Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V2)

1 Overview
The CPaaaS.io project has continued throughout the second year the dissemination activities both
towards the scientific community as well as the general public that were successfully started in year 1. In
this report, we describe the activities of year 2; activities in year 1 were reported already in Deliverable
D7.3. However, in order to provide a complete picture, in the overview tables we also list year 1 activities.
Year 1 activities are shown on a grey background in these tables.
Table 1 summarizes the number of concrete disseminations done in the first two years compared to thetarget numbers as stated in the Description of Action (DoA).

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V2)2 Dissemination Activities

2.1 Public Website
The CpaaS.io website (http://www.cpaas.io/) has continuously been updated with project results reported
in the News section, as well as with Deliverables, scientific papers and project-related videos, like theintroductory video about the project, as shown below:

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V2)Figure 3 shows the number of visitors to the website since we started tracking visitors, i.e., since midSeptember 2017. On average, the site has approx. 50 distinct visitors per day, totalling approx. 11'500
visitors over the last 9 months. The average visitors looks at about 4 pages, the site's main page, theResults page and the Use Cases page being the most visited pages

2.2 Social MediaWe are continuing to use Twitter (@cpaasio) to promote the project, informing about new project
results, tweets from events, as well as retweeting other interesting Smart City topics. Furthermore, allproject presentations are also available via SlideShare (tagged with "cpaas.io").

Figure 4: Slides available on SlideShare

Furthermore, we have opened a CPaaS.io LinkedIn group. However, this group has failed so far to getmuch attention.

2.3 Events
Also in year two the CPaaS.io project has made active contributions in several events, as shown in Table 2.
Below follows a short description of the CPaaS.io contributions at these events, in chronological order.
In November, NEC's FogFlow was announced as a new FIWARE Generic Enabler at the FIWARE Tech
Summit in Malaga. At the event, NEC also presented about this component that has partially beendeveloped as part of the CPaaS.io project. NEC made tutorials of the FogFlow at the summit and alsoavailable at the FIWARE web site. The tutorial was repeated during the FIWARE Summit 2018 in Porto.In
addition, OdinS presented about MiMurcia.
At the TRON Symposium 2017 in Tokyo the CPaaS.io project was
highly visible. The project was featured both at the booth of YRP and
the one of the University of Tokyo, where the digital signage demo
was showcased that has been developed in the CPaaS.io context. Thisdemo was shown also to the Minister of Internal Affairs andCommunications of Japan, Ms. Seiko Noda (Figure 5: Ken Sakamura
showing the digital signage demo to Minister NodaFigure 5). In
addition, we held the first public city stakeholder workshop withrepresentatives of Amsterdam, Murcia, Sapporo, Tokyo and Yokosuka
on the panel, and a representative of Zurich presenting via video.
Results from that workshop have already been reported in deliverable
D7.5. Having that many city representatives on location then also
made a short meeting possible with Tokyo Governor Koike, as shownin Figure 6.
BFH is regularly organizing a so-called eGov Lunch: This public event
targets people working in the public sector and interested in eGovernment issues. It is regulary attended by both people from Figure 5: Ken Sakamura showing thefederal, cantonal and communal administrations, as well as by solution digital signage demo to Minister Noda
providers. The CPaaS.io provided the content for the February 2018
event about the Smart City challenges, solutions and value for public administrations.2 We could win
Laurent Horvath from the city of Carouge – one of the most active cities in Switzerland regarding Smart
City and also a member of the Open and Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative.
Also in February, the kokosil visitor app was used by visitors to the yearly Sapporo Snow Festival (Yuki
Matsur, 雪まつり). Taking advantage of being at the festival, we also collected some data about visitor
activity for analysis purposes with the help of student volunteers carrying sensor devices provided byAGT.
At the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona at the end of February, NEC demonstrated FogFlow
with a set of edge computing use cases, such as finding a lost child from stadiums, enabling
automatically controlled awning devices for retail shops. The FogFlow booth attracted visits of over 200
guests from more than 100 companies and around 36 countries. FogFlow was also demonstrated at the
FIWARE Global Summit 2018 in Porto in May, this time showcasing three use cases to illustrate thevalue of sharing and exchanging contextual data across data sources, applications, and domains in a

networks, we demonstrated how smart city services like smart parking can be realized with open andsecure data from different sources and providers to improve the efficiency of our society. The CPaaS.io
booth and the use cases demos was a collborative effort by NEC, TTN and OdinS.

In June finally, the CPaaS.io project was responsible for organizing the Workshop on User Centric Smart
Cities Services (UCSC 2018), held during the Global IoT Summit 2018 in Bilbao, co-located with the IoT
Week 2018, where CPaaS.io arranged that representatives its partner cities joined the OASC-organised
Joint Workshop on IoT for Smart Cities & Communities Platform Convergence (IOT4SCC) as speakers.
The results of that workshop are detailed in Deliverable D7.8. In the two UCSC sessions, about 25

2.5 Co-Creation Events
Through YRP and UoT, CPaaS.io helped organize the first Open Data Challenge for Public
Transportation in Tokyo3. Entries could be made from December 7, 2017, until March 15, 2018. The
winners were finally announced on May 15 at the Toyo University Akabanedai Campus INIAD Hall. This
co-creation event had the intention to identify and prototypically implementing Smart City use cases inthe transportation domain, using both static and dynamic data from various transport companies in theTokyo area and combining this with other open data sources, e.g., governmental data, weather data andgeospatial data. About 100 entries were made, ranging from a navigation app combining the data of all
major Tokyo train operators, an augemented reality app showing the way to the nearest train station, a
4D-visualisation (3D plus time) of the status of trains and buses, to a mashup with Spotify that would
select songs that take exactly as long as the user's train ride, so that the last song is finished exactly when
the user arrives.

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V2)3 Standardisation Activities

3.1 ETSI Industrial Specification Group Context Information Management
Beginning of 2017 ETSI formed a new Industrial Specification Group on Context Information
Management. The target of the group is to specify the new version of the OMA NGSI API. NGSI is thecore API of the FIWARE platform and therefor of CPaaS.io. NEC is founding member of the ISG and very
active contributor. L- Frost from NEC is chair of the group, M. Bauer and E. Kovacs active contributor.
The goal of the ISG is as follows
•
•
•
•
•
•

enable semantic annotations and links to ontologies use of JSON-LD as basic data structure
semantic queries and subscriptions
formally introduced properties of properties (meata-data) and relationships – concepts that were
not in the original standard, but needed for smart cities
refinement of the API
improvement of the query language
improvement of the handling of geo-data

The result of the specification group is the new standard, shortname NGSI-LD. CPaaS.io is planning to
upgrade the IoT Broker as well as FogFlow to the new standard and run experiments and trials.

3.2 ETSI ISG City Data Profile
ETIS has established a new ISG createing a so-called City Data Profile. The idea is that the specification
should give cities a cookbook-like receipt for creating their city platform. The goals fo the ISG are verymuch aligned to CPaaS.io. NEC is active contributor to the work.

3.3 AIOTI WG3 Subworking Group “Semantic Interoperability”
Semantic Interoperabiltiy is a core working topic in CPaaS.io. AIOTI WG 3 (Standards) has a sub-working
group on “Semantic Interoperability” which is lead by Martin Bauer, NEC. The working group is studying
topics on how to achieve semantic interoperability in IoT. During the IoT week, the working group met to
discuss the further work programm. An important topic is the creation of an second white paper on
Semantic Interoperability. Several members from standardisation organizations like oneM2M, ETIS ISG
CIM, W3C Web-of-Things, PEE P2413, OASC, and others were participating. For CPaaS.io is semanticinteroperability and important topic which will be tackled by the project through extending the FIWARE
platform with means to achive semantic annotations using the JSON-LD approach. Respective
standardization activities in ETIS ISG CIM are closely monitored by CPaaS.io and will be included in theirnext paltfrom release.

3.4 IEEE Smart Cities Technology Framework Working GroupIn addition, Stephan Haller (BFH) has joined the IEEE Smart Cities Technology Framework Working Group
responsible for the IEEE P2748 project. The group is developing a "Guide for the Technology and Process

H2020 EUJ-02-2016

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V2)

Framework for Planning a Smart City". The purpose of this guideline is according to the group's charteras follows: "The proposed guideline takes into consideration both technology standards and protocols aswell as process andplanning guidelines as a part of the overall framework. This guideline provides a processthat allows for deployments to be reflective of theneeds of constituents in a given area and enable data todrive best practices decisions that use technology as a tool to improve outcomes forpeople. This framework
will provide a methodology for municipalities and technology integrators to plan for innovative andemergingsolutions to seamlessly connect from city to city, state to state, and region to region." Several task
forces have been established, and CPaaS.io is contributing currently to the "Platforms" task force, but will
likely also contribute to issues about governance, blueprinting and processes.

4 Mentions in the Press
Table 9 shows all press listings of CPaaS.io that we are aware of. Reports about the project have been
published in regional and local newspapers, technical journals, as well as online ICT news portals.
In December 2017 the EU-Japan Newsletter #606, published by the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial
Collaboration, had two short items about CPaaS.io. And in February 2018, the Japanese TRONWARE
magazine published a feature about the city stakeholder workshop in Tokyo (Figure 11).

5 Future Plans
No significant changes are required in the general dissemination strategy. We will continue to publish
scientific papers at relevant conferences, to talk to city officials and other interested parties and interest
groups, and to regularly update the project web site. Noteworthy are the activities to define the “Smart
City Heidelberg Referenzarchitektur” to which CPaaS will actively contribute. Trials using CPaaS.io
technology are in preparation for Heidelberg. Also, the work in the mentioned standardisation groups iscontinuing.
Regarding events, two major events for the project will take place in December. First we are planning fora CPaaS.io booth showing federated demos between EU and Japan at the ICT 2018 in Vienna (Dec. 4-6),
and thereafter we will have the last city stakeholder workshop as well as presence at project partners'
booths at the TRON Symposium in Tokyo (Dec. 12-14).
