“This roadmap aims to give the Australian market a better chance of capitalizing on the growing global AI sector,” said Chief Executive Officer of Standards Australia, Adrian O’Connell. “The clear and actionable recommendations in the report will support Australia to reach its full potential in the adoption and use of this technology.”

“AI is an exciting technology with a growing future in the Australian and global market. Through standards we believe we can help build confidence and safeguard against the irresponsible use of this technology and its data,” continued Mr. O’Connell.

Artificial Intelligence Standards Roadmap: Making Australia’s Voice Heard

Australian Awards brings IoT projects, technologies and people from different platforms like water, smart cities, health, transport, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, communities and cybersecurity across Australia, together.

IoTAA CEO Frank Zeichner said it was time to shine a greater spotlight on the world-class ecosystem emerging in Australia around the use of IoT.

“The work going on in the local IoT ecosystem is significant and it’s going to help Australia address many challenges, including our world competitiveness. We are creating a bigger stage for the best of this work, and we hope that encourages further collaboration and innovation,” Zeichner said.

The Australian IoT Awards will see a merger of IoT Hub’s previous awards program and the IOTAA Impact Awards, said Darren McNally, General Manager, nextcustom. “It’s great to join forces with IoTAA and deliver a joint awards program worthy of the Australian IoT community,” McNally said.

Nominations for the Australian IoT Awards will open in July 2020, and information about how to enter will be published on IoT Hub then.

Sponsors of the awards will include Bosch, KPMG, REEKOH and the University of Wollongong.

This paper sets out the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) position on its preferred data access model for the CDR in the energy sector. Consideration of the appropriate data access model is a threshold issue for the implementation of the CDR in energy, as it impacts the authorisation and authentication arrangements for the energy sector, the standards that will be developed, and the allocation of liability.

The IoT Framework was borne from the need for the IoT industry and consumers to access a consistent architecture when referring to their IoT environment(s) regardless of their level of complexity or application.

The Security and Network Resilience enabler workstream within the IoTAA recognised that it would be impossible to create a specific reference security architecture for each and every unique combination of the billions of potential IoT devices the world may see deployed. A straight forward “generic” framework per se was required.

Matt Tett, eWS3 Chair said “Members had to challenge traditional architecture models to develop an IoT Reference Framework that is applicable to any IoT ecosystem. The Framework they have developed is highly adaptable and ensures that the full spectrum from top to bottom is covered. The best thing is that is has security embedded in it ensuring that no longer is information security bolted on as an afterthought, or left aside entirely”.

The IoT Reference Framework:

·       is applicable to any IoT solution architecture; and

·       takes into consideration end-to-end solution aspects, including IoT endpoints, connectivity, network, user, platform, application, solution and ecosystem.

The IoT Reference Framework serves the following purposes:

·       It provides a ‘common language’ to facilitate discussions amongst the IoT community;

·       It provides factual, vendor-neutral information on end-to- end IoT building blocks; and

·       It assists organisations to clearly and simply document and articulate their IoT solution requirements.

Further information on the published IoT Reference Framework can be found here:
