INSTAR Standards

🙌 As the year draws to a close, we would like to extend our warmest wishes for a restful holiday season and a successful start to 2025. This first year has been filled with progress and collaboration toward our goal: 💡 70+ European Task Forces experts. 📄 60+ EU Standardisation priorities identified. 👀 660+ reports views and downloads on our Zenodo community. Thank you to all our partners, Task Forces experts and community members for contributing to our activities and shared goals. 🚀 Here’s to Shaping international standards for advanced technologies together in 2025!

💼 In parallel to the Workshop on Cross-Domain Standardisation and Architecture for IoT and Edge Computing held last November, we hosted the first Steering Board Meeting of the INSTAR/TTA - Telecommunications Technology Association, with members from the Global Standards Cooperation Centre and Standardisation Division at #TTA. 🤝 During the meeting, we discussed how to drive forward the EU-South Korea 🇪🇺🇰🇷 dialogue, the sharing mutual #roadmaps, understanding #priorities and #gaps for the future, especially around #testing, #conformityassessments and routes to the adoption of best practices. 💡 This launch meeting served as a practical follow up to the MoU signed between the TTA and the INSTAR project back in September, signed to help strengthen the EU-South Korea #DigitalPartnership.

With these smiley faces, we're waving goodbye to the first of the two-day workshop on Cross-Domain Standardisation and Architecture for IoT and Edge Computing! 👋🏻 Thanks to all who attended, thanks to all the panelists, but most of all, thanks to this amazing consortium that made this workshop today an interesting and insightful day!

As last hurrah of the day we have Tanya Suarez Ph.D., CEO of BluSpecs and coordinator of #INSTAR, and Hahn Thomas, from Siemens, conducting a #firesidechat, on "lessons in scaling tech adoption from a Market leader". 🎙️ Tanya Suarez started off by reading a bit from Ursula von der Leyen's Mission Letter to Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President-designate for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy: "We need to work to promote EU digital norms and standards internationally and to ensure a leading role for the EU in global digital governance, in particular for AI and cybersecurity." 🎙️ Thomas Hahn continued the discussion by talking about scaling interoperable standards: "Scaling interoperability standards requires a healthy ecosystem, continuous service innovation, and unlocking the unrealised value of data."

📢 Starting the last panel of the day with an engaging word-cloud session that highlighted the key word of the day as being #interoperability, is Silvana Muscella, CEO of Trust-IT Services and #cybersecurity #ETF leader. With her on stage are Dr. Katerina Poustourli (International Hellenic University, CEN/CENELEC STAIR Expert), David Raggett (W3C), and Laurent Schmitt (Digital4Grids), discussing together how to scale up #standards from pilots to #international actions. 🎙️ Katerina Poustourli: "Testing new standards in real environments is crucial, supported by diverse expert consortia and aligned with global challenges and performance metrics." 🎙️ Dave Raggett: "To advance standardisation, we must address the risks and costs of early deployment, support national procurement, and ensure knowledge retention from completed projects to feed use cases into standardisation activities." 🎙️ Laurent Schmitt: "Pilots are going to drive harmonisation, they are bottom-up driven by industry. We have been able to define a minimum data exchange in the grid industry. There is a gap in certifying and testing. Do we go into more formal certification? It depends how we test interoperability of standards." Join the last bits of the #day1 of the workshop now! https://lnkd.in/dPKQEM6N

📢 From Digital4Grids, Laurent Schmitt is joining the workshop to talk about a new API standard for behind the meter flexibility management. 🎙️ “Interoperability is key, as grid operators use Digital Twins to standardise interfaces, focusing on applying existing standards to enable edge-operating devices and manage flexibility.” Join the workshop! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dPKQEM6N 

📢 EEBUS Initiative e.V. Managing Director, Robert Boehm is with us today to present eebus as an emerging standard connecting appliances and its main characteristics. 🎙️“Why is it essential to have a standard around device control? More and more players want to influence the behaviour of the end consumers; eebus provides this standardised interface for the GCP to coordinate these signals.” Join the workshop! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dPKQEM6N

After the afternoon coffee ☕️ break , we have the honour and pleasure to have with us David Raggett, computer scientist and W3C Fellow at the World Wide Web Consortium. He is giving a presentation on the challenges to overcome for IoT applications and standards, introducing the role of AI as a way of reducing the burden on the cloud by preprocessing at the edge— for videos, for example. 🎙️ "We need clean, simple, easy to understand approaches that hide the underlying complexity of this process. Descriptions in terms of classes, properties and relationships, a behaviour modelled in terms of events, facts and rules to encourage the realisation of the benefits of the IoT."
