1. The CEN-CENELEC-ETSI ‘Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities Coordination Group’
ITU-T Forum
Geneva, 13 October 2014
Monica Ibido,
Programme Manager, CEN and CENELEC Management Centre

2. The Context
Cities are ‘driving forces’ in generating European economic and sustainable growth
Expected to deliver ‘more and new’ services, be globally competitive and meet the EU 20/20/20 energy and climate goals
Need for a holistic approach to the economic, environmental, and social challenges that cities are facing
The EU is expected to invest around €200m for Smart Cities in the next two years and standardization?

3. European Standards – evolution

ICT
Environment
Consumers
2010 – 2020 Technology
Eco-design
Social responsibility
Accessibility

eMobility
Smart Cities
Advanced materials
2020 -
Services?
System of systems?
Service innovation?
Near to market innovation?
European Standards – evolution
…meeting stakeholder needs

4. Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities’ Coordination Group
The SSCC-SG was set up at the end of 2012 as a CEN- CENELEC Coordination Group
The Secretariat of the Coordination Group is provided by AFNOR (FR); Chairperson is Mr Jean-Félix, Managing Director of Syntec Ingénierie, and Vice-President of EFCA
ETSI joined in 2014 to cover the ICT aspects
Smart and Sustainable Cities and
Communities Coordination Group

5. The SSCC-CG membership
Members and Observers compose the SSCC-CG Members: representatives from relevant CEN and CENELEC and ETSI Technical Committees, ETSI Secretariat, CEN and CENELEC Advisory and Coordination bodies, CCMC, partner organizations of CEN and CENELEC CEN and CENELEC National Members with an interest Observers: representatives from ISO (ISO/TC 268 ‘Sustainable development in communities’), IEC, ITU, the European Commission/EFTA, interested organisations

6. Scope of the SSCC-CG
Coordinate standardization activities and foster collaboration around standardization work
Advice CEN and CENELEC (Technical) and ETSI Boards, on European interests and needs, relating to standardization on Smart and Sustainable Cities & Communities
Not elaborate European standards but make proposals/recommendations
Take into account existing ISO/IEC/ITU deliverables and activities in view of consistency at international level

7. Activities of the SSCC-CG
It will work by consensus on:
Strategic coordination
Technical coordination
Foster interested parties’ mobilization and support (networks of cities, industries, etc..)
Synergies with the EU initiatives on Smart Cities
Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform
European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities (OIP)

8. Deliverables and timing
Mapping of relevant International, European and National initiatives
Mapping of stakeholders and interested parties in Europe
Mapping of topics and issues to be dealt with, within the scope of smart and sustainable cities and communities
Roadmap presenting the outcome of the 3 Tasks Groups
Recommendations for follow-up actions and for the possible creation of a Technical Committee(s) for future standardization work
Tasks completed by the end of reporting to the CEN and CENELEC (Technical) and ETSI Boards

9. The context setting framework
Development of a “context setting framework”/common reference framework” providing a common understanding of how a city works and a common way to identify the key issues, challenges and opportunities faced by cities

10. Why to have a common model
To make it easier for people implementing smart city projects to find useful standards that already exist and identify more precisely what other standards are needed
To identify gaps and priorities where further standardization is needed
To help in the co-ordination of global smart city standards work
Evolution of the GridWise approach

11. The methodology
Mapping out city purposes towards different city systems
Map out the city systems, the infrastructures connecting them and the city actors involved
Identify the most appropriate set of layers of integration to use to map out the interdependency between the city systems
Analysis of Case Studies for definition and review of relevant layers Develop generic Use Cases

12. Modelling Sustainable and Smart Cities and Communities

13. SSCC-CG activities Running workshops on the context setting framework
(November 2013, January 2014 and May 2014)
Creation of User Story template
and collection of Use Cases
Further testing by NSBs and
revised as necessary
Use SDOs to fill in the database of User stories and
existing initiatives (ex. Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform)

14. Outcome of the workshops
The concept setting framework useful for mapping smart city standards
It can be used as basis for developing a smart city reference architecture
Review as many case studies of smart and sustainable city and community projects as possible
Use synergies with existing initiatives to get more case studies

15. The EIP on Smart Cities
July Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership -EIP
The High Level Group and Sherpa Group: shaping the EIP- SIP and OIP
The Invitation for Commitments in 2014
CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Commitment and the future Action Clusters
The EU funding for Smart Cities

16. The International level
ISO/TC 268 ‘Sustainable development in communities’
ISO TMB Smart Cities Advisory Group
ISO/IEC JTC1 Smart Cities
IEC SEG 1 Systems Evaluation Group
ITU-T SG 5 Smart Cities
And other SDOs !
For Europe the need to establish a common European Standardization strategy
CEN-CENELEC-ETSI
SSCC-CG

17. The ESOs Challenges Play a role !
Common definitions and global concepts understanding
Technologies as key enablers – enlarge the standardization scenario
A ‘context setting framework’ to be developed, tested and shared
Find out a common way to the National/European/International level initiatives
Bring (city) stakeholders on board …including citizens
Education and awareness raising
Promote self-assessment as the best approach for progress measurement
Play a role !

18. Thank you for your attention
