Then again, it’s not only about devices, it is about connected objects! Or rather about “connecting entities of interest”

iCore is not a “Yet Another Project On”…
… sensing technologies, RFIDs and WSNs

Virtualisation of RWOs
• A virtual representation of real world objects– Things‐ abstraction of the features– Devices‐ abstraction of the resources/assets
• VO is an abstraction (or representation) of real objects enriched with features which facilitate reusability, reliability and promote a more “cognitive” use of objects

iCore concept
Open cognitive framework for the Internet of Things (IoT) addressing three levels:
– Virtual Objects (VOs): Virtual representations of real‐world objects
– Composite Virtual Objects (CVOs): Cognitive mash‐ups of multiple VOs
– Users/stakeholders perspectives
iCore technologies and mechanisms will be defined independent of a particular application domain or use case

iCore technical approach
virtual objects (simple and composite)• cognitive mechanisms (self‐management and learning capabilities)
–offering information and knowledge on the RWO/DO context of operation (e.g., location, availability of energy, computing, storage, communication resources, etc.) and profile (capabilities)
– transforming/deriving raw measurements into knowledge– corresponding to the end‐users/stakeholders requirements
• VOs enable sharing of data and resources in the IoT, which through iCore becomes application domain and initial context agnostic– e.g. a traffic monitoring/security camera can be used for the creation of the digital representation of any RWO
• resolution of confidentiality/privacy aspects• interaction/interoperability with other components, at the different
layers of the ISO/OSI stack

iCore identity management
• identity of objects (representation)• identity of users• maintaining identity throughout the service lifecycle
… it’s about security and dependability!
FIA ‐ IoT Applications and FI Architectures
iCore identity management
• Availability• Confidentiality• Integrity• Authentication• Non‐repudiation
… the way iCore is implementing this is on the VO level.
