in our daily life. We need to win the technology by using our creativity. After that it's the discussion between him and Dr.Gerald and Alessandro.
After that there's a continuing talk about China's case.
