Analysis of Standardisation Context and Recommendations for Standards Involvement

The deliverable will map out the standards landscape and the ecosystem relevant to IoT and specifically the place of VICINITY within it. It will analyse the existing standards and on-going work items relevant to IoT and VICINITY, and recommend the standards involvement that VICINITY partners will undertake over the life of the project. It is very important that VICINITY participates in the recent EC AIOTI standards landscaping initiative and downstreams its results into standards groups such as ETSI SmartM2M, ITS and EE, the oneM2M Partnership Project, ITU-T SG20 and Q20/5, CEN TC278 and ISO TC22 and TC204 so that the European and global community can adopt common systems and interfaces to realise the application benefits, reduce cost and risks. However, there will be insufficient resources to engage with all relevant standards bodies and the project must select the most important working groups and target these for contributions.
