Hello We're planning to start writing a new XEP proposal for IoT device discovery. I've received interest from a couple of people who wants to work on this. If anybody is interested in participating in this work, please let me know. The first proposal for the proto-XEP will be published in normal order on the standards list for anybody to comment on. Best regards, Peter Waher

Comments on XEP0323

by Emmanuel Frécon

Dear Folks! I have just gone through a thorough reading of XEP-0323 with the view of understanding its details before an implementation. I have a number of comments and suggestions, but also questions that I would like to share and raise. Note that I haven't spent so much time on "cross-XEP" reading. But first of all, I would like to congratulate Peter on putting together a strong (set of) XEP(s) that aim at solving some of the issues faced by IoT applications! Well done. And now... comes the list in no particular order, you will notice that there is a mix of tiny problems and sometimes larger questions. * I have a general question about security and request/responses. I don't see any protection against too many requests sent within a too short time frame. This could harm the receivers since we are usually talking about tiny devices with few resources. The proposal mentions that these requests might not be served, but having to process too many of them, even if taking the decision of not serving them might put a small sensor to its knees. I understand that requesting and requested must be friends, but such an issue might occur because of bad coding or corner cases being reached. I have no real solution, but I thought that I would mention it. * Every example in the text uses a sequence number that matches the "id" field of the <iq>. A non-initiated might be misled that they should be the same. * I am bit puzzled by having values listed as a sub-element of a <timestamp>. This is especially true since, for example, errors place the timestamp as an attribute of the <error> tag. What are the design decisions that led to this ordering? * As a side-note, I think that some of the example should highlight the fact that the dateTime type can also specify fractions of seconds, these might be important for some applications. * Since units are only under recommendation (and I think that this is very wise), we might consider having not having them as a "required" attribute for numerical values at all. Obviously, this is not very interoperable but it is as good as introducing unknown units that are only recognised within the namespace of an application. * In the read-out from multiple devices, I would have preferred that the <field>s are placed as sub-element of the <node>. * Wouldn't it be more future-proof to have <historical*> field types represented by a field called <historical> with an attribute describing the period of the history? * I wonder what the real difference is between "peak" and "computed" in the field types. The problem that I have with peak is that it shuts off other mathematical constructs such as mean, median, average, etc. Maybe is "peak" misleading just by its name, or maybe is it too specific and we could allow for a "comment" (or "method") attribute for the "computed" field type? * My first reaction to localising strings was that it brings unnecessary complexity to the XEP. The name of the fields, as transported over the wire/air, will seldom be shown to the user without passing through a software layer that would be able to perform the necessary localisations? Why should this information be carried as part of the protocol? Please bear with me if you already have discussed some of these issues in the past. I hope that this input will help improving the content of the XEP. /Emmanuel

Re: [IOT] [Standards] Standard for Throttling/Queueing Stanzas

by Peter Waher

Hello Spencer As Joachim mentioned, there is interest from the Internet of Things (IoT) community to create such a XEP. In fact, it is already planned because there's a need, but it is yet to be written. Anybody interested in co-authoring such a XEP is welcome to contact me. The envisioned XEP however is not IOS specific, but rather concerns battery-powered sensors, but can be applied to sensors in resource constrained networks (where bandwidth is constrained). The same solutions can be applied in the IOS case you mentioned, since it can be seen as a resource constrained device, when the application runs in the background. Peter Saint-André mentioned that the deferred XEP 0273 could solve part of this issue, by permitting the filtering of certain messages. Forwarding of offline stanzas (XEP-0160) can also be used. I.e. the bandwidth can be controlled by the device, using the presence as an indication when the server can send information. (Here battery powered sensors often go into sleep mode and wake up regularly to perform a task. They can only receive messages when awake.) Other solutions can be envisioned, for instance using presence=away to signal clients restricting them to send important messages only, queuing not as important messages for later when online, etc. Ideas are welcome. Best regards, Peter Waher From: Spencer MacDonald [mailto:spencer.macdonald.other@gmail.com] Sent: den 27 oktober 2013 13:17 To: XMPP Standards Subject: [Standards] Standard for Throttling/Queueing Stanzas I have observed from the XMPPFramework mailing list and Github issues, that one of the biggest problems that iOS Developers have with including XMPP (alongside VoIP) in their iOS apps, is that their apps get terminated for receiving to much data while in the background. There are proprietary solutions that allow an XMPP client to inform the XMPP Server that the app is going to be put in the background. The XMPP Server then queues the stanzas until the client in with the XMPP Server, which on iOS is less than or equal to 10 minutes. Some solutions also filter out presence packets so only the most recent one is queued for each jid. I appreciate that the problem is iOS specific, but the solution can be generic. Is this something that should be incorporated into an XEP? or is there already a solution for this issue? Regards Spencer

Fwd: [FOSDEM] CFP for Internet of Things Devroom

by Peter Saint-Andre

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [FOSDEM] CFP for Internet of Things Devroom Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:18:17 +0200 From: Pieter Hintjens <ph(a)imatix.com> To: fosdem(a)lists.fosdem.org, devroom-managers(a)lists.fosdem.org Next February 2nd, we're organizing a [http://fosdem.org FOSDEM] devroom for the Internet of Things. We're now calling for proposals. Do you have an interesting project you'd like to present to 5,000+ free and open source developers? If you have a project you'd like to present, or a talk you want to give, please submit it via [https://penta.fosdem.org/submission FOSDEM's Pentabarf] web tool. You will create an account (if you don't have one from a previous year), and select the "Internet of Things devroom" as the track. We'll discuss and select talks on [https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/iot-devroom the Google iot-devroom group]. Anyone who wants to join in the review process, please just join that group. The organizers will take the final decision on talks if there is no consensus. We'll look for talks that include a technical/developer oriented discussion or showcase covering one or more of the following topics: * FOSS solutions for machine-to-machine communication on small embedded devices. * Distributed FOSS applications in any field of interest for autonomous/self-controlled devices, (e.g. domotics, automotive, etc. * Presentation of embedded devices with one or more possibilities to join a network. * Infrastructure related (TCP/IP, mesh networking, message queuing, cross-layer solutions). * Real-life problematics and their solution (Cost of maintenance, power management, reachability). * Interoperability solutions for heterogeneous applications, devices, protocols, media. All presentations must be fully FOSS, and related to software development. The devroom will last one day, with a welcome at 9:45, and talks from 10:00 to 17:00. Provisionally, talks will last 25 minutes each, and we will have a brainstorming / hacking session from 15:30 to 17:00. The goal is to make this devroom as interesting and diverse as possible, which means we will favor talks that contrast each other. For the hacking session, proposals are welcome. We will consider running multiple parallel hacking sessions during the same time. The deadline for submissions is December 1st. If you submit late, your talk may still be considered but will have to be exceptionally interesting. The program will be finalized by December 30th. _______________________________________________ FOSDEM mailing list FOSDEM(a)lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/fosdem
