CASAGRAS - Foundational features

• Further understanding and exploitation of object
  space, object grouping and object-based
  connections as a basis for identifying
  applications and services and developing a design
  methodology to facilitate more effective
  solutions.
• Further development of the applications and
  services framework, through better understanding
  of processes and service requirements, and again
  as a basis for identifying applications and
  services and developing a design methodology to
  facilitate more effective solutions.
• 3. Identification and development of services
  infrastructure and particular global network
  services geared to exploiting international
  sources of information, knowledge and resources
  that can better serve international needs through
  cooperation.

CASAGRAS - Foundational features

• Foundation principles for direct Internet
  connection applications and services.
• Further extending the principles of
  object-connected ICT to encompass the evolving
  ICT features of the IoT and as basis for
  accommodating the attributes of supporting
  technologies and underpinning design and
  application methodology.
• Attention to harmonised and non-harmonised
  standards in respect of regulatory control and
  issues of interoperability.
• Establishment of a central, global library of
  regulations regularly updated to satisfy design
  and support needs.

CASAGRAS - Foundational features

• Attention to social and economic issues,
  including privacy and security of personal
  information and their significance with respect
  to IoT applications and services development.
• Governance and the need to establish a model that
  is built on transparent, fair and
  non-discriminatory international principles, free
  of commercial interest.
• Policy issues in respect of international
  cooperation, including their significance with
  respect to governance.

5
CASAGRAS - Infrastructural and architectural
features

• Development of identification resolver approach
  proposed through CASAGRAS for accommodating the
  need for global coding for identification,
  designed to accommodate legacy identification
  systems.
• Development of architecture and infrastructure
  for direct object-to-Internet applications and
  services.
• Exploitation of the Service Oriented Architecture
  (SOA) and associated network architecture for IoT
  services design.
• Development of universal data appliance protocol
  (UDCAP) for plug-and-play accommodation of
  conventional AIDC technologies and other
  object-connectable edge devices.
• Monitoring and adoption of relevant developments
  in ubiquitous computing and networks.

CASAGRAS -
CASAGRAS - Technological Developments

• Further development of standards-compliant RFID
  devices and readers
• Lower cost, lower power sensor and processing
  platforms, to support the design and realisation
  of sensory networks
• Further development of location and positioning
  technologies to support IoT applications and
  services.
• Further development of object-connectable
  communications platforms, including near field
  communication structures.
• Lower cost, higher performance energy harvesting
  and other powering techniques to support the
  development and exploitation of IoT wireless
  devices.

CASAGRAS -
CASAGRAS - Technological Developments

• Biometric-based interfaces for IoT applications
  and services involving human-centric involvement.
• Privacy and security support technologies,
  including cryptographic devices based upon
  natural feature identification (physical one-way
  function devices).
• Intelligent embeddable processing and
  communication devices to facilitate automatic
  nodal functionality.
• Physical natural feature identification readers
  and IoT interfaces for exploiting natural feature
  identification.
• Middleware and other software developments,
  including intelligent processing platforms to
  support IoT functionality and services design.
