58 Internet of Things Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda
developers to innovate and create something interesting using the
system’s data and services, ultimately driving the system’s use and
adoption.
• Developers need to be attracted since the implementation will be
done on a development platform. Developers using different tools
to develop solutions, which work across device platforms playing
a key role for future IoT deployment.
• Security needs to be built in. Connecting things previously cut
off from the digital world will expose them to new attacks and
challenges.
The research challenges are:
• Design of secure, tamper-proof and cost-efficient mechanisms for
tracking food and water from production to consumers, enabling
immediate notification of actors in case of harmful food and communication
of trusted information.
• Secure way of monitoring production processes, providing sufficient
information and confidence to consumers. At the same time
details of the production processes which might be considered as
intellectual property, should not be revealed.
• Ensure trust and secure exchange of data among applications and
infrastructures (farm, packing industry, retailers) to prevent the
introduction of false or misleading data, which can affect the health
of the citizens or create economic damage to the stakeholders.
2.3.8 Participatory Sensing
People live in communities and rely on each other in everyday activities.
Recommendations for a good restaurant, car mechanic, movie, phone plan
etc. were and still are some of the things where community knowledge helps
us in determining our actions.
While in the past this community wisdom was difficult to access and often
based on inputs from a handful of people, with the proliferation of the web and
more recently social networks, the community knowledge has become readily
available — just a click away.
Today, the community wisdom is based on conscious input from people,
primarily based on opinions of individuals. With the development of IoT
