Re: [icnrg] next stepd for draft-zhang-icnrg-icniot-requirements

[Alfredo Grieco <[e-mail]>]

Dear mjm, Chairs, and all

the point here is that today we can get hundreds of different IoT technologies which hardly interoperate and make them work together thanks to a de-verticalizing middlewares based on ICN principles.

This is not my opinion -only- but what current literature on the subject says. Furthermore, we set up within the H2020 Bonvoyage project an experimental demonstrator that shows that the design principles stated in the draft can become reality. As a matter of fact, in that project we set up a de-verticalizing middleware based on ICN primitives that support IoT applications in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Very recently, we adopted the same middleware in an international Galileo project with LAAS - CNRS (FR) to demonstrate that the same ICN-IoT middleware (the one of the H2020 Bonvoyage project) can serve to smart building applications.

If a Reseach Group should consider the status of the art (and not only personal opinions) I believe this draft did it. We are aware that there is much space for improvements but ICN-IoT by itself is a branch of ICN research that exists in literature and projects so that it would be the case to cover it somehow within the icnrg: am I missing something ?

Many thanks all for the feedbacks.

Sincerely

Alfredo

To validate, in addition to the recent comments, the attachment has the previous comments that were provided on the mailing list and that were addressed in the last revision. So I'm not sure if this number isn't a show of enthusiasm for adoption ?.

>> The chairs have reviewed draft-zhang-icnrg-icniot-requirements and considered the nature and breadth of the commentary from the RG participants. While our joint assessment is that the draft has some value and could be published after a reasonable amount of additional technical improvement, we are concerned that the level of engagement of the RG beyond the authors has not been sufficient to have a consensus to adopt the the draft and continue to work on it as an RG-sponsored document. The chairs have made multiple consensus calls and not found much enthusiasm. We therefore propose that ICNRG not adopt this document but do not object to it proceeding as an individual RFC candidate.
