== Marchitecture and PR Update==
+
An update of the presentation was sent out on the Mailing List and [http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/m2m-iwg/pptFBTEk7K421.ppt  can be found here]. We will review this on the next call a try to approve for posting.
+
We ran out of time for Ian to update us on PR but he later posted this status:
+
*The momentum press release to  go out Thursday morning 5/24.  It will be posted on the eclipse.org web site and the [http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/5/prweb9524538.htm PRWeb newswire].
+
*Based on feedback and conversations, we will not have an Eclipse booth at Connected World.  Ian will attend the conference and evangelize the IWG objectives.
+
 
+
== Scenario Walk-through and Discussion ==
+
Scott summarized the goals  of the scenario work:
+
*Document key  needs obstacles, and inhibitors, both technical and market based, that the Eclipse M2M community can address with architecture and project deliverables.
+
*Document requirements to be addressed by follow-on architecture and open source project deliverables
+
Call today is to walk through the  the first scenarios provided by Band XI to see if the format and level match our goals:
+
Overall on the [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios#0002 Refrigeration Scenario]/Problems:
+
* Scott  to update Wiki with these goals for further  consideration
+
* Arlen suggested we identify what we want to accomplish and try to scope which scenarios we go after first. He suggested an immediate goal to help developers an integrators see how to "put together M2M applications" and, how the resulting code could feed into the concept of an "app store".
+
* Peter added that we need to also raise and focus on what are expected to be the main architectural issues. James suggested that we keep that in mind but that the problems should leads to architecture and corresponding frameworks.
+
* James noted that these initial scenario/problems imply a hardwired connection to the internet. Because wireless device connections are driving the M2M space, Arlen agreed to look over these scenarios from a wireless requirements perspective and to add additional scenarios representative of the wireless issues and opportunity.
+
* Peter noted that while this level of Scenarios are good, what we are identifying as "Problems" in the wiki will be what end up driving the technical work. Peter feels we need a Scenario and related Problems that are indicative of a "producer/consumer" architecture. He will try to add these.
+
* Ian reminded the group that while we may specific  goals to get to an architecture and project deliverables, this level of  Problems/Scenarios will also prove very educational for people trying to understand this space better.
+
* James indicated they would continue working scenarios when possible.

* There is general consensus that the Continua sequence diagrams can serve as starting point for REST mapping and API work. We will look for means to get that work going in one or more of the projects, on the next call.  Axeda's work on the scenarios will factor into this as well.
 +
* Arlen is still intending to contribute McGnatt. It could  as a "best practices implementation" in combination with some new documentation.
 +
* Possible Webinars
 +
** It was proposed that a whitepaper and/or webinar on Device Management/Provisioning with respect to the Eclipse work, would be of value.  Mats will look further into this.
 +
** A security webinar to outline and discuss security solutions in end-to-end M2M application development
 +
* An introduction to the Lua MQTT client, and the platforms and applications it is being used on.

== PR Update==
 
Ian sent out a draft press release.
 
 
He needs edits back from Eurotech, IBM, and Sierra Wireless on May 17th
 
 
Press release will go out on May 24th.
 
 
== Update and Discussion on Marchitecture ==
 
A new version incorporating edits/comments from last calls, is not yet available.
 
 
Scott asked that the last list of technical challenges be included as a bridge from the problem statement to the goals and objectives of the IWG. He also noted we need to highlight the need to focus on a effective level of decoupling between the producers of device data and the consumers, such as enterprise and web applications. Arlen may propose an additional chart on decoupling and the value to opening up new applications and markets.
 
 
Peter asked for more background on what is driving the volumes and opportunity on chart #2 and that, on chart #4, we not limit the market to B2B.
 
 
Ian thinks a final review draft could be ready in a few weeks.

==Continuation: discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda==
*Arlen Nipper, Paho
+
* Scott gave update on OASIS TC. Last date to join the TC is March 18th.
*Scott de Deugd, IBM  
+
* There was some feedback from review of Continua Sequence Diagrams that it looks like useful input to the API work. No next steps were agreed to but we will revisit this again after Phil and Mats have the opportunity to update the Scenarios and Problems.
*James Branigan, Band XI
+
* Discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda but not covered last week.
== M2M Server Support==
+
**Lua: Axeda would like to contribute to Lua Client. Scott suggested their project lead call into the bi-weekly Paho calls for an introduction to Andy Gelme.  
Arlen gave the group a quick update on putting together an Eclipse-based open source assessment and recommendations for server side support of the MQTT protocol. He has been looking at options and needs, and will be contacting Roger Light (Mosquitto) soon, to follow-up on this.
+
**Best Practices: There still are no volunteers for such a document but Mats said Axeda is interested in taking a lead to get this moving. There was some discussion of integration this with the pending MqGnatt contribution from Cirrus Link so we will discuss again when Arlen can make the cal.
== Update and Discussion on Marchitecture ==
+
* Ian pointed out a potential new contributions from m2m.io (https://twitter.com/kylemroche/status/297462594699157505). It looks that discussion has moved to the MQTT Google Group.
Work on this is progressing. There is a joint call scheduled for this Friday. Hilary will update the IWG on next week’s call.
+
==Modeling Update==
+
The modeling work is focused on a means to describe device data and how it is transmitted on the “wire”. Benjamin is working on a use case to describe some of the requirements for this which he will put on the M2M IWG Wiki.  The also is a sample application being developed demonstrate use of the Model.
+
==Scenarios and Problems==
+
To start looking at addressability and decoupling, James has updated a [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios#0002 Food Refrigeration Unit Zone Control] scenario with a related Problem: [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M-Problems#0002  Sensor and Actuator Identity and Addressability]. He asks everyone to take a look and comment.
+
== Project Related ==
+
Scott wanted let everyone know that there was a discussion on the Paho mailing list about the the emerging  importance of dual licensing  Eclipse M2M runtimes, especially for use/distribution on Linux based where a GPL compatible licensing terms like EDL are expected.

==Discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda==
*Arlen Nipper, Paho
+
*''High level positioning of the MQTT protocol'' (e.g. "long haul" networks). Scott and Arlen gave a brief overview of the discussion the OASIS C charter which led to describing a number of characteristics of MQTT and network topographies it is designed for. While it is well suited for wireless/constrained networks between an M2M gateway/edge and an enterprise type server, we probably want to avoid precluding its uses there, or in other network topologies. The IWG should pursue this as the topic of a white paper and it will be discussed again around MQTT-s (see note below)  
== M2M Server Support==
+
*''Client ID:
Arlen gave the group a quick update on putting together an Eclipse-based open source assessment and recommendations for server side support of the MQTT protocol. He has been looking at options and needs, and will be contacting Roger Light (Mosquitto) soon, to follow-up on this.
+
**The behavior to disconnect existing clients if a client connects to the broker with the same client ID is not ideal. It would be nice if the protocol specified that the broker should auto-assign an unused client ID. Perhaps this could be an option sent in one of the header fields?
== Update and Discussion on Marchitecture ==
+
**It would be great if the client ID could hold at a minimum a UUID length of characters.''
Two sets of presentation materials from Eurotech and Sierra Wireless are now being combined into a single deck as a starting point. The combined draft will be input to the IWG. Sierra is working on a draft vision statement.
+
**It was not clear that this needs to be part of the MQTT protocol Axeda will work this into a requirement set so that the IWG can understand the problem and work on a recommend solution in the Eclipse projects. Phil will take a look at the existing M2M use cases in the form of [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios Scenarios and Problems], to see if they can be modified to include the situations Axeda anticipates.  
== Project Related ==
+
*''MQTT-S: The community needs a public reference implementation of MQTT-S. When we performed our research on MQTT around October of 2012 we were unable to find any public implementations of MQTT-S. I remember seeing that the reason for this is that there are legal issues surrounding the MQTT-S spec somewhere on the MQTT Google Group.''
Marco reported that they are working on the eclipse.org user permissions needed for Chad Kienle to commit. This should be worked out soon.
+
**Scott gave an overview of the OASIS Standardization effort and how it is positioned with Paho. Community feedback so far is that MQTT-S is important, yet out of scope of the OASIS Technical Committee. It is withing the scope of Paho and agreed to take this discussion outside the IWG calls to develop a recommendation.  
Scott will be sure Paho team is following up to get the Lua MQTT contribution moving.
+
*The remaining topics brought up were deferred to a future call.
 
+
== Community Building, Marketing and PR ==
+
Ian has created a Wiki section for this [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/Marketing-Programs here].  
+
Ian will kick off a discussion start a discussion on the next M2M press release.
+
Companies are encouraged to sponsor Eclipse demo camps with M2M theme and/or presentations. DemoCamp are being scheduled for June.

== Update and Discussion on Marchitecture ==
+
Hilary Tomasson has organized the initial calls.  Marco and Benjamin are participating. They have agreed to pull together a rough draft that they will review with the IWG.  They agreed that they should be able to draft a Vision statement from this.
+
 
+
== Scenarios and Problems  ==
+
Benjamin has completed a Wiki template to capture these in the M2M IWG Wiki. The template is  [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios#M2M_Scenario_Description_Template |here].
+
James, Arlen and Benjamin indicated they will be providing scenarios.
+
== Project Related ==

+
Call was opened up to exchange feedback from EclipseCon and the F2F Meeting
+
== Followups and Next Steps from the F2F Meeting  ==
+
As there was not sufficient time to review the Next Steps and ToDo items from  the F2F Meeting, Scott asked to use call to walk through them for discussion and update.
+
This have been added to the [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/Face-2-Face-Meeting-Mar29#Next_Steps_and_Followups|wiki section for the March 29, 2012 F2F Meeting].
+
 
+
== OSGi Support on M2M Servers  ==
+
There was interest and discussion at EclipseCon around  OSGi support on the MQTT server. Both Equinox and Virgo have come up as project to consider. Arlen and Wes have built OSGi server support before and suggest that multiple implementations should be supported.
+
(edit: here is the ink to the Mailing List [http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/paho-dev/msg00023.html|discussion on OSGi] )
+
There was brief discussion about including this on the M2M sandbox server. Currently Mosquitto is C so support for OSGi would probably also lead to a discussion about Java support for the server in the project.
+
== Other contacts - EclipseCon ==
+
*Andy talked to Hitachi folks about home automation. Hilary, Wes and Arlen said they have contacts to see if Hitachi is interested in the Eclipse M2M projects and IWG.
+
*He talked to some Motorola people there, who he will followup with.
+
*There were discussion about MQTT IA92 support that Andy will followup with Dave on.

+
== Discussion on Metamodel Description:  ==
+
Benjamin has updated the metamodel description on the Wiki with an  introduction and purpose. No specific comments yet. Benjamin will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review and comments. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_meta-model
+
 
+
Question came up on whether the metamodel is intended for use in the tooling for application integration and development, or also for defining device parameters and data interface to external systems?  Benjamin responded that it is intended primarily for application development but once defined it could also be used for open interface integration.
+
 
+
A request was made to include an example of instantiating the metamodel. Benjamin was agreeable to this but said he cannot get to it until after EclipseCon.
+
 
+
== Discussion on Scenarios/Problems Description:  ==
+
A proposed format and examples for the Scenarios and related Problems are now on the Wiki. Arlen was OK with format and will add some relevant scenarios. Scott will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review, comments and contributions. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios
+
 
+
== Updates on Project work:  ==
+
*Koneki: team is working to be part of Juno release stream
+
*Paho: C code available now. Java code ready and is getting new package names before release.
+
*M2M Sandbox Server: This is running now. Access control needs to be addressed. Ian will try to get someone from Eclipse IT to the F2F meeting. Arlen has some simple start-up documentation he will provide.
+
 
+
== Agenda for EclipseCon meeting  ==
+
Scott will update Wiki with items discussed today.
+
*Sandbox access control
+
*Discussion around a 2012 focus on “user experience” with Koneki, Paho and Sandbox.
+
*Participants should add themselves to the dedicated [[Machine-to-Machine/Face-2-Face-Meeting-Mar29|wiki page]]

== M2M meta-model  ==
+
 
+
(note from Benjamin: sorry that I likely did forget to write down some of the discussions around the model, feel free to complete!)
+
 
+
*Benjamin will add a preamble to the wiki page to describe in more details the purpose of the meta-model
+
*Peter: how about devices and sensors acting as data feeds?
+
*Arlen: it is more about devices and brokers than devices and servers.
+
*Scott: oBIX may be a good model to describe data. Arlen had use cases with oBIX and MQTT.
+
 
+
== M2M app anatomy, scenarios  ==
+
 
+
*Arlen and Scott will provide a first draft of the description of data manipulation: how to send it, how to receive it...
+
 
+
== Chairperson  ==
+
 
+
*Ian reminds that the chairperson is setting meetings agendas, and running the meetings
+
*The chairperson must be from a strategic or enterprise member company, and only IBM is falling into this category
+
*Scott to take the chairperson role
+
*It is suggested that the chairperson (and co-chairs if any) should be renewed every year
+
 
+
== Agenda for EclipseCon meeting  ==
+
 
+
*The meeting could start earlier if needed (even though there's the keynote in the morning)
+
*There will be a couple of newcomers (QNX, Thingworx, ...), maybe it'd make sense to present them the activities of the Group during the BoF and use the F2F meeting
+
*The main topics would be the M2M meta-model and marketing.
+
*Participants should add themselves to the dedicated [[Machine-to-Machine/Face-2-Face-Meeting-Mar29|wiki page]]

*Ian to send an e-mail to the mailing list to initiate discussions regarding graphical design (Arlen already mentioned that Robert from Eurotech could work on a logo&nbsp;; Sierra graphical designer could work on UX&nbsp;; ... )
+
*EclipseCon will be the occasion to discuss when we want to put the site online (e.g. soft launch asap or wait until a more complete chain has been implemented?)

== Relationship with standard organizations  ==
+
 
+
*Scott: ETSI is doing a lot in m2m space. MQTT particularly interested in OASIS. Continua health alliance …
+
*Arlen: is there something to be done w/ CoAP?
+
*Scott: should we engage a couple of vertical areas?
+
*Benjamin: standardization may not be the next important thing to focus on while we don't have much to share
+
*IBM and Eurotech are pushing MQTT to OASIS anyway, but the question is: would MQTT make sense for other standards orgs such as ETSI?
+
*Ian: no hurry while we don't have a better and common understanding of the m2m apps anatomy and so on
+
 
+
== Follow-up on f2f meeting actions  ==
+
 
+
*Metamodel first thoughts to be put by Benjamin on the wiki this week

*Overview and background
+
**Ian: we should define M2M better in the first section
+
**Ian: is the roadmap only related to Eclipse projects?
+
**Ian: highlight that we want to build an industry consortium
+
*Basic Principles
+
**Arlen: the feedback on MQTT recent announcements is that ppl think that everybody seems to pick his specific protocol and promote it / try to turn it into a standard
+
**Mike &amp; Arlen: we are fine with existing protocols (recent discussion about DNP 3.0 in MQTT google group), we don't aim at replacing them. We want to be above existing protocols.
+
**There are questions still open in this section. Let's keep them as is and put the roadmap draft on the wiki.
+
**Arlen: use cases definition is a difficult task&nbsp;; especially if we have carriers involved (difficult to end up with use cases which are not too generic)
+
*M2M vision, purpose &amp; scope
+
 
+
''Mike reminds that the charter is not final yet. We are in a 30-day period where the community can give feedback. Even after that period of time, updates to the charter are still possible though.'' ''The M2M Industry Working Group is part of an Open Source Foundation: we are looking at code contributions, not ending up with standards/open standards.''
+
 
+
**Ian: detail as much as possible where we want to go. What would be the success criteria for Koneki, for Paho
+
**Synchronize the roadmap of individual projects / be sure they are in sync with the global roadmap of the IWG itself.
+
**Mike: if Mosquitto is going to be hosted at Eclipse, it has to be in the scope
+
**Ian: we should have a bottom-up approach --&gt; "Here is what we want to accomplish, do you want to help us?"
+
**Mike: need to have short iterations if possible
+
*Near term direction
+
**Everybody agrees that 12-18 months is a good duration (revision of the roadmap in ~6 months if needed)
+
**Ian: roadmap v1.0 will have to be voted (as well as how to revise it)
+
*Roadmap process:
+
**Mike: say that we solicit feedback from the community, but mentioning that the steering committee will have to vote/approve changes
+
 
+
== Face-to-face meeting  ==
+
 
+
*suggested date is Jan. 31st, in IBM Hursley
+
*TBC before Christmas.
+
 
+
== Recruitment  ==
+
 
+
*Members of the IWG discussed about companies that might be interested in joining the IWG (and becoming members of the EF)
+
*Recruiting universities and research institutes would be very valuable: they could run their projects as Eclipse projects…
+
 
+
== Mosquitto setup at Eclipse  ==
+
 
+
*Ian and Arlen still need to setup a meeting with Eclipse webmasters (user management, ACL, …)

+
*BoF
+
**About 10-12 interested people: home automation hobbyists, ppl working in companies interested in M2M
+
**We need to agree on a common terminology: Benjamin to initialize a page on the wiki
+
**We need to come up with a "big picture"
+
**People don't quite get how MQTT will address the fragmentation in terms of "local" protocols (Modbus, CANbus, …)
+
***clarify what MQTT is and what MQTT is not
+
**"Communication challenge" ahead: everybody has its own definition of M2M
+
**We need a roadmap!
+
*Modeling / Hobbyists
+
**People really interested by the approach where you work on the abstraction of what the application is doing (e.g. get a temperature every 10 min)
+
*Setup a Mosquitto instance at Eclipse to lower the barrier for people (inc. hobbyists) to prototype more easily?
+
**Deploy an Ubuntu version of Mosquitto at eclipse.org
+
**Set-up to be discussed with Eclipse webmaster (Arlen and Ian)

Revision as of 00:16, 19 February 2013

The Machine-to-Machine Industry Working Group is holding weekly calls on Tuesday at 9amET.
Participation to these calls is restricted to members of the IWG, but the minutes are public.

The meetings are held via teleconference. The regular call-in numbers are as follows (if possible, please used caller paid numbers)

  • Ottawa (local call in Ottawa) 1-613-454-1403
  • North America (toll free) 1-877-369-7806
  • Germany (local call anywhere in Germany) 49-692-2224-6059
  • France (local call anywhere in France) 33-17-070-8535
  • UK (toll free) 0800-033-7806

Participant conference extension: 427, then enter pin 1156

  • SIP clients can call 427@asterisk.eclipse.org, then enter pin 1156.


Feb 19, 2013 (proposed agenda)

  • Starting API Work.
  • MqGnatt contribution



Feb 12, 2013

  • There is general consensus that the Continua sequence diagrams can serve as starting point for REST mapping and API work. We will look for means to get that work going in one or more of the projects, on the next call. Axeda's work on the scenarios will factor into this as well.
  • Arlen is still intending to contribute McGnatt. It could as a "best practices implementation" in combination with some new documentation.
  • Possible Webinars
    • It was proposed that a whitepaper and/or webinar on Device Management/Provisioning with respect to the Eclipse work, would be of value. Mats will look further into this.
    • A security webinar to outline and discuss security solutions in end-to-end M2M application development
  • An introduction to the Lua MQTT client, and the platforms and applications it is being used on.



Feb 5, 2013

Attendees

  • Mats Samuelsson, Axeda
  • Patrick Dempsey, Band XI
  • Hilary Tomasson, Eurotech
  • Scott de Deugd, IBM

Continuation: discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda

  • Scott gave update on OASIS TC. Last date to join the TC is March 18th.
  • There was some feedback from review of Continua Sequence Diagrams that it looks like useful input to the API work. No next steps were agreed to but we will revisit this again after Phil and Mats have the opportunity to update the Scenarios and Problems.
  • Discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda but not covered last week.
    • Lua: Axeda would like to contribute to Lua Client. Scott suggested their project lead call into the bi-weekly Paho calls for an introduction to Andy Gelme.
    • Best Practices: There still are no volunteers for such a document but Mats said Axeda is interested in taking a lead to get this moving. There was some discussion of integration this with the pending MqGnatt contribution from Cirrus Link so we will discuss again when Arlen can make the cal.
  • Ian pointed out a potential new contributions from m2m.io (https://twitter.com/kylemroche/status/297462594699157505). It looks that discussion has moved to the MQTT Google Group.


Jan 29, 2013

Attendees

  • Mats Samuelsson, Axeda
  • Phil Lombardi, Axeda
  • Joe Biron, Axeda
  • Patrick Dempsey, Band XI
  • Arlen Nipper, Paho
  • Benjamin Cabé, Sierra Wireless
  • Scott de Deugd, IBM

Discussion of MQTT related topics raised by Axeda

  • High level positioning of the MQTT protocol (e.g. "long haul" networks). Scott and Arlen gave a brief overview of the discussion the OASIS C charter which led to describing a number of characteristics of MQTT and network topographies it is designed for. While it is well suited for wireless/constrained networks between an M2M gateway/edge and an enterprise type server, we probably want to avoid precluding its uses there, or in other network topologies. The IWG should pursue this as the topic of a white paper and it will be discussed again around MQTT-s (see note below)
  • Client ID:
    • The behavior to disconnect existing clients if a client connects to the broker with the same client ID is not ideal. It would be nice if the protocol specified that the broker should auto-assign an unused client ID. Perhaps this could be an option sent in one of the header fields?
    • It would be great if the client ID could hold at a minimum a UUID length of characters.
    • It was not clear that this needs to be part of the MQTT protocol Axeda will work this into a requirement set so that the IWG can understand the problem and work on a recommend solution in the Eclipse projects. Phil will take a look at the existing M2M use cases in the form of Scenarios and Problems, to see if they can be modified to include the situations Axeda anticipates.
  • MQTT-S: The community needs a public reference implementation of MQTT-S. When we performed our research on MQTT around October of 2012 we were unable to find any public implementations of MQTT-S. I remember seeing that the reason for this is that there are legal issues surrounding the MQTT-S spec somewhere on the MQTT Google Group.
    • Scott gave an overview of the OASIS Standardization effort and how it is positioned with Paho. Community feedback so far is that MQTT-S is important, yet out of scope of the OASIS Technical Committee. It is withing the scope of Paho and agreed to take this discussion outside the IWG calls to develop a recommendation.
  • The remaining topics brought up were deferred to a future call.
