Motivation
 First wave of IoT research and IoT deployments is
predominantly enterprise centric
 Large disconnection between humans and IoT can hinder the
success of IoT
‐ Mistrust in IoT and lack of user control can lead to opposition and lack of
acceptance
‐ Lack of human centric information on the IoT restraints innovation and
business in this domain
 Learning the lessons from transforming the Internet through
the World Wide Web

Main idea
 Enable a citizen-inclusive and pro-citizen second wave
of the IoT
‐ Encourage citizen participation in the IoT to boost (societal)
innovation
‐ Provide direct benefits to citizens, help addressing true needs of
neighbourhood, communities and society at large
‐ Put control into the hand of the citizen on who can access
information

Approach
 Design and provide key enablers for a reliable, secure and
trusted IoT environment by encouraging people to
contribute their IoT devices and information flows.
 Provide a citizen-centric IoT approach towards creation of
large-scale IoT solutions of interest to the society in order
to exploit billions of new IoT information streams.
 By equipping communities with secure and trusted tools
that increase user confidence in IoT environment, enable
their transition to smart neighbourhoods, communities
and cities.

Key target outcomes
A governance, trust and reputation framework combining a set of
innovative enablers that addresses the challenges of massive crowd-sourced
IoT infrastructure.
A privacy-preserving context-sensitive communication framework for IoT
devices with adequate security enablers.
A detailed understanding of technological and socio-economic barriers for
citizen participation in an IoT.
An intuitive environment inspired by social media tools that provides
increased awareness and controls and empowers citizens to easily manage
access to IoT devices and information, while allowing IoT enabled citizen
centric services to be created through open community APIs.
Services piloted in two cities demonstrating the value of SocIoTal to real
word communities.
