Vertical and domain-specific standards also play an important role. Not only are IIC Members and
Testbed Partners working together, but the IIC is also focused on cooperation with international
standards organizations. That notion extends beyond the IIC.
IIC Liaisons
The IIC has 38 liaisons in place and conducted two recent joint workshops, both were open to the
public:
2018-05-24: IIC/OSGi joint workshop, Building Industrial Internet Solutions with OSGi .
The workshop followed the IIC member meeting in Helsinki. The goal was for the IIC’s
Liaison Working Group and the OSGi Internet of Things Expert Group to work together to
gather requirements to tailor and extend OSGi specifications to address specific industrial
internet scenarios.
2018-06-01: The 2nd IIC/IVI Joint Workshop, Sharing Use Case Information, was held in
Tokyo, Japan. The workshop focused on sharing IVI and IIC use cases.
A coordinated group is working to identify which standards are or should be in use for the
testbeds. This also extends the range of organizations with whom we might want to create a
liaison for more formal work. For example,
The Retail Operations Task Group is collaborating with the Object Management Group’s
Retail Domain Task Group, formerly the National Retail Federation (NRF) Association for
Retail Technology Standards (ARTS) on developing and enhancing standards for the retail
industry.
The Automotive Security Task Group is engaging with automotive organizations to
collaborate and identify requirements intended to influence standards activities.
The Standards Task Group is working with testbeds and other groups to find the most
pertinent standards and explore key standards’ development organizations (SDOs).
