Anticipating the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, now that the Internet of Things (IoT) is used for practical applications as well as research, cyberattack is a new potential risk for the IoT. The IoT system model employs clouds and embedded systems together via network. Therefore, the development of the system of Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), a contact for vulnerability information in Japan, is an urgent issue. Therefore, “Vulnerability Advisory Center” has been established in TRON Forum. The security issues for the IoT and the expectations to “IoT Vulnerability Advisory Center” are discussed in this session.

Smart Building can realize efficient energy use in buildings, comfortable environments, efficient building management and improved working practices and productivity in office buildings by using IoT technology and ICT. A variety of information in a building is collected into cloud by the IoT via the Internet, and is used for analysis and improvement. Smart Building does not simply improve the condition of a building. By making available the interface (API), the basis of Smart Building, two or more smart buildings, public transportation, facilities in cities, etc., can be interconnected and improves the convenience of their users enhanced. Smart Building also creates new services and automatic optimal management of buildings is in sight. In this session, Open Smart Building and its core technology are introduced.

The specification of “μT-Kernel 3.0,” TRON Project’s latest real-time OS has been adopted and published. This OS is fully compliant with “IEEE 2050-2018,” the international standard OS specification for IoT edge nodes adopted by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The implementation of the OS based on this specification, and the microprocessor, boards, related software, development environment, etc., which support this OS have been improved. In this session, the overview of μT-Kernel 3.0 and the functions that supercede those in “IEEE 2050-2018” are introduced. The microprocessor manufacturers, board manufacturers, software vendors, etc. who support the OS present the expectation and future outlook of μT-Kernel 3.0.

With wide adoption of the Internet, economy is Logistics changing from “ownership” to “usage” turning dramatically to the age of “XaaS.” System development has become much easier because of the wide adoption of open source, the popularization of cloud, etc. There are leaps in the technical fields such as AI + the IoT, so expectation for agile system development in the enterprises has become more realistic. However, the custom of Japanese companies with low fluidity of human resources has become a major obstacle to adopt such new trend. As one of the solutions, there are high expectations for recurrent education. With the background of such a demand for recurrent education, the concept of the recurrent education provided at INIAD, how to provide such education for real and future vision of university education are presented in this session.
