Title: Requirements, capabilities and architectural frameworks of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart sustainable cities and communities (SSC&C) across verticals
Description: 1 Motivation SG20 focuses on the framework and roadmaps for the harmonized and coordinated development of the Internet of Things (IoT), including machine-to-machine (M2M) communications ubiquitous sensor networks, and relevant emerging technologies, like edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), blockchain, digital twins, metaverse, data processing and analytics, orchestration and automation technologies, advanced sensing and actuation technologies, among others. In addition, it develops guidelines, methodologies and best practices related to standards to help cities, communities, and rural areas deliver services using relevant emerging technologies, also known as smart sustainable cities and communities (SSC&C). As the number of services and applications of the IoT increase, it is useful to understand common requirements, capabilities, and architectural frameworks of IoT and how relevant emerging technologies might be used to support IoT development. It could be argued that common capabilities and architectural frameworks of IoT - across different verticals - could assist in making these technologies more cost-efficient, competitive, and more-easily deployed. In addition, it is important to better understand the way in which relevant standards in this space interact with practical aspects of implementation, deployment, operation and maintenance of IoT. Similarly, given the diverse uses and types of technologies for municipal governments to create SSC&C, it is useful to understand their common requirements, capabilities, and architectural frameworks. Of particular interest is how relevant emerging technologies (see the list above) might be used to provide more-efficient, and more-easily deployed digital services. In addition, it is important to better understand the way in which relevant standards in this space interact with practical aspects of implementation, deployment, operation and maintenance of SSC&C. This Question addresses the common and specific requirements, capabilities, use cases and architectural frameworks of IoT and SSC&C enhanced by emerging technologies across verticals. 2 Question Study items include, but are not limited to: - What are the use cases of IoT and SSC&C across different verticals, excluding human-centric IoT and SSC&C services and applications related to digital health, accessibility and inclusion? - What are the requirements, capabilities and architectural frameworks of IoT and SSC&C across different verticals, excluding human-centric IoT and SSC&C services and applications related to digital health, accessibility and inclusion? - With which standards development organizations (SDOs) collaboration would be necessary to maximize synergies and harmonize existing standards? 3 Tasks Tasks include, but are not limited to: - Developing Recommendations, reports, roadmaps, guidelines etc. as appropriate for the support of emerging services and applications for IoT and SSC&C, covering: " use cases of IoT and SSC&C across different verticals, excluding human-centric IoT and SSC&C services and applications related to digital health, accessibility and inclusion; " common and specific requirements, capabilities and architectural frameworks of IoT and SSC&C across different verticals, excluding human-centric IoT and SSC&C services and applications related to digital health, accessibility and inclusion; and " related implementation, deployment, operation and maintenance of IoT and SSC&C with respect to the above tasks. - Providing the necessary analysis of and collaboration for joint activities in this field within ITU and between ITU-T and other relevant SDOs, consortia and forums.
