CASAGRAS Goal
CASAGRASCoordination And Support Actionfor Global RFID-related Activities and Standardisation
With particular reference to the Internet of ThingsGoal of CASAGRAS has focused on understanding the nature and requirements for the Internet of Things• How it is defined• How it relates to objects and interfacing with the Physical world• How it aligns with developments in the Internet• The nature of the supporting infrastructure and architecture• The various dimensions of consideration for applications• The various dimensions of international cooperation required
CASAGRAS working with
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
Supply Chain Innovation Centre (Hong Kong, China)
YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory (Japan)
Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute (ETRI, Korea)
FEIG Electronics GmbH (Germany)
QED (USA – company specialising in international standardisation)
AIM (UK) and European Centre for AIDC
Also collaborating with GRIFS (Global RFID Interoperability Forum for Standards, EPoSS (European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration and a number of sub-contractors)
CASAGRAS work packages
1. Standards and Procedures for International Standardisation in relation to RFID, including applications and conformance standards
2. Regulatory issues in respect of RFID standards
3. Global coding systems in relation to RFID standards
4. RFID in relation to Ubiquitous Computing and Networks
5. Functional, including sensory, developments in RFID and Associated Standards
6. Areas of Application, existing and future, and associated Standards
7. Socio-economic components of RFID Usage
Emphasis on work packages 3-6
Internet of Things in 2020 – declares that the definition of Internet of Things “has still some fuzziness” – “Things having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social, environmental and user contexts” - Functionality & Identity focus
“Interconnected objects having an active role in what might be called the Future Internet”- Seamless integration
“A world-wide network of interconnected objects uniquely addressable, based on standard communication protocols” – Semantic
Caveat lector – Let the reader beware – beware too the hype
CASAGRAS viewing the definitions
CASAGRAS Definition
CASAGRAS Meeting – 1st December 2008 – Shanghai
Internet of Things – CASAGRAS Definition
A global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the exploitation of data capture and communication capabilities. This infrastructure includes existing and evolving Internet and network developments. It will offer specific object-identification, sensor and connection capability as the basis for the development of independent federated services and applications. These will be characterised by a high degree of autonomous data capture, transfer event network connectivity and interoperability.
CASAGRAS Meeting – 1st December – Shanghai
Internet of Things – CASAGRAS Vision statement
A world where things can automatically communicate to computers and each other providing services for the benefits of human kind.

1. Based upon a profound understanding of object space
2. Embracing a fully inclusive range of ‘edge’ technologies
3. Tackling the global coding problem and linking with IP
4. Exploiting existing and evolving communications and mobility structures
5. Exploiting developments in computing and network ubiquity
6. Integration with the evolving Internet – Web2 and the Semantic web
7. Service oriented architecture and the applications’ space
8. Recognising the need for appropriate Governance
CASAGRAS Inclusive Model
1. Based upon a profound understanding of object space and networking potential – impacts upon architectural and functional needs:
How and why objects should be grouped and networked
Object grouping as a basis for applications and services
Basis for business, object-based processes Object-connectivity and data transfer
considerations

5. Exploiting developments in computing and network ubiquity, particularly with respect to:
Embedded processing and communication platforms Intelligent processing ‘Intelligent’ sensors and sensor networks Heterogeneous network integration
CASAGRAS Inclusive Model
6. Integration with the evolving Internet – Web2 and the Semantic web
Exploiting the Internet protocol (IP) and the use of IPv6 – established, stable, highly scalable communication technology
Accommodating edge technologies since IP is not able to completely accommodate such needs directly (see 3)
Prospect of new domains (wow.) and associated service support structures and service oriented architecture (SOA)
CASAGRAS Inclusive Model
7. Service oriented architecture and the applications’ space:
Exploiting developments in service oriented architecture (SOA)
Exploiting the capability of ‘Internet’ connectivity and reach in in services and applications, eg:
Exploiting developments in object-connected ICT and opportunities for multiple identification and network supported functionality in business processes (Extended Process Functionality)
CASAGRAS Inclusive Model
8. Governance, security and socio-economic factors:
Central – De-central debate
Revenue models
Registration and control
Integration & Internet
Security, safety, domestic and public interaction, waste and the environment
Object-associated personal privacy issues
And there is of course Standards, Standards and Standards!
