Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V3)

1 Overview
The CPaaaS.io project has continued throughout the last six months the dissemination activities both
towards the scientific community as well as the general public that were successfully started in year 1 and
2. Highlights of the report period were the extremely well attended booth at ICT Vienna 2018 and the last
stakeholder workshop in Tokyo, including a separate fruitful session with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.
In this report, we describe the activities of the project last half year; activities in year 1 and 2 were reported
already in Deliverables D7.3 (V1) and D7.6 (V2). However, in order to provide a complete picture, in theoverview tables we also list previous activities. Year 1 and year 2 activities are shown on a grey backgroundin these tables.
We conclude with an overall reflection on the dissemination efforts. The CPaaS.io team reached thedissemination targets according to DoA in the different areas; outstanding results were achieved in theareas of conference and workshop publications and demos at exhibitions and in cities. In particular withthe work towards the ETSI ISG CIM and AIOTI WG3, the project's work on Linked Data also contributed
significanty to standardisation in the area of IoT and Smart Cities.

1 Dissemination Activities
1.1 Public Website“Smart City Innovation is the goal of the CPaaS.io joint R&D project between Europe and Japan. This means
creating value for the society and all actors in the city environment – people, private enterprises, public
administrations. To achieve this, the CPaaS.io platform combines the capabilities of the Internet of Things(IoT), big data analytics and cloud service provisioning with Open Government Data and Linked Data
approaches.”

Figure 1: Results page on the CPaaS.io project 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:

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 visitor looks at about 4 pages, the site's main page, the Results
page and the Use Cases page being the most visited pages.

Figure 3: Number of visitors since we started measuring (as of December 29, 2018)

The Public Website was an important communication channel for the whole duration of the project. Visitors
peaks were registered during events, conferences and workshops. The ICT in Vienna as well as the TRON
Symposium led to an increase in hits at the end of December 2018.

1.2 Social MediaThe CpaaS.io team was active in different Social Media Channels with different impacts.
For the whole duration of the project we used Twitter (@cpaasio) to promote the project, informing about
new project results, tweets from events, as well as retweeting other interesting Smart City topics. In
December 2018 we had more than 77 tweets and approx. 45 followers.

Figure 4: Tweet from ICT 2018 in Vienna

Furthermore, we decided to disseminate several project presentations also via SlideShare (tagged with"cpaas.io"). It was a wise idea: We had been approached by several interested parties, especially students.

Additionally, we have opened a CPaaS.io LinkedIn group. However, this group has failed so far to get muchattention.
Nowadays we do strongly believe that an international R&D project needs to disseminate the main results,
achievements and products via social media. The CPaaS.io team was able to spread the main efforts online.
However, the desired impact failed to appear due to clearly restricted foreseen budget and resources (incl.
competencies) for the online communication.

1.3 Events
Events were without doubt one of the CPaaaS.io project most important communication assets. The team
set the agenda and organized several events in the Smart City and IoT area. It attended different A-eventsand academic conferences during the past 2.5 years. The project was highly visible, got different inputs
and was able to disseminate relevant results within academia, industry and public sector in several
countries.
Also, in the last six months the CPaaS.io project has made active contributions in several events, as shownin Table 2 (the new entries in the last 6 months are shown with a light yellow background at the end of thetable). Below follows a short description of the CPaaS.io contributions at these events, in chronologicalorder.
During the MURCIA SMART 2018 in October the CPaaS.io team moderated a session related to Smart
Cities and participated in another providing inputs regarding the Smart City Project carried out in Murcia.
With a focus on technology for the city, the successful event attracted several local representatives fromindustry and public sector (https://eventos.laverdad.es/smart-cities-murcia/).
The Spanish team was also promoting the CPaaS.io project during the IoT World Congress that took placein Barcelona, 16-19 October 2018. According to the official website, the event attracted 16’250 visitorsfrom 120 countries (http://www.iotsworldcongress.com/). The team had a booth and was able todisseminate several CPaaS.io results, as e.g. the smart parking solution and the usage of the FIWARE
platform for Smart City solutions. Furthermore, OdinS presented the deployment on Murcia City and thecollaboration within CPaaS.io in defining advanced services for user centric solutions.

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V3)In December, CPaaS.io participated in two important events: First from Dec. 4-6 at the ICT 2018 in Vienna,
where CPaaS.io ran a booth in the International Cooperation Village, and also presented in the networking
session on EU, Japan and Korea collaboration. In the booth, we explained about the project in general andshowed three demos, one showing the dashboard with the analyzed data from the Sapporo Snow Festival
and the Utrecht Color Run, and a second one demonstrating how FogFlow is used in Smart Parking in
Murcia. The discussions at the booth led to several leads for potential exploitation projects that will befollowed up upon in the coming months.

Figure 7: CPaaS.io booth at ICT Vienna

In the following week (Dec. 12-14) CPaaS.io was featured prominently at the TRON Symposium in Tokyo2:
At the entrance to the event, a multimedia theatre about the project and the different city use cases greeted
the visitors (see Figure 8). The project was also featured in Ken Sakamura's keynote speech, but thehighlight was certainly the second day of the symposium, which was dedicated to Smart City and the
CPaaS.io stakeholder cities. In the morning, Gov. Yuriko Koike explained the ICT strategy of Tokyo, and in
the afternoon the panel with the other cities was held, with representatives from Amsterdam, Murcia,
Sapporo, Yokosuka and Zurich, as well as with Martin Brynskov from the Open and Agile Smart Cities
initiative (OASC). Please refer to the separate deliverable D7.12, City Stakeholder Group Workshop III, formore details on this panel session. What become clear from that session was that the use of a platform
such as CPaaS.io really helps cities in supporting a multitude of applications, and that the cities have madea lot of progress since last year.

1.5 Co-Creation Events
The team believes that co-creation events are relevant for the development of sustainable smart citysolutions and the establishment of a data-driven culture. This is the main reason for supporting further
two open data events during the past six months and beyond the project.
From August 26th to 28th 2018, the yearly BärnHäckt hackathon3 took place on the premises of BFH. During
those three days, approximately 100 developers in 16 teams tackled challenges posed by 11 organizations.
CPaaS.io was responsible for one of these challenges – how to use open data and IoT data to improveurban logistics. One team decided to address this challenge, coming up with an innovation solution using
city logistics hubs and fine-grained delivery and pickup using cargo bikes, user apps and planning platform.

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V3)2 Standardisation Activities
2.1 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 the core 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 (both API and data model),the definition of which profited from the work of. NEC and OdinS in the CPaaS.io project. This enables aneasier merging of open linked data with Context Broker information from FIWARE. This is one of the core
topics of the CPaaS.io project. One major success here was that the FIWARE open source eco-system
adopts the NGSI-LD standard. They are going to upgrade their ORION context broker towards the NGSILD standard.

2.2 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.

2.3 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 a second white paper on Semantic
Interoperability. The work of CPaaS.io regarding JSON-LD plays and important role her. Several members
from standardisation organizations like oneM2M, ETIS ISG CIM, W3C Web-of-Things, PEE P2413, OASC,
and others are participating in this working group.

2.4 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
Framework for Planning a Smart City". The purpose of this guideline is according to the group's charter asfollows: "The proposed guideline takes into consideration both technology standards and protocols as well asprocess andplanning guidelines as a part of the overall framework. This guideline provides a process thatallows for deployments to be reflective of theneeds of constituents in a given area and enable data to drive
best practices decisions that use technology as a tool to improve outcomes forpeople. This framework will

Dissemination and Standardisation Report (V3)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.

3 Mentions in the Press
Table 11 shows 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 #60 7 , 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 13). A report on thelast workshop in December is also expected to appear around February 2019.

4 Overall reflection
With targeting cities, industries, academia and students the CPaaS.io team identified and implemented a
successful general dissemination strategy. We published several scientific papers at relevant conferences
and technical magazines, wrote different book chapters, gave talks to city officials and other interested
parties and intermediaries, and disseminated the project results via web site and social media. The local
and international engagement in demos, city workshops, and standardization activities was crucial for the
impact and the further activities.
We were able to close the project with two major events – the booth showing federated demos between
EU and Japan at the ICT 2018 in Vienna and the project partners’ booths at the TRON Symposium in Tokyo.
The interest shown is an acknowledgment for the work done in the past years.
The last city stakeholder workshop in Tokyo validated several projects results and raised very interesting
issues to address in future projects.
