     <p>November, 2020 - Revision history is at end of document</p>
     <h2>Introduction to IoT</h2>
     <p>Many industry domains such as smart metering, energy management, inventory control, fleet
       management, healthcare, and security have an inherent need for technology, products and
       solutions that interface physical world events from sensors, actuators and other types of
       devices, with Enterprise and Web applications. IoT technology enables these domains,
       supporting not only the devices and device networks, but also integration with a wide range of
       enterprise middleware and Web programming models.</p>
     <p>An IoT solution is generally composed of:</p>
     <ul>
       <li />
       <p>Physical assets and devices (sensors, actuators, controllers, LCD display, etc.)</p>
       <li />
       <p>IoT Gateway to manage assets and server communication. These include communication modules
         with wireless connectivity (GPRS, 3G, WiFi, Wimax, etc.)</p>
       <li />
       <p>Monitoring or other domain-specific server infrastructure, with which gateways,
         communication modules and assets in the field communicate.</p>
     </ul>
     <p>Usually, the IoT server infrastructure has to be interfaced with other information systems.
       Examples are telecom operators (e.g. SIM card subscription management or billing), and
       enterprise systems (e.g. cargo tracking and vehicle maintenance). An IoT server also needs to
       expose interfaces allowing third-party applications to access collected data, accept and
       process control functions, and to perform management and provisioning operations on modules
       and assets in the field.</p>
     <h2>Concerns Addressed by the Eclipse IoT Working Group</h2>
     <p>The objective of the IoT Working group is to encourage, develop, and promote open source
       solutions that can be used to overcome market inhibitors found in most IoT ecosystems, such
       as:</p>
     <ul>
       <li />
       <p>Fragmented market: wide range of embedded platforms, programming models, connection types,
         communication protocols.</p>
       <li />
       <p>No widely accepted IoT architectural guidelines.</p>
       <li />
       <p>Limited choices in accepted open, standard communication protocols to deal with IoT
         requirements and constraints such as; power, CPU, cost, connection availability, and
         bandwidth.</p>
       <li />
       <p>Unnecessarily tight coupling between applications, systems and communication interfaces.</p>
       <li />
       <p>Lack of Open Source IoT development solutions (development environment, development boards)</p>
       <li />
       <p>Lack of integration with open source Enterprise and Web development tools and environments.</p>
       <li />
       <p>Monolithic applications and lack of reusable software components (e.g. drivers,
         communication protocols)</p>
       <li />
       <p>High barrier of entry to developers who need to integrate IoT, Enterprise, and Web
         application systems. e.g. hardware and infrastructure costs, no relevant software
         engineering environment, proprietary interfaces, numerous and complex programming models.</p>
       <li />
       <p>Inadequate open source support for IoT-oriented middleware, including IoT integration with
         established middleware solutions.</p>
     </ul>
     <h2>Purpose and scope of the Working Group</h2>
     <p>The Eclipse Foundation is a place where people collaborate to deliver exemplary, extensible
       tools, frameworks and runtime components. The IoT Working Group aims at defining an open
       development environment and key runtimes for IoT solutions that will enable open solutions.
       The IoT Working Group will address the following topics:</p>
     <ul>
       <li />
       <p>Development tools, including simulators/emulators</p>
       <li />
       <p>Reference architecture and programming model</p>
       <li />
       <p>Effective decoupling between applications, systems and communication interfaces</p>
       <li />
       <p>Open and standard communication protocols</p>
       <li />
       <p>Open and standard APIs (embedded &amp; server).</p>
       <li />
       <p>Frameworks and services for IoT gateways and IoT Cloud platforms</p>
       <li />
       <p>Communicate and evangelize the solutions produced by the IoT WG</p>
     </ul>
     <h2>Connections with other standards and industry groups</h2>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will also work in collaboration with other IoT Industry Groups
       and Standards organizations in order to avoid fragmentation and duplication of effort,
       including groups like oneM2M, OASIS, OMA, IETF, IIC and others.</p>
     <h2>Work areas</h2>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will work on the following topics:</p>
     <h3>IoT software components</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will identify and specify software components needed to
       efficiently develop IoT solutions (communication services, industrial protocol
       implementations).</p>
     <h3>IoT use cases</h3>
     <p>The IoT working group will identify and maintain common use cases that represent typical IoT
       environments. The goal is to highlight the capabilities and requirements that need to be
       standardized to ensure open interoperability, portability, reusability, and ease of
       integration.</p>
     <h3>Reference architecture</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will work on the definition of a set of architectural
       guidelines (&quot;IoT Blueprints&quot;) for IoT solutions, derived from the identified use
       cases.</p>
     <h3>IoT tooling</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will work on the requirements and specifications to support
       the integration of IoT tooling, with relevant Eclipse tooling that is used by developers of
       the Enterprise and Web applications who integrate with IoT embedded and server applications.</p>
     <h3>Open IoT Specifications and Standards</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will identify, reference and provide implementations of open
       specifications and standards that support the development and deployment of IoT solutions. The
       Working Group may also be responsible for defining compatibility test suites for IoT
       specifications and in some cases creating and maintaining an IoT specification.</p>
     <h3>APIs</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will work on the definition of Application Programming
       Interfaces both on the embedded and on the server-side in order to help increase the
       modularity, extensibility and effective decoupling of IoT solutions.</p>
     <h3>IoT software components repository</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will define the technical requirements for allowing the
       delivery of IoT-oriented software components (industrial protocol drivers, embedded devices
       models, code generators, etc.) via the Eclipse Marketplace.</p>
     <h3>IoT &quot;hacker place&quot; and sandbox</h3>
     <p>Because IoT development requires actual hardware, and likely prepaid airtime, in order to
       perform end-to-end experiments, the IoT Working Group may work on the definition of a
       so-called &quot;hacker place&quot;, which will take the form of a website easing the ordering
       of IoT developer kits (development boards, wireless sensors, 3G modems, etc.). The IoT Working
       Group will work together with the Eclipse Foundation and hardware providers to propose
       discounts on developer kits, airtime, etc.</p>
     <p>Developing and testing IoT integration with Enterprise and Web applications requires access
       to middleware, monitoring servers, enterprise servers and various Web application interfaces.
       The IoT Working Group will work to define and promote the availability of a
       &quot;sandbox&quot; of accessible server environments for the development, testing and
       integration of IoT systems with Enterprise, Web, and cloud-based software to developers using
       Eclipse IoT tools and runtimes.</p>
     <h3>Communication and Evangelism</h3>
     <p>The IoT Working Group will work to communicate and evangelize the solutions
       developed by the IoT WG. The activities may include joint press releases, joint trade show
       participation, publishing white papers and/or preparing other content that communicates the
       vision and solutions of the WG.</p>
