This survey is part of the project “Architecture for Scalable, Self-*, human-centric,
Intelligent, Secure, and Tactile next generation IoT’ — ‘ASSIST-IoT’”, funded by the European Union’sHorizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 957258.

Task T8.4 (part of WP8) of the project ASSIST-IoT has developed this questionnaire containing tables and heterogenous fields to understand the adoption and implementation barriers of Next Generation IoT solutions (i.e., administrative, political, financial, technological, geographical, cultural or problem-related barriers/drivers.).
For this purpose, WP8 relies on the exposed information on the already developed deliverables of the project (https://assist-iot.eu). It spreads this questionnaire to selected experts and stakeholders to learn about such barriers and drivers.
The questionnaire is structured in seven parts, starting with a profiling chapter to understand the responder’s background, followed by several sub-parts corresponding to the features that characterize each barrier, with a combination of different kinds
of questions (examples: open, closed….).
The aims of the survey are:
To collect experts’ and stakeholders’ opinions on the relevance of each barrier and specific aspect, to feed back the technical and exploitation approaches of the results of ASSIST-IoT.
To understand the different views of the barriers depending on the respondent profiles,
If necessary, to map additional barriers which had not been considered.
This questionnaire is the first of a series of three surveys planned to be exerted by T8.4 of ASSIST-IoT. Whereas this instance focuses on global barriers and their main reasons, the second one will mostly address technological details. The third one will analyse sector-specific concerns alongside highlighting the drivers instead of the barriers.
