Project Overview

Builds the Sensing-as-a-Service model to enable data trading between IoT data owners and consumers, unlocking siloed datasets for broader value.

The Sensing-as-a-Service (S2aaS) model addresses the challenge of fragmented IoT data by enabling data exchange between owners and consumers. Data owners who operate IoT solutions can be rewarded (through money, loyalty points, gifts, vouchers, bitcoin, or actionable advice) for sharing their personal data.

The initiative aims to unlock hidden knowledge trapped in disconnected data silos, improving lives, reducing resource waste, and optimising business operations. S2aaS investigates how IoT data owners can trade their data for value, enabling analytics across traditionally siloed datasets while considering incentives, privacy, and governance.
