1 Industrial Internet Connectivity Framework (IICF) IIC Liaison Workshop with onem2m Dr. Rajive Joshi Co-Chair, Connectivity Task Group, Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) Principal Solution Architect, Real-Time Innovations Inc (RTI) 2018 Feb 08 16:30

2 Industrial Internet Connectivity Framework (IICF) Released Feb 28, 2017 Comprehensive treatment of Connectivity as a means of Building Interoperable IIoT systems 2

3 IICF : A Roadmap for IoT Practitioners & System Architects Rich Landscape of Connectivity Guide Map What is the role of connectivity in an IIoT architecture? What connectivity layers does an IIoT system need, and what are each layer s core functions, considerations and trade-offs? How can communication extend from a generic IIoT design to participants using a domain-specific connectivity technology? What must core connectivity standards provide? How to categorize and evaluate a given connectivity technology? How to assess suitability of a connectivity technology against system requirements? How to choose the right core connectivity standard for a problem domain?

4 IICF Goals Guide map to the rich but often confusing landscape of IIoT connectivity Clarity Stable long term foundation for IIoT interoperability Industry Connectivity Architecture Useful, practical, tangible guidance for requirements assessment, technology evaluation and selection For IIC Member use only.

22 How to Assess a Connectivity Technology? Assessment Template Worksheet Business, Usage, Functional, Implementation Viewpoints

23 Assessment Template Distributed Data Interoperability and Management Framework Transport Network Link Physical Which layers(s) of the Connectivity Stack does it provide? May span multiple layers What Core Functions does it provide? Prioritize the functions for your use case How does it rank against the Typical Considerations (of the layers spanned)? Prioritize the considerations for your use case How does it support the Architectural Qualities? Prioritize the qualities for your use case Does it fit Connectivity Core Standards Criteria? Is a gateway to a Core Connectivity Standard available? Is the gateway standardized?
