Jiangsu Provincial Technology Center for Testing and Validation of Internet of Things
Jiangsu Provincial Technology Center for Testing and Validation of Internet of Things (IOT) was established in 2011 on the basis of Joint Laboratory of Computing of Wireless Mobile Sensor Networks, co-founded by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, and the Department of Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The center relies on Nanjing University and is supervised by Jiangsu Economic and Information Technology Commission.
The center has the following major aims:
1. Jiangsu Internet-of-Things Public Service Platform
Enterprises need a matching testing and verification environment to push ahead with the industry development of the Internet of Things (IOT). In order to promote healthy and orderly development of IOT industry in Jiangsu Province, the center will develop an open public service platform, which provides a convenient testing and verification environment for researchers and product developers to acquire test data. With its top-notch professionals and facilities, the center will make continuous efforts in research on standards and technology, in testing and certification, and in supervision and inspection so as to serve the rapid expansion of China’s IOT industry as well as the development and upgrade of IOT industrial clusters of Jiangsu Province.
2. International and National Authoritative Standard Verification Body
With the deepening of economic globalization, standardization of IOT will play an important role in international competition, and the competition of IOT standardization will become a deeper, higher-level and more influential kind of competition after product competition and brand competition. Therefore, countries around the world pay much attention to the standardization of IOT and raise the standardization to the level of national development strategy. The center will join international certification organizations and take part in relevant work, and make its contribution to the participation of China’s enterprises in international competition.
3. Experimental Platform for High-Level Research
Following the principle of “Planning with high aims, constructing by high standards, and making progress at a high speed,” the center is striving to come up with solutions to common requirements and typical applications in testing and validation of IOT research, to develop management and operation mechanisms of openness, sharing, competition and efficiency, and to improve teaching and scientific research condition and facilities of the experiment platform. Based on the construction of the experimental platform, the center strives to improve its technological innovation on IOT testing and verification and solve important S&T problems concerning the application of IOT, improve its competitive strength to undertake national significant scientific and technical duties and carry out high-level international cooperation, improve disciplinary optimizing and crossing, make significant scientific and technological achievements in IOT testing and verification and play an important role in the development of the national innovation system.
