Network of Excellence in Internet Science Network of Excellence in Internet Science (EINS) 2 nd REVIEW Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 FP7-ICT EINS WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability Bart Lannoo (iMinds), Laura Sartori (UniBo)

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 WP Vision  Internet for sustainability is a complex and multi-disciplinary topic, involving different aspects  Environmental: energy and natural resources  Technical: resilience and robustness  Economic: financial and business  Socio-political and cultural: human behavior  JRA8’s main focus has been environmental sustainability  Sustainability of the Future Internet Focusing on the use phase, and having a look at the full life cycle  Future Internet for Sustainability Using Internet to increase sustainability in other sectors  Reaching to the other sustainable aspects through JRA2 / 3 / 7  Multi-disciplinary approach taking user behaviour into account  User adoption: how and why are more sustainable technologies used?  User behaviour: user's level of awareness about potential vs. realistic energy savings WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 Achievements  Investigation of various ICT for Green solutions, focusing on environmental monitoring & smart grid solutions (D8.2)  Identification of future research areas between the involved disciplines  Pursuing innovative research to become a point of reference  Initiation of the work about user behaviour  Intensive discussion during plenary meeting in Munich  Assessment of the user participation, leading to optimal performance of a demand-response mechanism  Increase of the multi-scale integrated focus  Assigned the JRA8 co-leadership to Laura Sartori (UniBo, social sciences department)  Organization of EINS Special Session at the SustainIT2013  Introduction to the EINS project to the SustainIT participants  Presentation of the EINS work in four conference papers  Publication of 27 JRA8 related papers WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 Links with other activities  Reaching to other WPs  Strong interaction with JRA7 Some JRA7 partners attended the JRA8 session at SustainIT2013 Joint JRA7/8 workshop at the DRCN2014 conference confirmed  Initial interaction with JRA3 about monitoring tools / advanced measurement infrastructure  Links with external activities & projects  Organization of workshops to reach out to the community and provide the fora for interdisciplinary interaction  Direct collaboration between EINS and running projects of several JRA8 partners, e.g. iMinds (R8.1 leader):  FP7 project TREND (Towards Real Energy-efficient Network Design) Uni Passau (R8.2 leader):  FP7 projects Hyrim (Hybrid Risk Management for Utility Networks)  DC4Cities (An environmentally sustainable data centre for Smart Cities) EPFL (R8.3/4 leader):  FP7 project Wattalyst (WATT anALYST) WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 JRA Challenges: Input to Internet Science Roadmap  Designing the Internet of the Future  Fostering sustainable Internet technologies E.g. taking full life cycle into account  Enabling future smart grid solutions  Designing the smart grid as a true Internet of Energy by adopting Future Internet design principles E.g. managing fluctuating energy generation and bidirectional energy flows  Motivating prosumer cooperation in smart grids E.g. coordinating communities of consumers  Fostering energy aware behaviour and triggering motivation E.g. engaging the users by developing efficient incentives  Increasing user participation  Providing feedback to the users based on monitored data E.g. necessitating efficient data collection and online data processing  Raising awareness and getting everybody involved E.g. enabling public participation in the decision making process through Internet technology WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 Future Steps  Focusing on the multi-disciplinary approach  User adoption: how and why are sustainable technologies used?  User behavior: user's level of awareness about potential vs. realistic energy savings  Further attention towards  Enabling smart grid solutions Electrical vehicles integrated in the smart grid Smart homes  Adequate monitoring, measuring and data collection Power plugs connected to social networks Water monitoring  Other aspects of Internet for Sustainability will be discussed with the other JRAs  Especially at the cross JRA workshop WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

2nd EINS Review, Brussels, 4-5 February 2014 Conclusions  In year 2, JRA8 work was continued in a good shape:  Identifying future research areas between the involved disciplines  Increased interaction with JRA7  Reaching out to the community in workshops and publications  Building the fundaments for increasing the multi- scale integrated focus Including the assignment of a co-leader from social sciences  Main achievements  1 deliverable, 1 EINS special session organized, several publications and presentations WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability
