IERC Chain Activities Implementation
The IERC projects are not stand alone but part
of the activity chains in the Cluster (existing
and developing). Activity chains are a method
used by the projects to address the European
Approach in different research areas.

Motivation / objectives / milestones
Motivation
 Why is this project necessary?
Testing was always seen as an add on, not as part of the design choices
 What are the research needs?
Semantic Description: to model IoT enabled business services and IoT
resources.
IoT service composition environment
Mapping to Heterogeneous Platforms and Large Scale Deployment
Automated Generation of Tests
Context-aware Service Adaptation
 How will the identified problems be solved by the project?
All problems mentioned are interlinked, at the core of the approach is the
development of a IoT Service model and life cycle

5. IERC
Motivation / objectives / milestones
Objectives
 What will the project achieve and deliver?
 will establish and ease the creation and
provision of IoT enabled business services
by bringing together the three disciplines
Internet of Things, Service Engineering and
Testing.
 design guide, testing tool kit

6. IERC
Expected final results: exploitation
 IoT.est will impact IoT enabled business processes.
 … will allow the systematic integration of IoT
service development within the IoT business
processes.
 … will provide lower entry barriers for construction,
provisioning and consumption of services and IoT
enabled business processes.
 … facilitate solutions for IoT service development
for accessing the real world resources and objects.
 … will contribute to, and partly drive relevant
standardisation activities (e.g. TTCN3).

7. IERC
New research issues
Are there any research needs to be
addressed in Horizon 2020?
Testing as part of the design for any types of
service
Has the topic reached the competitive
lever or is still in R&D?
Still in R&D, but some aspects are used in
tools
Any supports needed from IERC?
Awareness of the other projects
