PISCATAWAY, N.J. June 12, 2014 (Korea Bizwire)–IEEE, the world’s largest professional organization advancing technology  for humanity, today launched a new standards development project, IEEE  P2413™, “IEEE Standard for an Architectural Framework for the Internet  of Things (IoT).” Upon completion, the standard will provide a robust  architectural framework for the IoT, reducing market fragmentation,  improving interoperability, and serving as a catalyst for continued IoT  growth and advancement. The first meeting of the IEEE P2413 Working  Group (WG) will take place July 10 – 11, 2014, in Munich, Germany.

“This is one of those rare watershed moments, where the world gets to  witness the dawn of a new age of technology innovation. The growing  intersection of smart technologies and high-speed communications will  produce profound, positive changes in nearly every aspect of our daily  lives,” said Oleg Logvinov, chair, IEEE P2413 WG; and director, special  assignments, Industrial and Power Conversion Division,  STMicroelectronics. “Smart cities, homes, and workplaces; e-health;  resilient, self-healing power grids; digital factories; cleaner  transportation; immersive entertainment – these are just a few areas of  economic opportunity that would benefit from the increased  interoperability and portability that a standardized IoT architecture  brings.”

IEEE-SA authorized both IEEE P2413’s Project Authorization Request (PAR)  and the inaugural meeting of the project’s WG, allowing development  efforts to begin. The WG aims to produce an IoT architectural framework  and reference model, facilitating a unified approach to constructing  critical IoT systems and infrastructures. Additionally, addressing key  issues in security, privacy, and safety will be an important part of the  group’s work. As the IoT moves into its next stage of evolution, it will  require a data abstraction blueprint and a set of basic building blocks  that can be easily integrated into multi-tiered systems. By providing  these common elements, IEEE P2413 will help minimize industry and  vertical market fragmentation, ease implementation of cross-domain  applications, and ensure the IoT achieves critical mass on a global  scale.

Additionally, the WG will work to liaise with other standards bodies and  standards development organizations in disciplines where the IoT will  have significant impact, such as manufacturing and healthcare. Working  collaboratively with other key stakeholders will help build industry  consensus, enabling faster development of underlying IoT frameworks and  accelerating the overall technology innovation cycle.
