Meeting minutes

review of last week's notes

<kaz> Feb-10

McCool: please use the main branch going forward as targets for your PRs
… any objections?
… none - (meetings are approved.)

Agenda

- getting Wiki organzied

- updating TDs

Planning

McCool: we added the hardware.md file to the repo, this will be input into profiles
… development size vs. minimum size
… ESP32 and Nordic were discussed, Nordic has 32 kb
… There's a 1000:1 ratio between large and small

Lagally: why not create a list of plugfest devices

McCool: we can create a list of implementation platforms where plugfest participants describe the hardware they use and capabilities they support.

https://github.com/w3c/wot-testing/tree/main/events/2021.03.Online/reference/platforms.md

<mjk_> https://www.automation.siemens.com/sce-static/iot2000/dffa-b10254-00-7600-simatic-iot2020-en.pdf

McCool: we have an initial list, need to fill in details

<mjk_> https://new.siemens.com/global/en/company/sustainability/education/sce/iot2000.html

Daniel: there are several different versions of the Siemens IOT-2020

Koster: platforms are pretty much capturer if we consider Nordic, ESP32, Raspi, ESP-8266

Daniel: Sebastian was doing some work with node-MCUs and LUA

Philipp: embedded radio consumes a lot of resources

McCool: topic: TDs

McCool: we need to gather TDs, I plan to look into geospatial examples

Kaz: perhaps some new devices from Japanese community group?

Toumura: (can't hear what Toumura-san mentioned due to some audio trouble)

Mizushima: Japanese CG would like to contribute on the new TD, would like to talk with Toumura

Kaz: there was some audio problems with Toumura-san's line, but a potential contribution on a Raspberry Pi could be likely considered

McCool: I know Matsukura-san was very interested in greenhouse horticulture
… we can break up the readme and create a dedicated scenario description in a separate file.

https://github.com/w3c/wot-testing/tree/main/events/2021.03.Online/scenarios

Philipp: I'm working on a dev kit to make development simpler
… when this is ready, I'm happy to provide some devices

McCool: is this Nordic based?

Philipp: yes

McCool: In addition to hardware we need software stacks with certain capabilities

Philipp: it will contain the full RIOT SW stack

McCool: We also have goals, each group could use their own

McCool: we discussed signing requirements and corresponding use case in the security TF
… perhaps RIOT OS can work on that?
… controller consumes a TD for controlling a device

Philipp: This is kind of complex and we don't have security implemented yet

McCool: Security is optional, this would be an interesting real-world use case
… we could use nosec for the test case
… also on a small device I cannot do RDF etc.
… if I do mDNS discovery I can get hundreds of devices
… we should be able to use filters
… this raises a requirement to have filters even for self discovery

McCool: People are encouraged to contribute their own scenarios
… we should add geolocation mashup (creates scenario description file)

https://github.com/w3c/wot-testing/tree/main/events/2021.03.Online/scenarios/geolocation.md

Daniel: It was difficult to get TDs from github
… I used a map service to lookup location information

McCool: other use cases?

Koster: I'm working on a "one fieldbus" project,
… putting together a small reference platform, perhaps also add a scenario

Koster: not sure if I have sth. available for plug fest

McCool: I have not seen any OPC-UA binding, Siemens had their Pump device
… we need to get TDs updated

<Zakim> dape, you wanted to ThingModel scenaril

Daniel: Getting from a thing model to an actual TD is a scenario

Koster: I'm also working on sth similar in SDF

McCool: thing models / digital twins need a scenario too
… instantiate a TD from a TM

Koster: I have a modbus power supply I can put on a bridge and create a TD

McCool: we only have two weeks left, please write down concrete scenarios
… probably some university work on agricultural scenarios can be considered
… need to discuss with Fraunhofer about discovery

Kaz: Do we use VPN with Amazon web services?

McCool: not necessarily, discovery with mDNS over the Internet is difficult

Kaz: we need to involve Farshid as well

McCool: will discuss discovery scenarios with Farshid on Monday
… AOB?

none
