Executive Summary
The Initial Plan for using and disseminating knowledge is the main reference for dissemination of the project
activities and a supporting tool for consortium management, containing guidelines for project partners on
identifying and exploiting communication opportunities, including procedures to be respected in that
framework.
The objectives of dissemination have defined the related strategy aimed to guarantee a proper diffusion of
knowledge and project results as well as secure maximum impact. Within the SMARTIE project structure,
WP7 is responsible for dissemination and outreach activities while receiving contributions from the other
work packages. In that sense the objectives of this work package covered by this deliverable are:
- Prepare a detailed dissemination and exploitation plan, monitor the execution and update if necessary.
- Launch and maintain the project webpage.
- Achieve a high visibility of the project within the field of the Internet of Things and Smart Cities, in the
scientific community and within the public in general.
- Interact and participate in standardization organizations.
This document starts describing shortly the WP structure and where dissemination and this deliverable fits
into it. Then it describes the different conditions, procedures and obligations linked to dissemination, like the
Intellectual property rights for dissemination.
The key aspects of the dissemination plan are then presented as the target stakeholder groups, before
detailing the proposed activities through the identified relevant channels. These dissemination activities
include: Logo, Website, brochure, media, publications and workshops.
A detailed work plan of these activities is also included as well as a calendar of relevant external conferences
where to disseminate the project results. The deliverable also devotes a section to the description of the
project contribution to standards and on-going standardisation activities.
Proper presentation and dissemination of the project results among all potentially concerned stakeholders and
users will bring opportunities for the SMARTIE partners. Dissemination is thus a crucial activity as its
related strategy since the planned activities to communicate the project results are from the start linked to
their subsequent market exploitation.

Introduction
D7.1: Initial Plan for using and disseminating knowledge will detail the planned dissemination activities of
the consortium. It will identify workshops, conferences and journals that should be targeted for reaching the
right scientific audience. The report will also present the project webpage and the project flyer.
The main objective of the dissemination plan is to guarantee proper diffusion of knowledge and project
results according to an agreed strategy aimed to secure maximum impact.
The dissemination plan is the main guideline for dissemination of the project activities and it is one of first
main tasks of the project. It will be a supporting tool for consortium management, containing guidelines for
project partners on identifying and exploiting communication opportunities, guidance on document
preparation (project identity, templates, approval procedures, etc.).
The present initial version of the document will be reviewed and updated during the project lifetime to reflect
new opportunities for dissemination. Namely, for ensuring a successful dissemination policy, specific
dissemination plans will be delivered one more time (at Month 36 D7.3: Final Plan for using and
disseminating knowledge). This policy will ensure a proper dissemination planning of the project activities
for the following year while enabling to report the actions scheduled and performed previously.
The dissemination plan should not be confused with the exploitation plan which presents partners’ intentions
for the exploitation and implementation of their achievements in the project (which will be mainly addressed
in the scope of the task T7.2 and reflected in D7.2: Exploitation Plan and Business Opportunities).
The dissemination plan is aimed at the following audiences and respectively at the fulfilment of the
following objectives:

European Commission: to communicate the project strategy and planned activities;

Consortium partners: to inform them about procedures and give them guidelines in their individual
dissemination activities in order to ensure consistency and proper use of the project image;

Project Management bodies: to provide an overview of activities, tools and procedures for
dissemination to agree on;

Others: any external individual or entity interested in the public results achieved within the scope of
the SMARTIE project;

Organization & scope of the work
Within the SMARTIE project structure, WP7 is responsible for dissemination and outreach activities to
communicate the project’s technical progress and results to the main stakeholder communities expected to
use or benefit from the project’s results.
The objectives of this work package are:

Prepare a detailed dissemination and exploitation plan, monitor the execution and update if
necessary.

Launch and maintain the project webpage.

Achieve a high visibility of the project within the field of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart
Cities, in the scientific community and within the public in general.

Identify key players for targeted industrial dissemination and exploitation in order to create the
ecosystem for industrial take-up or project results.

Interact and participate in standardization organisations.

Prepare the exploitation of project results.
2.1
Dissemination work plan
To coordinate and plan the different dissemination activities, a detailed Dissemination plan will be developed
on consortium and on partner level at the beginning of the project. In order to successfully disseminate and
communicate SMARTIE results, the following points will be considered:






Web Presence: At the beginning of the project a web site providing information about the project’s
objectives, its research goals, its technologies, and its publications will be established and
popularized. The project’s Web site will be an effective and professional public channel and reliable
information resource.
Public Events: From the beginning of the project, project members will actively contribute to
relevant workshops, conferences and concertation meetings, in order to spread the innovative ideas
of the project and to attract public interest in the project.
Conferences: Talks and presentations will be held at industrial and academic conferences and trade
shows. Papers and scientific publications will be presented at these conferences.
Publications: Technical and scientific articles will be published in magazines and academic
journals. University partners will focus on the scientific publications and papers to be presented at
academic conferences and in academic journals whereas the industrial partners will focus primarily
on trade shows, commercial conferences and commercial and customer oriented literature.
Technical workshops: Within the project partners will be invited to present their project results to a
broader group of researchers, designers and managers. A final dedicated workshop for all potential
stakeholders and vendors (end-users) will be organised.
Scientific workshops: Dedicated workshops and/or sessions will be organized in the scientific
community, in order to foster the exchange of scientific knowledge beyond the project. We foresee
approximately yearly workshops which might be co-located with larger scientific conferences in
order to reduce travel time and costs, and to attract high-quality scientists working in the field of
usable security. We will use the possibility that the established workshops organized by UMU like
PITSaC and EsIoT mentioned below, offer to SMARTIE to organize these sessions.

Demonstrations and Exhibits: Within the second year of the project, SMARTIE will have
developed demonstrators and prototypes which will be used at workshops, conferences and
concertation meetings to demonstrate the project’s potential and to foster engagement. Moreover,
SMARTIE will make use of dissemination channels such as YouTube™ to make the results
accessible to a broad range of people.
Dissemination in the Scientific Community
The project includes a collection of high level research and universities groups with well known reputation
that frequently publish in the high referenced journals in the ICT environment. Additionally, some of the key
names of these centres are participating as associate editors of international journals and as Program
Committee members of several international conferences. It is then expected that the results of the project
will be published in several of the most known conferences like ACM CCS, ACM SACMAT, AReS
Security&Usability, IFIP SEC, TrustBus, CHI, HCII, SOUPS, etc., and journals like IEEE Communication
Magazine, Computer Networks, IEEE Security & Privacy, ACM Communication etc. Also to mention that
partners are already associated editors of journals like IEEE Trans SMC Part B and other like Security and
Communication Networks, or Elsevier Computer Standards and Interfaces, what will provide possible
journals to look for a Special Issue related to the project results.
We will use the possibilities of dissemination of existing channels like the Workshop PITSaC on Pervasive
Internet of Things for Smart Cities http://ants-webs.inf.um.es/conferences/pitsac/?m=0 and the esIoT
conference organized both by UMU. UMU will also be chairing a SAC session on IoT on next Globecom
conference that will also be a relevant point to disseminate results. The following conferences and journals
are to be targeted during the project period, expecting at least to be able to publish 15 papers related to the
project:
Directly related conferences and journals and those where the partners have already published

IEEE International Symposium on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks (POLICY)

ACM Symposium on Access control Models and Technologies (SACMAT)

Symposium On Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS)

ACM CSS (Workshop SafeConfig)

IEEE Int. Conf. on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI)

Computer Networks

IET Information Security

IEEE Trans, System Man and Cybernetics, Part B and Part C
Other conferences:

IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS)

IEEE Globecom

IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)

SECUSAB

IFIP SEC
Additionally and due to the high impact of the possible results expected from the project, several PhD
students will be enrolled and it will be expected that the project research results will help them to obtain the
PhD. It is expected to have around 5 new PhD students during the project period.

2.2
Dissemination
The WP7 Exploitation, dissemination, standardisation Work Package is organised around two separate tasks:
Task 7.1: Dissemination (UMU) [M1 – M36]
This task includes the proactive dissemination of project information and results to a broad public audience.
Suitable PR material such as leaflets, press releases etc. will be prepared as appropriate. The project will
actively participate in the activities organised at programme level relating to the ICT Communication and
Network Technologies (concertation / cluster activities). To disseminate project results into the research
community, papers will be published at conferences and in journals with a focus on high visibility. A
workshop on trust and security in smart city applications will be organised to increase the mindfulness of
security issues in the IoT and smart city applications (see example of actual chairing of workshop in the area
from partners in section 3.2). A final dedicated workshop for all potential stakeholders and vendors (endusers) will be organised to demonstrate the possibilities for new developments in the Smart City market and
the potentiality for increasing the market share.
Task 7.2: Standardisation and exploitation (NEC) [M1 – M36]
An active approach towards exploitation of results will be carried out within the project. Exploitation will be
based on appropriate technology assessment, market conditions analysis and business opportunities analysis.
Yearly business workshops specifically targeting stakeholders in the smart city field will be organized to
support a wider uptake of SMARTIE technologies.
Through this proactive effort, the project will prepare a smooth path to include the results into products,
services, feed them into further research or development activities, but also into the generation of new
business e.g. as spin-offs from companies and universities. This task includes also the co-ordination of the
standardisation activities of the consortium.

Deliverable D7.1
Participation and contributions to European Commission (EC) concertation and cluster
meetings: SMARTIE is dealing with a large number of activities and addresses a set of technologies
within the interest of the EC. Therefore, SMARTIE should play an active role in the EC concertation
meetings and especially The European Research Cluster on the Internet of Things (IERC) activities,
since it is an efficient way to disseminate results in the EC domain. In addition this will assist the
collaboration with other organizations and projects. The results will be presented in form of
presentation and possible demonstrations during the events. This will attract other working groups
having similar interests, and also strengthen the research network.
Liaisons establishment with other projects and activities: Liaison with other projects is the way
to coordinate the activities of SMARTIE considering the on-going activities in other projects. For
that reason, liaison delegates should be identified for the projects and organizations.
Dissemination towards Standards
To ensure the benefits of new technologies applied, there is a need to actively co-operate with the respective
standardization bodies. This co-operation comprises the tracking of relevant innovations, the contribution to
the standardization processes in relevant fields, as well as the transfer of the most relevant research findings
of SMARTIE to the corresponding respective standardization bodies.
Specific standardization organisations and the expected contributions are listed in the following:




ETSI: ETSI is a leading European standardization organization represented in the Industry Advisory
Board. We will propose ETSI the creation of an Industry Standardisation Group (ISG) to support the
development of IoT standards in terms of architecture and security.
IETF: Its mission is to make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant technical
documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet. The IETF has
designed IPv6 and is in the process of designing a compressed version of IPv6 for smart objects.
UMU has co-organized last years an EU-IAB workshop on Secure Smart Objects, hence SMARTIE
will follow this activity and also will contribute to the work of the CoRE and CoAP WG at the IETF.
OASIS: OASIS is driving the development of open standards for the global information society. The
consortium produces more Web services standards than any other organization along with standards
for security, e-business and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific
markets. Founded in 1993, OASIS has more than 5,000 participants representing over 600
organizations and individual members in 100 countries.
ISO TC215:, The developments and outcomes within the SMARTIE project will push the current
boundaries in a number of areas, in particular within the security and data privacy mechanisms.
Therefore, DNET with the rest of consortium will promote these principles within the ISO TC215
standard in the working group 4 dealing with Privacy and Security.

Conditions for dissemination
EU projects are legally bound by the terms of the Grant Agreement. Annex II [1] contains some relevant
provisions regarding communication. A guide for project participants” [2] summarizes some of the main
conditions of this agreement and provides a useful set of guidelines to be considered for the dissemination. It
constitutes a useful tool to communicate about the results achieved during the project. Moreover, the
Consortium Agreement is another important document that regulates the particular terms to which the
SMARTIE project is bound. These documents govern the specific conditions for dissemination to be taken
into account during the project duration.
3.1
Approval procedures
Consortium partners should inform sufficiently in advance the Project Management Committee and the
Dissemination Manager prior to any of the following external communications, to allow for comments or
raise and clarify any concerns:

presentations of the SMARTIE vision or results at external events;

newsletters, brochures, flyers, posters, web content by their own organisation presenting the
SMARTIE vision or results;

papers or articles in scientific, technical or general publications;

written press or audio-visual media releases;

displays at exhibitions or demonstrations by their own organisation that would include SMARTIE
results.
Any partner wishing to disseminate SMARTIE results at any conference or workshop outside of Europe
must have prior approval from the EC project officer so that associated costs are eligible for funding. In such
instance, partners should contact the Project Coordinator with details of the dissemination opportunity in
relation with its strategic interest for the project in order to seek approval from EC.
3.2
Intellectual property rights (IPR)
“Dissemination activities shall be compatible with the protection of intellectual property rights,
confidentiality obligations and the legitimate interests of the owner(s) of the foreground”. IPR, use and
dissemination issues are ruled in Annex II - Part C to standard FP7 Grant Agreement.
It is the intention of the SMARTIE consortium to strive for a maximum of openness in the design and
development of the framework to support trustworthy applications in heterogeneous networks and devices
based on the enforcement of interoperable and changing security policies. This does not necessarily mean
that software should be open-source, as that could conflict with the need for software reliability and security.
However, this platform will facilitate the pooling of data and services and could thus lead to maximum
growth of the eventual market. Also, any genuine service or information provider should be freely able to
join the network and add to the choices on offer to customers.
The Consortium Agreement is a very important document when it comes to ownership and sharing of
Knowledge or project result, as it sets out or further defines how the consortium agree on the use and
dissemination of the project results.
3.2.1
Plans for the management of knowledge acquired in the course of the project
In accordance with the FP7 rules for participation, the consortium agreement will govern dissemination,
access rights and use of knowledge and intellectual property. The partners intend to use the DESCA model
consortium agreement for governance of these issues.

Page 15 of (35)
SMARTIE
Deliverable D7.1
In order to make sure that these terms are followed, to avoid disputes and to facilitate business planning, the
Technical Committee will maintain an IPR Directory throughout the lifetime of the project. This document
will list all items of knowledge relating to the work of the project (including pre-existing know-how,
background, results developed in the project, foreground), and make explicit for each item:

The owner(s).

The nature of the knowledge, and its perceived potential for exploitation.

The currently agreed status of the item concerning access rights, plans to use the knowledge in
exploitation, or plans to disseminate it outside the Consortium.

Measures required, or in place, to ensure protection of IPR for the item.
The directory will be regularly updated and distributed to all partners and agreed upon by the Project
Management Board. It will form a key tool to enable knowledge management.
In case of different components we define differing IPR management principles. The essential goal is to
make it possible for other companies to uptake the technology, eventually building their own tools, but at the
same time to allow the companies that have participated in the research development to exploit their results
on a commercial basis.
All the above principles will be laid down, detailing the specific items in the IPR Directory, by the Project
Management Board at the beginning of the SMARTIE project.
3.2.2
Management of knowledge (foreground) Intellectual Property Rights
In principle, foreground will be managed accordingly with the provisions of the European Commission, and
the access to the foreground created throughout the project lifetime will be ruled by the Consortium
Agreement signed by the project partners.
The main elements of the consortium agreement include the following:

the internal organization of the consortium;

the distribution of the Community financial contribution;

additional rules on dissemination and use including intellectual property rights arrangements, as
appropriate;

the settlement of internal dispute;
3.2.3
Ownership and Protection of Knowledge (Foreground)
As a general rule, the foreground shall be considered as a property of the Contractor generating it, and in this
sense the originator is entitled to use and to license such right without any financial compensation to or the
consent of the other Contributors. In case of licensing to third parties, the Contributors shall be informed in
advance and appropriate financial compensation shall be given to them. Starting from these basic rules, other
particular situations could be summarised as following:

If the features of a joint invention are such that it is not possible to separate them, the Contributors
could agree that they may jointly apply to obtain and/or maintain the relevant rights and shall strive
to set up amongst themselves appropriate agreements in order to do so;

An originator of the foreground could decide not to seek protection of certain of its Foreground. In
this case, another contractor interested in such protection might apply for, advising the other
Contractors. In case several Contractors are interested in so, an agreement is necessary between
them.

3.2.4
SMARTIE
Access rights
Some General Principles have to be taken into account in the course of carrying out work on the Project.
First of all, each Contractor shall take appropriate measures to ensure that it can grant Access Rights and
fulfil the obligations under the EU Contract.
The Contractors have also to agree that Access Rights are granted on a non-exclusive basis, and that, if not
otherwise provided in the Consortium Agreement or granted by the owner of the Foreground or Background,
the Access Rights does not include the right to grant sub-licenses. Save as in exceptional circumstances, no
costs shall be charged for the granting of Access Rights.
The Consortium agreement will dedicate one section or one appendix to define which access rights to the
background may be granted. Also background to be excluded from access rights in any event will be
specified in another dedicated section or appendix. All other background will be considered as unnecessary
and excluded from the access rights.
Partners working in the same work package (WP) shall have Access Rights to all foreground and background
needed for the execution of the WP, from all WP Partners. Participants from other WPs will enjoy the same
access to foreground and background, if these form part of a deliverable or are necessary for the execution of
the sub-project. Bilateral agreement between the Contractors participating in the same WP or in other WPs
may be set if Contractors believe that foreground or background forms part of a deliverable of the other WPs
or is necessary to carry out activities in the other WPs.
These access rights can be extended to affiliates that are participating to the project, but these rights will
expire at the end of the project.
3.2.5
Publication and dissemination of foreground
Publication and dissemination of foreground are granted with the approval of the Consortium, making sure
that the period of secrecy needed for a successful patent application is respected.
Publication can be impeded if another contractor can show that the secrecy of the foreground is not
guaranteed.
Dissemination levels
The dissemination level convention applied for FP7 projects is the following:

PU = Public

PP = Restricted to other programme participants (including the Commission Services)

RE = Restricted to a group specified by the consortium (including the Commission Services)
 CO = Confidential, only for members of the consortium (including the Commission Services)
The same convention will be respected to ensure proper publication level of SMARTIE results.
3.2.6
Disclaimer
Adequate references to the Contract with the EC shall be given in all dissemination materials and channels
used.
Any publication must include the following acknowledgement: “This work has been partially funded by the
project “SMARTIE”, within the European Commission 7th Framework Programme (FP7-SMARTCITIES2013)”.
Nonetheless any publicity concerning the project must also specify that it reflects only the author’s view,
exempting the Community from any liability.
3.2.7
Logo use policy
Any publication or communication material prepared by consortium members about SMARTIE must display
the logo of the project and the EU emblem.
If that is on behalf of SMARTIE and in the framework of their assigned tasks in the project, partners may not
single out their own organisation logo in addition, unless they also include the other consortium partners’
logos.

Press Release
Project SMARTIE: Security for Smart Cities
European Commission acknowledges successful start of the project
Frankfurt (Oder), September 2013: The project "SMARTIE: Secure and sMArter ciTIEs data
management" funded under The Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013), Objective “ICT-2013.1.4: A
reliable, smart and secure Internet of Things for Smart Cities” has started recently. This EUR 5 million
project is being carried out by a consortium, led by IHP – Innovations for High Performance
Microelectronics/Leibniz-Institut für innovative Mikroelektronik in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. EUR 3.2
million is funded by the European Commission.
There is a strong trend among cities to become smarter in order to solve the upcoming challenges, e.g. aging
society, need for energy savings or maintaining the existing infrastructure. Smart technologies, the
availability of fine-grain data of the city and its residents, as well as the possibility to remotely control the
city’s infrastructure will have a great social benefit if used correctly, for instance with respect to the traffic
congestion avoidance.
As the people and objects become more and more interconnected, we have to face new challenges and
opportunities. Opportunities arise from greater real-time data gathering and information sharing within and
between providers and organisations across the cities. Processing the data obtained by large amounts of
Internet of Things (IoT) sources being available in a Smart City as well as generating information with
appropriate quality is of increasing importance. The Smart City solutions, that will manage a huge amount
and variety of various data/information sources (traffic, weather, home automation, health care, energy,

business, administration), need to support the security and privacy mechanisms in order to protect the data
infrastructure against potential cyber attacks.
The vision of SMARTIE is to create a distributed framework for IoT-based applications sharing large
volumes of heterogeneous information. This framework is envisioned to enable end-to-end security and trust
in information delivery for decision-making purposes following data owner’s privacy requirements. New
challenges identified for privacy, trust and reliability are:
 Provide trust and quality‐of‐information in shared information models to enable re‐use across many
applications.
 Provide secure exchange of data between IoT devices and consumers of their information.
 Provide protection mechanisms for vulnerable devices.
SMARTIE will address these challenges within the context of Smart Cities. A smart city controller handling
data for the city must show that the information collected from different devices are communicated and
stored in a secure way. Privacy protection and access control to the data and objects is necessary to convince
data owners to share information and to protect the city infrastructure. SMARTIE envisions a data-centric
paradigm with the “information management and services” plane as a unifying umbrella, which will operate
above heterogeneous network devices and data sources and will provide advanced secure information
services.
The feasibility and utility of SMARTIE will be tested in real environments with real users of the city
infrastructure. The two application areas Transport and Energy will be considered; both are key
infrastructures of cities. The tests will involve the cities Frankfurt (Oder) (Germany), Belgrade (Serbia) and
Murcia (Spain).
The project consortium forms a sound base for the realization of the project’s ambitious objectives. Further
members of the consortium are NEC Europe Ltd (United Kingdom), Portugal Telecom Inovacao SA
(Portugal), Drustvo za Konsalting, Razvoj i Implementaciju Informacionih i Komunikacionih Tehnologija
Dunavnet DOO (Serbia), Green Way Systems GmbH (Germany), Universidad de Murcia (Spain), Instituto
de Fomento de la Region Murcia (Spain).

Contribution to standards
Based on the initial standardization area considered by the project, a first attempt to identity more concrete
areas of possible contribution has been defined. In that sense based on the previous standardization
participation and the future interest of the partners, it has been defined as initial target:

ISO TC21: DUVANET is analysing to contribute to this forum in relation to CoAP and security
aspects. At the moment they are analyzing the standard and identifying gaps where contributions can
be made based on SMARTIE work.

IETF: UMU and NEC has contributed and followed within last year the work on WGs related to IoT
like Constrained RESTful Environments (core) and more recently interest Light-Weight
Implementation Guidance (lwig). Additionally UMU has collaborated in the organization of past
editions of the Smart Object Security Workshop between EU and the Internet Architecture Board
(IAB).

oneM2M: oneM2M is a joint project of the international standardization organizations from the US,
Korea, Japan and Europe that targets the creation of an international standard in the area of machineto-machine communication. NEC as one of the contributors to oneM2M will follow the activities
there closely and will take SMARTIE results into account for its contributions whenever they fit the
needs.

4.8.1
Cluster Activities and liaison with other projects
Liaison with other projects
In relation to the possible collaboration and liaison with other project, the following have been detected:

ESCI (http://www.esci-vrs.de/) - „ESCI - Enhanced Security for Critical Infrastructures “
developed an ubiquitous, flexible and open security architecture for the holistic protection of
critical infrastructure. It is provided as a distributed, reactive security platform for the protection
of standardized wireless and open interconnection networks. The basic concept assumes the
development of a family of configurable network sensors, which will ensure the cooperative
securing of different network architectures and transmission technologies. IHP participated in
the project so that the experience in the development of the scalable security solutions
supporting both resource-constrained and powerful devices is available to the SMARTIE project.

e-balance (http://www.e-balance-project.eu/) – The e-balance project, the IHP is participating
in, aims at providing solutions to improve the energy efficiency of present and future
neighborhoods and smart cities considering both technical and non-technical aspects. The goal is
to develop a system for people with people. The latter become very important for the challenging
European energy agenda for 2050. The flexible technical implementation will be realized
together with the analysis of socioeconomic aspects. Further, means to estimate the expected
savings and thus, increasing the applicability of the proposed platform, will be provided as well.
SMARTIE
Deliverable D7.1
The e-balance project will use the existing shortECC security solution within the framework of
the smart grid. The SMARTIE project uses the same background in the context of IoT.

UNIKOPS (http://www.unikops.de) - The UNIKOPS Project aims at providing the universally
configurable security solutions for embedded devices and systems. It will support various
applications like SCADA, Smart Metering, Internet of Things and Ambient Assisted Living. The
security solutions to be developed need to be energy efficient and to have small memory
footprint. To guarantee the system integrity the solutions for system protection, functionality
activation on demand, concealed aggregation of sensed and transmitted data as well as intrusion
detection mechanisms need to be researched and evaluated. The IHP participates in this project
so that the SMARTIE project can take advantage of the experience and findings gained in
UNIKOPS.

MobiWallet – is FP7 CIP project starting in February 2014 aiming to promote fare management
interoperability in the public transportation systems utilizing novel technologies such as
contactless payment technologies, 2D readers and NFC payments (smartcard and smartphonebased). One of the important aspects addressed in the project is the security and privacy
mechanisms implemented within the platform in order to enable wide interoperability between
different transport operators, covering wide spectrum of different technologies and providing the
service to large number of travelers. DNET is participating in the project which will enable
SMARTIE project to potentially collaborate and leverage the findings within MobiWallet in the
area of security and privacy in the context of smart transportation. Furthermore, there might be
an opportunity to test the SMARTIE concepts within the MobiWallet test beds which will be setup in Spain, UK, Italy and Serbia.

Sociotal (http://www.sociotal.eu/) – is a FP7 project in the same area as SMARTIE. SOCIOTAL
will establish an IoT eco-system that puts trust, user control and transparency at its heart in order
to gain the confidence of everyday users and citizens. By providing adequate socially aware
tools and mechanisms that simplify complexity and lower the barriers of entry it will encourage
citizen participation in the Internet of Things. This will add a novel and rich dimension to the
emerging IoT ecosystem, providing a wealth of opportunities for the creation of new services
and applications that address true societal needs and allow the improvement of the quality of life
across European cities and communities. UMU and DNET participate in this project, where
some of the results related to the security and privacy management on the smart objects solutions
could allow to cooperation.
4.8.2
IERC Cluster Activities
The European Research Cluster on the Internet of Things (IERC) has created a number of activity chains to
favour close cooperation between the projects addressing IoT topics and to form an arena for exchange of
ideas and open dialog on important research challenges. The activity chains are defined as work streams that
group together partners or specific participants from partners around well defined technical activities that
will result into at least one output or delivery that will be used in addressing the IERC objectives.
In relation to the IERC chain activities, based on the expected results from SMARTIE and the scientific
challenges considered, the following activity chains have been identified as relevant

AC1 - Architecture approaches and models. AC1 – Architecture and Open Platforms: SMARTIE
will contribute to the architecture and platform activities of the IERC cluster. More specifically, it
will take the Architectural Reference Model (ARM) created by the EU FP7 IoT-A project as the
basis for its architectural work. The ARM has been embraced by the IERC as a common basis for
discussing and aligning architecture activities in the cluster. As SMARTIE is working on a secure
IoT platform, it will take the respective AC1 activities into account and actively contribute on
security, privacy and trust aspects of a platform. Contact person Martin Bauer NEC.


AC3 - Application scenarios, Pilots and Innovation. The objective is to present and contribute with
the specific use case that will be deployed in SMARTIE and look for possible synergies on
evaluation procedures. Contact Person Boris Pokrić DNET.

AC5 - Governance, Privacy and Security issues. The contributions will be focused on the security
and privacy approached that SMARTIE will develop and possible interoperability issues with other
project solutions. Contact person Anna Sojka-Piotrowska IHP.
4.8.3
IoTForum
The Internet of Things International Forum (IoTForum) mission is to support a collaborative environment
between industries and research, and drive programmes for the adoption of the Internet of Things in existing
and new markets in order to create an economically and societally sustainable future by harnessing the
disruptiveness of the Internet of Things.
To address industry needs, the IoT Forum will initiate and drive all the necessary activities to ensure a
growth of the Internet of Things market, technology and related products and applications as well as
education and policies. To achieve this, the IoT Forum will draw on the most recent results from the global
Internet of Things research community.
The IoT Forum, which was founded out of the EU FP7 IoT-i project, has now been established as an
independent forum. It has taken over the Architectural Reference Model (ARM) from the EU FP7 IoT-A
project. Beyond maintaining the ARM in its current form, it is planning to define specific architectural
profiles for which key design decisions, originally left open in the ARM, will be taken. Compliance to such a
profile can then be tested and the IoT Forum is planning to introduce labels that certify this compliance. As
one such profile, the IoT Forum will establish a security profile. SMARTIE is planning to contribute to the
creation of this security profile. NEC, as a member of the IoT Forum, will coordinate this work.
4.9
Media relations
SMARTIE is looking for an active dissemination activity at local, regional, national and international level.
In that sense several actions has been already launched.

Local interviews at some of the partners newspapers

Dissemination done internally and over usual communication channels by partners

Possible video to be produced to disseminate results of the project
Some references to the projects can be found at:


4.10
Workshops
One of the SMARTIE objectives is to organize at least a couple of workshops: one of them focused on
research results and other ones related to possible dissemination over stakeholders.
A workshop on trust and security in smart city applications will be organised to increase the mindfulness of
security issues in the IoT and smart city applications. This workshop will be collocated with other events like
conference or internationally well-know symposium. Since some of the partners are chairs or members of
technical committees of the following events, it is initially proposed to organize a workshop within the
framework of one of them:

PITSaC 2015

ICC 2015

IEEE Forum on IoT
A final dedicated workshop for all potential stakeholders and vendors (end-users) will be organised to
demonstrate the possibilities for new developments in the Smart City market and the potentiality for
increasing the market share.

Initial Exploitation Plans
5.1
IHP
As a research organization IHP will exploit the SMARTIE results for further investigation of the security
solutions for Internet of Things. The knowledge gained in this project will be also used to acquire additional
new projects in the area of IoT.
The rapid development of the cloud technologies causes that the Internet of Things creates new opportunities
for industry. An important issue is to assist the regional companies in order to increase their competitiveness
on the market. In the framework of the SMARTIE project the IHP will investigate and develop new
lightweight and scalable security means, privacy protection mechanisms and efficient data management
middleware for wireless sensor networks. The results of this work together with the support by the
deployment will be transferred to the industrial partners. The cooperation with industrial partners can be
effectively performed within the framework of the new projects.
Depending on market analysis results IHP will set up a spin‐off company which will further exploit this
knowledge. This has already been done successfully in the past, i.e. IHP founded two spin‐offs namely
Lesswire AG and Silicon Radar GmbH.
The SMARTIE results will partly be used for teaching purposes in lectures which are given at the Technical
University of Cottbus and will also be integrated into a new master program with a focus on security which
is currently under development at Technical University of Cottbus.
5.2
NEC
NEC’s long term vision is "using the power of innovation to build an information society friendly to humans
and the earth". As a major IT/Network vendor, the vision of a Secure Smart City based on ubiquitous
available Internet-of-Things technology is very important. NEC is currently shifting its strategic focus
towards “Solutions for Societal Challenges”. Major challenges in the future will be in the urbanization of the
world population and into making our cities into places in which we can live safely and comfortably with
minimum ecological impact and very efficient usage of the available resources.
NEC is involved in more than 41 Smart Cities projects. This ranges from the building of new stadium and
the surrounding quarters in Brazil for the World Cup 2014, to building a Cloud City Operation Center
(CCoC). Especially the CCoC is a European product, designed and developed in the NEC Cloud
Competence Center in Madrid and first time commercially realized in the City of Santander. The official
inauguration ceremony was on Friday, 7th February 2014. The next phase of the CCoC product is to enhance
the connections of the center to various subsystems in the Smart City and to enable secure information flows.
Based on this we want to build a social-economic model of the city. This model can be used by App provider
to build apps utilizing the rich wealth of Smart City information to create reliable services for the citizens.
The SMARTIE project is covering important technologies for future smart cities. The focus in on secure and
efficient information flows from various devices, subsystems, as well as virtual entities of the Smart City to
information consuming services and finally end-user applications in the form of Web Apps and Mobile
Apps. As a Smart City is a dynamic and living place, so must be the information flows. New devices need to
be dynamically attached to the Smart City network. Mobile users are already mobile data sources
(Participatory Sensing). As new moving sensors devices will appear (e.g. cars, mobile robots and flying
ornithopters), the system need to be taking the mobility of sensors into account and use in this also as a
source of policy parameters . Discovery and usage of these devices must be automated, but secured and only
granted to the right users. Information transferred need to be further secured against eavesdropping and
manipulation. The level of security needs to be adapted to the needs of the applications and the resulting cost
in terms of latency, compute power needed, and cost. For highly secure information, even processing on
encrypted data is needed. Finally the information flow includes the actuation of devices in order to control

smart city operations, e.g. to smooth out peak loads, avoid congestions of resources (streets, public transport,
energy, waste systems), and provide comfort and assistance to citizens
All these functions are highly essential for our commercial smart city operations. The results of SMARTIE
will be used for

Safe City – controlling big events, but ensuring that the right information is supplied to the right
people at the right time.

Smart City Control – giving overview to the status of the city and use advanced analytics for deeper
insights and triggering actions

Fighting crisis like local disaster, large accidents, terrorist attacks

Shifting peak loads on various social infrastructures
5.3
PTIN
As the research and development branch from Portugal Telecom operator, PTIN will exploit the SMARTIE
results in two different ways. In one hand the results will be used for further investigation on the security
domain of the Internet of Things and to acquire additional new projects in the area of IoT and Security.
On the other hand, SMARTIE results, in particular the development of the new lightweight and scalable
security means, privacy protection mechanisms and efficient data management, will potentially be included
in PT’s Machine to Machine (M2M) and Cloud products in order to enhance their security and privacy
functionalities and to increase their competitiveness on the market. Security and privacy are keystones in
today’s businesses. They are transversal to all business activities. PTIN is involved in a 50 plus regional
cluster of Portuguese Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), acting as an important stakeholder by providing its
own platforms, knowledge and advice to those SMEs (and startups). SMARTIE results will enhance the
platforms and knowledge that those SMEs will benefit. By rising awareness about IoT security concerns,
PTIN expects to bring some of the cluster’s SMEs to join forces to create new cooperative projects within
the framework of the new projects.
5.4
DNET
DNET is very active when considering the products and services in the IoT and M2M domain in general.
Number of commercial products based in IoT and M2M technology is already on the market. For example,
fleet management system fleetNET enables vehicle tracking functionality in real-time. The ekoNET service
enables environmental monitoring using dedicated IoT devices and associated back-end cloud server.
Additionally, mTicketingAR system enables advertising and ticket purchase using mobile devices. All of
these systems handle sensitive and private data and therefore security aspects are of paramount importance.
The current security mechanisms incorporated within these systems will be upgraded with the results and
solutions developed within SMARTIE project which is pushing the boundaries in these areas beyond stateof-the-art concepts. It is envisaged that by utilising SMARTIE concepts, the commercial products will offer
more competitive features by implementing novel security and privacy solutions and therefore increasing the
competitive advantage on the market.
Furthermore, the planned field trials in Novi Sad in the area of smart transport will be used to demonstrate
the strengths of security and privacy solutions proposed by SMARTIE to the potential customers,
infrastructure and service providers so that new potential business opportunities can be created.
5.5
GWS
Green Way Systems is always interested in further development of its products in the field of traffic flow
control and traffic management. The connection of many different sensor networks and isolated traffic
control systems is a big challenge regarding terms of security and safety. Green Way Systems will use the

SMARTIE
knowledge gained in in the project to realize IoT concepts in urban and interurban traffic control systems.
GWS plans to revise its current mechanisms of data and communication security for present and future
products.
The interoperability of a Smart City would be a unique feature in traffic control, which may allow to
combine traffic control system of different vendors to a complete solution of a piece. We expect a high
demand for these applications, so we plan to use the project results and the acquired knowledge in future
projects with competitors, customers and public authorities.
In addition the demonstrator site for the traffic scenarios in Frankfurt(Oder) will show the benefits of an
integrated system to local authorities and potential customers in real world environment. This will probably
raise the acceptance for security & privacy issues and also the outcome of the SMARTIE project at all.

UMU
This project will help to improve the knowledge and expertise of this research group on security, sensor
networks and Identity Management (IdM). The UMU research group already has several results either in the
area of security and IdM services but also in the area of sensor networks and integration within remote
monitoring system. This project will provide the baseline for extending these results and will provide new
convergence on industry needs. Due to the collaboration with regional and national SMEs in the area of
security and privacy, IdM and sensors, the possible exploitation of the results at regional and national level
will be increased. Additionally to the possibility of working in cooperation with industrial partners and
research centres very active on current research activities within this field and its application to security
services, it is expected to produce some articles to conferences and journal like IEEE Communications
magazine, Elsevier Computers & Security, etc. and specially to contribute to the new researchers
development and the collaboration with Master and PhD theses within the project duration.
In that sense the UMU has been active on the productivity of the research done, and the impact at
international level, through the generation of technology knowledge transferred to industry, like OpenIKEv2
(Open source IKEv2 implementation, http://openikev2.sourceforge.net/) is an implementation under a free
software
license
of
the
IKEv2
key
management
protocol;
OpenXKMS
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/xkms/) is an open source implementation of the W3C Recommendation of
the XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) 2.0; or ORE (Ontology Rules Editor,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ore) is a visual editor which allows an non experienced user to produce
knowledge in the form of rules for Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL).
5.7
INFO
INFO, as the Regional Development Agency in Murcia, will exploit the SMARTIE results in diverse ways.
From one hand INFO Murcia could spread and disseminate its participation in this R&D project in order to
improve its capabilities in relation to develop this high technological project.
On the other hand, INFO Murcia, with the data that will be collected through the utilization of the
technology developed within the framework of the SMARTIE project (sensors system, internet interchange
and security system) will be able to support companies in the region of Murcia, in order to better define a
Smart City, and of course will give advice in topics dealing with: efficiency, safe energy, improve of
productivity and competitiveness, security, etc.
INFO Murcia will use the SMARTIE results to support small and medium enterprises and other companies
from region Murcia.
Since INFO Murcia focuses its efforts on helping the industrial companies in the region, it would be a very
good experience to share this partnership with the partners of the SMARTIE project. The advanced hightech knowledge of the SMARTIE consortium could be used to improve the know-how of the industrial
companies from the Murcia region, for example within the cooperation in the future projects.

Conclusion
This document constitutes the initial approach for dissemination plan of the SMARTIE project, which is the
main guideline for the widespread diffusion of knowledge and project results. It describes the on-going
activities in the SMARTIE project regarding the dissemination and awareness creation and the proposal of
actions to be taken during the lifetime of the project.
This dissemination and use plan will continuously operate to ensure the maximum visibility of SMARTIE
project results and achievements. The plan is not static; it will be reported on in successive issues of this
deliverable. Namely D7.3: Final Plan for using and disseminating knowledge, which will include updates to
the overall dissemination strategy as and when necessary, as well as reflect the new dissemination activities
carried out during the periods covered by these deliverables.
As main initial results, the project already has a web site available, a brochure, some dissemination material
and some publications approved and submitted in the context of the work to be carried on the project. The
project also has participated in some dissemination events related to IoT and an initial workshop it is planned
for the first year.
