The event started with an Executive Track on 13 February followed by a Technical Track on 14-15 February. 

As we increasingly rely on cyber technologies, we are ever more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The cybersecurity tools at the centre of protecting our business functions, connected devices and information assets from cyber threats rely on cryptographic tools and standards that will be broken by emerging quantum technologies. 

Planning and preparing is critical. A new suite of tools resilient to quantum computers must be standardized and deployed in order to maintain the availability and reliability of cyber systems and protect confidentiality and integrity.

As progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum computer advances, the imperative to prepare for a transition continues to increase. As standards start to emerge, solutions start to become commercially available, best practices are developed and shared, and the ability to transition in a secure and cost-effective way continues to increase. We are in the middle of this long and complex journey and much remains to be understood and done.

This event brought together diverse participants in the quantum-safe cybersecurity community to facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition cyber infrastructures and business practices to make them safe in an era with quantum computers.

Event Technology: Internet of Things (IoT)

The tutorial on ontologies and semantic interoperabitliy is the introductory event of the ETSI IoT Week 2022.
The tutorial will take place physically in ETSI premises, Sophia Antipolis, France, on 10 October 2022.

The Internet of Things is all around us, with connectivity now being an integral part of the devices we use every day. This connectivity is however just a means for these connected devices to share data with other elements in a broader system.
While devices initially foreseen to operate within the same system might understand each other and be able to use data created within other parts of the system, we see an increasing complexity in those systems, a connection between systems and ultimately a need for devices, servers and applications to be prepared to access and process data that might not have been considered at time of design.

This is where semantic interoperability helps: it allows IoT systems to communicate and exchange data with unambiguous and shared meaning. This can be achieved using ontologies relevant to the IoT in general (a “base” IoT ontology) as well as extensions relevant to specific domains. The creation of mappings between existing ontologies is a key element in creating interoperability that can in turn help systems and their users to fully leverage the value of data.

 We are inviting you to a tutorial session targeted at IoT applications developers. 
The tutorial will explain what ontologies are, how they are built and extended, and how you can get involved in ETSI’s current work on the topic.

The session will also address practical use of these ontologies and provide an overview of how semantics can be applied to the IoT and of how using ontologies can considerably enrich the IoT applications and use cases.

Through a step-by-step demonstration, we will show how developers can build applications using ontologies on a oneM2M IoT solution, highlighting how it makes a difference using semantics in an IoT ecosystem.

The oneM2M developer guide on implementation of semantics will then be put in action in a demo of a relevant use case based on the SAREF ontology and a oneM2M IoT solution implementing the oneM2M standard.

The formal tutorial session will be followed by a question and answer session from all participants
