Background: The I3 (Intelligent Internet-of-Things Integrator is an innovative IoT data management system developed by USC’s Marshall School of Business and Viterbi School of Engineering with encouragement from the City of Los Angeles and other business interests seeking to create an ecosystem that will encourage the accelerated deployment of IoT technology by creating an environment that allows citizens and businesses to form community managed data marketplaces.
Purpose of the Event: This event represents the formal launch of the I3 consortium byUSC, the City of Los Angeles, and the consortium’s founding member companies/organizations. The I3 consortium is an open consortium that will 1) support an IoT test bed, 2) provide a living environment to study IoT business issues (such as usability, privacy, incentives, business models, return-on-investment), and 3) creation of an opensource distributable that will enable other cities/organizations to replicate the Los Angeles tested IoT environment.
