Community Scenario

Each citizen will come up with a list of everyday activities, ranging from: getting up in the morning going for a newspaper getting bread at a bakery or a supermarket taking the dog out for a walk taking the children to school going to work going shopping trying to find a job trying to learn the language learning how to bake a fruit cake learning Drupal ...... as detailed as possible through the whole day. Then they will be asked for the ideal scenario on all these activities. We will see how these two can be bridged by an Internet of Things infrastructure and can offer certain feedback on one , most or all activities.

Citizens will then calculate how much they are willing to spend on this on how they would like to pay; in cash or in personal hours (LET). These services (ranging from installing sensors in the beds of those who can not rise early, to creating intelligent busses and personal travel assistants, to very high focused high security areas with full surveillance and transparant yet monitored feedback to citizens paying for it, to collaborative shopping schemes with intelligent trucks hired to bring and disperse the groceries, to organized bicycle tours with paid staff to take the children to school by bike - paid for by the recuperation of working hours of parents that can now go to work earlier and do not have ro worry about children biking on their own) will start to create so many new data that was not seen as data before, and will lay bare hidden links and relationships between local actors, that serendipity will enable more services that can not be deduced from the scenario.

It is important to note that the feedbcak of IOT is not directly to the citizens but to a repository of activities. Citizens list their ideal scenarios for activities and stick a privacy policy on every activity.

The IOT feedback is played back to this repository of privacy policies. So for example on the activity 'waking', IOT knows that out of 12000 people, 2670 have trouble waking, but they do not know which ones, their identity remains unkown to IOT unless a person chooses to disclose it. Citizens can collect the feedback with their personal code or object ( a smart card or other object which can hold some biometric features).

For business this means that they might have to rethink their services in terms of these repositories of activities and team up with players that were not in their vicinity before. A maker of beds can join up early with a maker of sensors, producers of design objects in the line of waking such as Philips smart lamp and food producers that can advice on the best kinds of eating before going to bed....

As Council our benefit lies in the analysis and the making of the right kind of granularity in service layers and providers, the timing when a player joins in the feedback process and the right kind of proposal of who pays whom in the chain for what. The result then would be a generic toolkit for an IOT community.
