Internet of Things market to hit $7.1 trillion by 2020: IDC
The burgeoning global Internet of Things market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020,
according to IT research agency, IDC.

The Internet of Things Has Vast Economic Potential: McKinsey
Their report predicts that the Internet of things, a term for sensor-laden machines
connected to the web, will in the year 2025 create between nearly $4 trillion to $11
trillion in economic beneﬁts globally.

The IoT Opportunity

‣ Locality
‣ Data Gravity & Privacy
‣ Security
‣ Heterogeneity & Change
‣ Adaption & Evolution → Longevity
‣ Scale & Complexity
The Elephant in the Room

Locality
Detect, Analyse and React
These behaviours need to be local to the
physical environments they control.
A heat sensor should not need the Internet to trigger
the local fire alarm!
Processes must be adaptively controlled within the
environment within which they work, and not via
some ‘Cloud Data Centre’ hundreds or thousands of
miles away!

Data Gravity & Privacy
Processing data locally preserves context,
privacy and avoids uploading large amounts of
data.
Example:
A body scan generates many GB of data. Uploading this for
remote processing is time consuming and costly.
Processing via local Machine Learning algorithms is quick
and cost effective. Analysis of data may also require
additional context - Why was the patient scanned? What is
the Patients medical history? This full context is available
to the Doctor / Hospital which generates the data - so this is
where the analysis should occur.
Anonymised / derivative / results may be
propagated to up stream Services.

Heterogeneity & Change
IoT environments will be highly heterogenous.
Business Requirements & Devices will change
over time. The rate of change will be different
for different environments.
Software updates process must be simple.
Updates must be required by / appropriate to /
each target environment.
Software update process must be reversible
and when required hot-swappable.

Security
The interdependence between the software
components must be explicit. Why is that
component installed? Why is it needed?
The providence of each software component
must be assured. Where did that component
come from? Who authored it?
This is difficult to achieve if the deployment
artefact is an opaque software image!
Iran’s Uranium enrichment centrifuges
destroyed by stuxent software virus.

Adaption & Evolution → Longevity
From the Agency that brought you the
Internet…
“Modern-day software systems, even those that
presumably function correctly, have a useful and
effective shelf life orders of magnitude less than
other engineering artifacts.
While an application's lifetime typically cannot be
predicted with any degree of accuracy, it is likely to be
strongly inversely correlated with the rate and
magnitude of change of the ecosystem in which it
executes.”
April 2015

Scale & Complexity
Energy, Manufacturing, Agriculture,
Environmental Defence, Home
Automation, Smart Energy, Health.
Monitoring and automated machine
learning across all of these domains.
Federated, Hierarchical & Edge centric.
Ultimately IoT is about instrumenting
our home Planet

Communities & Standards

The Open Industry Standard for Java
Modularity

• The OSGi Alliance is a global non-profit standards
organisation and counts many leading software vendors,
telcos and other organizations among its membership. A
wide range of open source projects and commercial
products use OSGi technology for IoT, cloud and
enterprise markets.
• Current board members include:

• Not just Java - the larger OSGi
community has investigated C/C++,JS
& Python.

OSGi - Already the Hidden Enabler

Existing uses include:
• IoT, M2M, Smart Home, Telematics, Assisted Living, Healthcare,
Automotive, Media, Control Systems, Energy Management, Smart Meters,
Telecommunications, Enterprise Software Platforms and Robotics.

Objective:
To make OSGi as easy as possible for
developers to get started with OSGi without
compromising its core values
http://enroute.osgi.org

‣Modularity makes complexity manageable.
‣Modular structures are Adaptive
‣Modular structures are Evolvable
Design Rules, Volume 1:
The Power of Modularity
(MIT Press, 2000)
Again why Modularity?
Evolvability means that the system doesn’t have to be restarted or redeployed in order to
Adapt to Change.
Roy T. Fielding is a Senior Principal Scientist at Adobe

An OSGi platform enables Services to be dynamically assembled, in an
environment aware fashion, from self-describing software components.
Hence OSGi directly addresses the issues discussed. OSGi directly
addresses DARPA’s Adaption, Evolution and Longevity challenge!
