In this paper, we discuss the global unified standards for the Internet of Things software products and existing de-facto standards (practical approaches). Using specific examples of interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy tags we compared existing approaches to the development and the proposed global standards (FI-WARE). Can the proposed unified approach to the creation of services to cover all the possible use cases and scenarios for Internet of Things and Smart Cities services? The paper emphasizes the need to address the simplicity of the development and highlights the critical importance of such a thing as the time to market for new applications and services. By our opinion, time to market and the simplicity of the development are key parameters for any proposed software standard.

“…The options enable high application configurability, but raise interoperability difficulties in case of configuration mismatches. Additionally, software vendors add product specific extensions [4] as a result of existence of open points in standards or intent to lock user into a proprietary technology.…”

Abstract. Web services standards were designed to enable interoperability of heterogeneous application servers in the Service Oriented Architecture. Although the standards proved to be highly successful, there are still difficulties in effective services integration. The paper presents a methodology that enables description of application servers interoperability in order to improve the service integration process. The methodology proposes a systematic classification of Web services standards, versions and configuration options, and uses the classification for interoperability rating. Concrete integrations are rated by developers that specify integration scope, configuration complexity and required expertise level. The methodology was implemented in a web system that enables definition of standards and configuration options as well as rating of integrations. As a part of the research, interoperability experiments were executed and registered in the system.

“…We note that the European Commission reports, in its annual scoreboard, that "sufficient ICT skills" is an area of major concern as half of "European labour force does not have sufficient ICT skills to help them change or find a new job." (EC, 2012) Second, it is widely acknowledged that there are risks and different types of lock-in effects associated with use of closed file formats (Egyedi, 2007;Ghosh, 2005;Lundell, 2012). One such concern is educational lock-in which may occur in situations when a company sponsors provision of IT and training of teachers (Kirk, 2008), and with such practices there may be significant long-term effects on IT practices.…”

Open Source Software: Quality Verification

Abstract. We draw from a study aimed to establish the state of practice concerning schools' expectations and provision of IT and software applications in Swedish schools. Analysis focuses on Open Standards and Open Source Software (OSS), and considers educational lock-in. Results consider schools' expectations and provision of software and standards for digital artefacts, and show that schools expect students to use a variety of different software systems including a number of well-known OSS. The study reveals significant misconceptions concerning standards and software applications, characterises problems, and presents some recommendations for action. IntroductionThe use of IT and pedagogical software in schools has received significant attention in many countries in a desire to gain positive pedagogical effects and prepare students for society and working life (e.g. Balanskat et al., 2006; IES, 2009;Livingstone, 2012). In acknowledging mixed experiences there is also some research addressing teaching and learning experiences from Open Source Software (OSS) usage at University (e.g. German, 2005;Kilamo, 2010;Lundell et al., 2007) and high school levels (e.g. Lin and Zini, 2008), but there is a lack of research on expectations and provision of open standards and OSS in schools for young students. As part of a study aimed to establish the state of practice concerning IT usage in Swedish public sector schools with students in ages 7-19, this paper presents novel results from an analysis covering all Swedish schools for young students (ages 7-16). Specifically, results presented concern: provision of OSS applications for use by students; requirements for students related to use of different document formats (standards); requirements for students related to use of software applications for writing essays; and provision of software applications for writing essays. Our analysis provides a state of practice and addresses different implications of educational lock-in and its long-term implications.A number of factors motivate consideration of Open Standards and OSS in an analysis of IT usage in public sector schools, and there are a number of initiatives and previous research efforts related to the study.First, skills development in the ICT sector has been identified as important, not only for public sector procurement and standardisation, but also for a range of
