The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is delivering improved productivity, major cost savings, and streamlined processes to professionals from all industries. OMG has been active in IIoT standardization from long before "IIoT" became an industry buzzword. This half-day information session looks at several important areas where OMG standards are proving integral to IIoT efforts around the globe. Industry experts will share case studies of these standards at work in the industrial internet, and present their vision of the future within this rapidly growing field. 

	Data-Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) OMG's Data-Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard provides a protocol that meets the demanding scalability, performance, and Quality of Service requirements of IIoT applications spanning connected machines, enterprise systems, and mobile devices. DDS is deployed world-wide on platforms ranging from low-power, low-footprint devices to Cloud servers. It supports efficient bandwidth usage and flexible real-time system integration for the agile orchestration of system components, while simultaneously providing a global data space for data analytics. Case studies by leading DDS vendors will illustrate this standard's real-world application as the cornerstone of the IIoT.
	System Modeling Language (SysML) SysML is a dialect of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard, and supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. These systems may include hardware, software, information, processes, personnel, and facilities. With the complexity of IIoT Systems, SysML is a valuable tool for looking at the system on an abstract and holistic level.
	Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) IFML is designed for expressing the content, user interaction and control behavior of the front-end of applications. Its use in modeling the front end of software applications perfectly complements other modeling dimensions in broad system modeling projects - including complex systems found in the Industrial Internet of Things.
	Systems Assurance (SysA) and Software Quality (CISQ) The rapid development of truly global machine-to-machine interoperability also brings with it the threat of cyber-attacks and data theft on a previously unimaginable scale. Poorly-secured IIoT systems could pose an existential threat to the industries that deploy them. OMG's Systems Assurance Task Force (SysA TF) works on standards that ensure the reliability, safety and security of IIoT systems. Leading practitioners in the field will present a state-of-the-practice look at current issues in risk management and security assurance, describing the OMG standards and initiatives that will help the Industrial Internet of Things deliver on its promise without succumbing to the threats it faces.
