IT in general

The present document describes the service provision to be addressed by designers and implementers of the digital ecosystem to ensure that the means by which users interact with the digital ecosystem is consistent across device types, and meet the preferences of the user. The present document addresses the role of the user accessing services in the digital ecosystem with multiple formats of device.

The OASIS MQTT TC is producing a standard for the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport Protocol compatible with MQTT V3.1, together with requirements for enhancements, documented usage examples, best practices, and guidance for use of MQTT topics with commonly available registry and discovery mechanisms. The standard supports bi-directional messaging to uniformly handle both signals and commands, deterministic message delivery, basic QoS levels, always/sometimes-connected scenarios, loose coupling, and scalability to support large numbers of devices. Candidates for enhancements include message priority and expiry, message payload typing, request/reply, and subscription expiry.

The OASIS AMQP TC advances a vendor-neutral and platform-agnostic protocol that offers organizations an easier, more secure approach to passing real-time data streams and business transactions. The goal of AMQP is to ensure information is safely and efficiently transported between applications, among organizations, across distributed cloud computing environments, and within mobile infrastructures. AMQP avoids proprietary technologies, offering the potential to lower the cost of enterprise middleware software integrations through open interoperability. By enabling a commoditized, multi-vendor ecosystem, AMQP seeks to create opportunities for transforming the way business is done in the Cloud and over the Internet.

Overview of identity management using blockchain and distributed ledger technologies

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for maritime mobile broadband radiocommunication systems (MBR) radio equipment intended to operate in the 5,8 GHz band.

The present document applies to systems utilizing integral electronically phase steered antennae applicable for communications between vessels and between vessels and platforms engaged in coordinated off-shore activities.

The present document provides specifications of infrastructure related ITS services to support communication between infrastructure ITS equipment and traffic participants using ITS equipment (e.g. vehicles, pedestrians). It defines services in the Facilities layer for communication between the infrastructure and traffic participants. The specifications cover the protocol handling for infrastructure-related messages as well as requirements to lower layer protocols and to the security entity.

The present document summarizes the results of an analysis of the impact of the upcoming 5G on existing QoS metrics, and the question if extensions or modifications of the portfolio of QoS parameters portfolio are required to capture respective properties of 5G.

The analysis starts with a summary of features and properties of 5G which can be expected to be relevant for QoS assessment.
The first question addressed is if there are features of the 5G roadmap - as far as technically stable as of the time of publication, or reasonably stable projections - which constitute new services which would then require new sets of QoS parameters. The second question is in what way projected 5G properties may require adaptations with respect to measurement methodologies, computation, or usage of existing QoS parameters.

Recommendation ITU‑T Y.3602 describes a model and operations for big data provenance. Also, this Recommendation provides the functional requirements for big data service provider (BDSP) to manage big data provenance. The reliability of data is an important factor in determining the reliability of the analysis result. Data provenance aims to ensure the reliability of data by providing transparency of the historical path of the data. In a big data environment, complex data processing and migration due to the big data lifecycle and data distribution cause various difficulties in managing data provenance.

Recommendation ITU-T F.743.7 specifies requirements for visual surveillance enhanced by big data (VSBD) services. It promotes the value of visual surveillance services by using big data analytics method and tools. Massive video, event and sensing data are analysed to support enhanced visual surveillance services, including video retrieval, event detection and status prediction.

This draft Recommendation presents the high-level requirements and reference framework of Smart City Platform (SCP). The SCP is a fundamental platform supporting all the services and applications of a smart city, with the objective to improve quality of life, provide urban operation and services for the benefit of the citizens while ensuring city sustainability.

The purpose of this Recommendation is to specify requirements and capabilities of the IoT for Big Data. This Recommendation complements the developments on common requirements of the IoT [ITU-T Y.2066] and functional framework of the IoT [ITU-T Y.2068] in terms of the specific requirements and capabilities that the IoT is expected to support in order to address the challenges related to Big Data. Also, it constitutes a basis for further standardization work (e.g. functional entities, APIs and protocols) concerning Big Data in the IoT.

Mobile Internet services harvest data in their big data infrastructure from multiple sources and multiple data dimensions with characteristics including scale, diversity, speed and possibly others like credibility or business value. Big data analysis drives nearly every aspect of mobile Internet services to improve service quality and user experience.
