2. Trend The Trend in usage of actuator / sensor systems: reduce energy spilling, and use energy more efficiently respond quickly to localised conditions typical procedure deeply embedded sensing and data acquisition store sensor data in long-term storage applications fuse information obtained from different sources automated responses Application domains: (public, company) buildings: HVAC, lighting, security, safety homes: metering, lighting health care: long-term monitoring

3. Sketch of current situation Applications Other sources Storage Sensors System Actuators

4. CoDeGrass(Conscious Dependable Green Actuator/Sensor Systems) The CoDeGrass challenge: make systems green, conscious & dependable reduction of energy use, by the embedded system as well as by the backend systems reduce costly long-term data storage use embedded consciousness to take energy saving decisions move consciousness into the system, close to the place where the data is generated avoid generation and long-term storage of sensitive data fuse data into information inside the system advance automation into consciousness privacymanagement, beyond security mechanisms privacy transparency, for the subjects of the system (e.g. monitored user) reduce long-term storage minimize privacy impact, in case of system breakdown/hacking

5. CoDeGrass Applications Strict, transparent policies • Embed application, (required) storage, sensors and actuators into a control system • Build up embedded consciousness in the form of rules and machine learning • Take external information sources into the control system • Extracted information for long-term storage, information use and application access only via transparent policies Storage Other sources System setting of global policies regarding governance privacy, security

6. How to enforce (changing) global policies on a distributed system with no central control. Policies pertain to many of the qualities of the system Security Privacy Governance, legal requirements Legal requirements Safety Policies must be translated on the fly into operational requirements and implemented accordingly. [Tentative] Auditing/logging to demonstrate policy compliance Policy Challenges

7. CoDeGrass: innovation Generic results, compared to State of the Art: Energy-efficient solutions for saving energy Avoiding costly off-line processing Techniques for embedding intelligence Explicit and assisted privacy management avoidance of storing sensitive data “graceful degradation” of privacy, in case of incidents Specific results testbeds: building control and home intelligent lighting Contributing to ARTEMIS objectives Industry objectives: Architecture dependability, (embedded) Resource management – autonomy Sub programmes: Smart Environments, Embedded Technology for Sustainable Urban Life

8. Market Innovation Project (re)uses technology of other projects Sofia (Artemis) WASP (IST) SmaCS & ISLES2014 (Dutch National) Funding motivation: required technology to sustain societal needs potential for innovative SME activities connecting to the Internet of Things initiatives

9. Next steps Time-line today: soliciting interests, Consortium members (under discussion) TU Eindhoven, NXP Eindhoven, SME Countries involved Netherlands, .... Work packages, e.g. Service design & operation Policies & dependability Platform design Demonstration 2 testbeds – building energy management (main), intelligent lighting
