Meeting minutes

Conexxus use cases and plugfest participation

Lagally: possibility of Conexxus' participation in Plugfests in the future?

David: would think about that

Lagally: maybe we could work on some topic on simulations

David: Jack, do you have somebody could help in your mind?

Jack: yeah

Lagally: simulated behavior like state change
… on and off
… something like a pump
… handling fluid level

David: maybe a group meeting would be helpful

Lagally: next Plugfest would be in March next year

David: right time frame for us too

Lagally: we should talk about the next steps

Minutes

Nov-23

Lagally: (goes through the minutes)

<mlagally> typo with "moratorium"

fixed

(some discussion on time synchronization)

(also about consolidating multiple clock ticks using events, etc.)

Lagally: any problems?

(none)

approved

Lagally: had nice discussion on time series data as well

David: first thing wanted to show is the chart
… I showed last time
… [Device comparison]
… first column is IoT Primary devices
… it is important to clarify what the devices, e.g., a camera, do
… and then today's slides
… [WoT and "Pseudo-devices"]
… fed data from video/audio input streams
… a camera provide video streams
… and smart speakers provide audio streams
… "pseudo-devices" then substitute computation resources for discrete devices
… client devices understand IoT languages
… security implication of storing the video data on the cloud side

Lagally: camera taking infra-red data possibly
… every certain time period
… that is my image

David: we call it (infra-red) heat map
… see the store's layout in different color depending on the temperature
… [Simple Schematic]
… video -stream- processor - WoT Facade- clients
… the ability to reuse the capability
… [TD: Cooler Door]
… [Pseudo-devices in action]
… transport mechanism may be Web Socket or anything
… (connection between Camera and Edge AI Processor)
… the first consume opens the door
… event invoked
… the edge AI get the event
… the POS System only gets the notification
… a lot of legacy devices need upgrade paths
… skimming devices to get credit data, etc.
… flexible AI-based system

Jack: they can leave the existing devices
… based on regulatory, safety, etc.
… might have some push back

David: there is a study done on transition to EMV

Lagally: question about the maintenance event
… this is a boolean event
… [TD: Cooler Door]
… any insight about the possible data structure?

David: not thinking about the detail, but something like facing one direction or another

Lagally: another question on the sequence diagram
… [Pseudo-devices in action]
… encrypted data connection with the AI processor?

David: problem with the API ecosystem
… not all the edge devices don't have HTTPS capability
… the connection here is protected by OAuth2
… also TLS
… this side (AI Processor on the right side) is protected

Lagally: do you have bandwidth to put this idea into a use case?

David: need somebody

Jack: next week?
… will catch up with David

Lagally: aob?
