Re: [m2m-iwg] M2M Top-Level Project Charter Draft

Kai/all,

Thanks a lot for your input. A good point, and +1 for IoT as mentioned before.
While I don't want to reply to more than a subject, the SCADA thread here is equally important, certainly not just to Kai or myself. And probably a bit harder (given its sheer size and sub-projects) SCADA shall also find its places under such M2M or IoT (or whatever the name ends up being) umbrella.

For now, boht SCADA and Ponte probably best belong in the "Incubator" chapter, unless this is just a "playground" by itself for other smaller projects and initiatives?

You raised a good question about the layers for Sensor Web and IoT/M2M.
Several sources tend to answer it slightly different. This one suggests 3, probably by slightly different names than ISO/OSI: http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXVI/part1/Papers/T06-25.pdf
Some of these suggest more:

or even a bit older article related to Zigbee:

Hi Benjamin,

I quite like the charter! And I have a VERY boring suggestion for the naming: Eclipse IoT :-)
I know, a big buzzword and its hype might be over one day, but at the moment I would actually see it as the most descriptive and appropriate, so I wanted to throw it into the discussion.

In the scope section you write:
"Implementation of communication protocols applicable to M2M communications due to their nature (bandwidth efficiency, security, ?)"
Looking from the Home Automation perspective, I think this is a too narrow scope. For HA, the M2M communication part is not so important, but rather the protocol that is used to communicate with different gateways. Just to give you an example: For the EnOcean protocol (see http://www.enocean.com/en/energy-harvesting-wireless/), it is not so interesting to understand what goes over the radio (what is very constrained), but how to communicate with the usb radio stick over the serial interface. So I think the protocol scope would actually boil down to "Implementation of communication protocols". Open question would be: Which OSI layers would be in scope here? Is 4-7 enough or would you also see layers 1-3 in the scope?

Best regards,
Kai
