2. Convergence in EVERYWHER
Convergence of technology
Convergence of business and ecosystem
Convergence of people, application, things, data, devices, etc.

3. Convergence of IoT, big data and cloud
For IoT, number of billions of connected devices is an indicator of IoT. The connectivity is just an enabler but the real value of IoT is on data (business insight/data-driven economy)
For Big Data, data collection is one of the main concern, and IoT can play an important roles for data collection and data sharing
For Big Data, data is nothing without real business value insight
Cloud offers Everything as a Service business model for IOT and big data.
IoT is a King, Big data is a Queen and Cloud is a Palace

4. Cloud-based IoT Big Data applications
Massive monitoring
Real-time actionable insight
Observation
Performance and optimization
Proactive and predictive
Prescriptive and descriptive

5. Key requirements of IoT-Big data platform
Security and privacy
Intelligent and dynamic
Scalable
Distributed and decentralized
Real-time

6. iKaaS-EU-Japan IoT big data platform
Global Cloud
Knowledge
Storage
The goal of this project is to combine ubiquitous and heterogeneous sensing, smart objects, semantic, big data and cloud computing technologies in a platform enabling the Internet of Things process consisting of continuous iterations on data ingestion, data storage, analytics, knowledge generation and knowledge sharing phases, as foundation for cross- border information service provision.

7. Smart city opportunities and challenges
Smart City is a concentration of people and devices
Currently 72% of the EU population lives in urban areas, using 70% of our energy.
Most of the data is generated by people/citizen and process/machine
IoT/ big data can offer value to energy systems, mobility, climate change, and water and air quality, crime, autonomic car.

8. Madrid City-Environmental Health
Environmental health use case focusing on pollutants, pollen, airborne contaminants, precise detection to offer improve accuracy of information to citizen
Install number of environment city sensors on-board public transportation, to correlated with historical environment health data

9. Sendai Smart Village in Japan
Tago-Nishi is build as a smart city, including town management and health services
Offering personalize and context aware services, considering the data from energy-consumption of each of the house, weather, wearable, etc.

10. Open Innovation Platform for IoT-Big data in Sub-Sahara Africa
Lower entry level for SMEs and application developers
Improve living and working condition of African rural community
Technology
Long-distance remote monitoring, control and users notification
Prediction, forecasting, optimization and big data analytic applications

11. WAZIUP application domains
Irrigation
Livestock farming
Fish farming
Storage and logistic
Mobile health
Fresh water

12. Sense of connection!
“Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else”- Buddha
One more from Advaita Philosophy; it’s also called non-duality…
It says …
"the sense that all things are interconnected and not separate, while at the same time all things retain their individuality".

13. Conclusion Convergence is everywhere, it is just starting
Think on the how your business will convergence and scale-up
Need for more large-scale IoT and big data testing and experimentation
In developed counties majority people are living in City whereas in developing countries still living rural area
IoT, Big data and Cloud are the future of the world
