ETSI M2M community and DG Connect are organizing a workshop on 27-28 May 2014 in Brussels.
In the future, domestic or industrial energy using and producing products, also called appliances, will not be stand-alone systems anymore. They will be highly intelligent, networked and smart devices, which form complete energy consuming, producing, and managing systems. One of the requirements for making such systems commercially successful and widely adopted, is that they can be extended over time according to the needs and budget of the user. Such systems will therefore consist of devices from different vendors added at different points in time, with open interfaces enabling further extension. These systems will also need to be able to communicate with service platforms from different energy service providers. ETSI’s proposed standard will take account of these requirements and will ensure interoperability through the integration with ETSI’s M2M architecture.
In coordination with this initiative, the European Commission has launched a “Study on the available semantics assets for the interoperability of Smart Appliances; Mapping into a common ontology as a M2M application layer semantics” (SMART 2013/0077), which will provide input to the ETSI work.
GSEF is a truly global federation and has therefore no main address in one country. If you wish to meet with one of us, please write to us.
