Open Sensor Data Management in the Industrial IoT
ORGANIZED BY
Thomas Usländer
Fraunhofer IOSB
ABSTRACT
The management of sensor data in an open manner is becoming crucial for the generation of a dynamic
ecosystem of applications and business models in private-public-partnerships, respectively.
Open hereby means the application of international standards and their profiled specification as part of an IIoT
infrastructure, e.g. as part of a Smart City. Open may also refer to open data and Open APIs.
The special session wants to motivate this approach and discuss the various standards and open architecture, especially but not exclusively in the domain of industrial production (Industrie 4.0), smart environment and smart cities.
