The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a per
7、manent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establ
8、ishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary stan
9、dards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

Although most of those categories share technology w
25、ith other initiatives and are generally global issues covering wide areas of technical solutions and standards, obviously it could be the initial category from which standards are selected that would support SWM. However, there is an issue not yet very active in SWM, which is the Consumer interface.
26、 Since the water system still has relatively low demand response and low need of home networking for prosumers involvement in the operation, the consumer interface accordingly has no high value in water sector as yet. Meanwhile, there are other issues not reflected in the list, such as the interoper
27、ability model, which identifies the relationship and interworking aspect of players in the entire system or business ecosystem. Though this model is the architectural basis of developing most of the standards for the entire system, there is still not much activity dealing with this in SDOs. ITU-T re
28、port “Partnering for solutions: ICTs in Smart Water Management“ ITU-T 2014 provides related information to it, the stakeholders involved in ICTs and SWM, which is useful to start developing the interoperability model. 4 L series Supplement 14 (10/2015) Another issue which is necessary for the instal
29、lation of networking infrastructure for SWM is critical infrastructure protection. Water system is basically a critical infrastructure which is fundamental for the functioning of a society and economy, so it typically requires a certain level of assured preparedness and response to serious incidents
30、 that involve the system in the region, embodied in the concept of critical infrastructure protection (CIP). A secure industrial network and control system is essential for the realization of CIP, which typically strives for the efficiency and reliability of a single, often fine-tuned system. As ICT
31、 plays a wider role in SWM by enabling a broader range of open communication services required within modern businesses, cybersecurity should also be considered in order to legitimate and control the use of information within the organization. Consideration should also be given to the regulatory sta
32、ndards issues involved in the audit control for the infrastructure. CIP is also related to disaster engineering CINSEC. Finally consideration should be given to the standards from ISO/IEC for water processing, since many of them have overlapping context of standard issues for industry and ICT. By ad
33、ding new issues and eliminating Consumer interface from the list, we now have the following new list of technical domains as a starting point for the investigation: weather forecasting and climate monitoring; water ML2.0; semantic sensor Web; GIS standards; emergency communications; interoperability
34、 model; critical infrastructure protection and disaster engineering; smart metering; water processing. In order to investigate the gaps in SWM standardization, the activities in these domains will be summarized and allocated to the layers of a conceptual model of SWM. By doing the allocation, the do
35、mains will be grouped into the levels of interworking in the system to provide more information of potential needs of standard technology for vertical and horizontal interworking. Thereafter, a table for mapping technical domains to standard organizations will be created to set the actual standardiz
36、ation activities visible in each cross section. Gaps in the table are identified by blanks indicating potential future area of standardization. 4.2 Conceptual model of SWM As focused in FG SWM TR “The Role of ICT in Water Resource Management“ RoleOf ICT, the technical evolution of ICT tools and thei
37、r potential impact and benefit to water sector have been identified since the last decade. The report illustrates major ICT means as applied to water systems with convergence and integration capabilities. New capabilities and services in water management systems can be organized into different layer
38、s. Figure 1 illustrates the major building blocks of smart water management architecture identifying the major functions of each layer. 4.2.1 Meters and sensors As the traditional water management system is perceived to be in the bottom level of the conceptual model, in this Supplement it will be re
39、ferred to as Water infra layer, which consists of two sub layers: structural infra layer and non-structural infra layer. The expression structure has its roots in civil engineering which has led the construction of traditional water management systems. The first tool, meters and sensors is the major
40、 contributor in these sub layers, to bring innovations such as smart metering into the system. L series Supplement 14 (10/2015) 5 4.2.2 Communication infrastructure On the top of the water infra layer, the second tool, communication infrastructure, can be deployed to connect many entities in underly
41、ing water infra layer, to establish an integrated management system as a typical capability of innovation. It enables the enhancement of the efficiency and reliability of enterprise system due to the system level integrated controls. This communication capability also contributes to wider communicat
42、ion with other entities in the level of interworking, such as for emergency communication and new business applications. This new layer based upon the communication infrastructures capability is thus called integrated control and interworking layer in this Supplement. Since this network would be a c
43、ritical infrastructure in many countries, the water authority will prefer to own and protect the network as a critical infrastructure network. Some guidelines and regulations for design, implementation, and operation are required. Figure 1 Conceptual model of water management system with ICT 4.2.3 I
44、nformation system As shown in Figure 1 advanced information systems are emerging based on the integrated control and interworking layer, especially for the innovation functions of water management such as forecasting, analytics and decision support with information and data sharing capabilities. The
45、se information systems include integrated databases, semantics interoperability, cloud based data centres, big data functions and others featured in the Semantics and data sharing layer in this Supplement. This new capability of advanced information systems provides new potentials of the SWM system,
46、 by means of information exchange, integration, analysis, and prediction capabilities. The service and application layer which, based on the semantics and data sharing layer, will provide open connectivity to external information systems to share the information and to interwork with external or pub
47、lic services. 6 L series Supplement 14 (10/2015) 4.3 Domains of standardization in the SWM model The layers in the system identified during the examination of the major tools of innovation for SWM can be generalized, in order to make the system more inclusive, as shown in (Figure 2). The technical d
48、omains identified in clause 4.1 are allocated along with the procedure explained in the clause, to show a simple grouping within the layers in the figure. The result of the allocation gives us, first, an overall understanding on the grouping of the technical domains allocated to the layers, The incorporation of details of the functional entities/actors and how they interact horizontally or vertically is a step by step process that will appear in the system under innovation. This results first in a detailed conceptual diagram of SWM, and second in a list of standards related to any parts of
