IoT Standardisation
This session will focus on IoT, with a particular focus on Semantic Interoperability and Reference Architectures. Following the recent developments of the Standardisation workgroup of the Alliance for IoT Innovation (AIOTI WG3), the set up of ETSI’s Specialist Task Force on IoT (STF 505) and developments in key organisations, like IAB’s Semantic Interoperability Workshop and the Architectural Framework for the Internet of Things of IEEE P2413.

Session Speakers

Things, Satcom and manages the 5G-PPP.
Thibaut has worked for the European Commission since 2001, occupying a number of positions, notably in the field of competition policy, where he was head of unit in charge of coordination, and member of Cabinet of
Neelie Kroes in her first mandate where he was in charge of state aid and in her second mandate where he supervised Internet policies, data and cybersecurity. An economist by training, he holds a Master from HEC
Paris and a PhD from the London School of Economics.

As managing director, he has been enhancing IEEE efforts in global standards development in strategic emerging technology fields, through technical excellence of staff, expansion of global presence and activities and emphasis on inclusiveness and good governance, including reform of the IEEE standards-related patent policy.
As member of the IEEE Management Council, he championed expansion of IEEE influence in key techno-political areas, including consideration of social and ethical implications of technology, according to the IEEE mission to advance technology for humanity. Results have been rapid in coming and profound; IEEE is becoming the place to go for debating and building consensus on issues such as Internet governance and ethics in design of autonomous systems.
Before IEEE, Konstantinos played a crucial role in successful French-German cooperation in coordinated research and scenario simulation for large-scale nuclear reactor accidents. And with the European Patent Office, his experience included establishing EPO’s patent academy, the department for delivering technical assistance for developing countries and the public policy department, serving as an envoy to multiple U.N. organizations.
Konstantinos earned a Ph.D. in energy engineering (nuclear reactor safety) and master’s in mechanical engineering from the University of Stuttgart.


Patrick has actively participated in EU research projects related to IoT/RFID and created ETSI ISGs (ISI, LIS, LTN, OEU) and ETSI TC CLOUD. He was Software Engineering Teacher at CNAM (Nice University) for 14 years. He worked as CIO for the French Stock Exchange and for DEC (now HP) as Project Manager and consultant.

Dr Elloumi joined Alcatel-Lucent in 1999 and held several positions including research, system architecture and strategy at different locations including Silicon Valley (CA), Belgium and France. His areas of expertise include IP/MPLS, NGN, IoT and Semantics. He is co-author of books on M2M and IoT and sits on program committees of several key international conferences on IoT.
Dr Elloumi published two books on M2M and IoT, more than 20 journal and conference papers and 10 patents. He is regularly invited as guest/keynote speaker in international conferences and summits.
