  1. WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability Bart Lannoo (iMinds), Laura Sartori (UniBo)

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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
