In-JeT has been involved in several Smart Communities research projects because we want to strengthen our technology and knowledge base for the services we offer in this domain.
The main aims of our research activities are:
- to acquire technologies and knowledge that supports Smart Communities, Smart Cities, Internet Based Services on the Future Internet: Internet of Things and Internet of Services. We are in particular interested in developing applications using service oriented architecture (SOA), interoperability and self-configuration of devices, context awareness, intelligent service orchestration, trustworthy AI and machine learning, robustness and scalability of services;
- to increase our knowledge of smart applications and services such as , smart buildings, smart manufacturing, remote monitoring;
- to understand the solutions available for a variety of Smart City applications such as water systems, garbage collection, event management, crowd control;
- to understand the technological challenges associated with life-cycle monitoring and traceability of products; consumer products, foodstuff, industrial products, etc., using advanced Internet of Things capabilities;
- to explore the business systems and develop the proper business models that allow us to present convincing and sustainable business cases to stakeholders and decision makers.
Below is a list of our present and past Smart Communities projects.
COMPOSITION
Ecosystem for Intra- and Inter-Collaborative Manufacturing Processes
The COMPOSITION project created a digital automation framework (the COMPOSITION IIMS) that could optimise manufacturing processes with existing data, knowledge and tools to increase productivity. It is a technical operating system for connections between factories and suppliers.
MONICA
Management Of Networked IoT Wearables in Cultural & Security Applications
The MONICA project provided a very large scale demonstration of multiple existing and new Internet of Things technologies for Smarter Living. It was demonstrated with highly relevant IoT applications in public safety at big city events. The solution was deployed in 6 major cities in Europe.
Hydra
Middleware for Networked Embedded Systems using a Service Oriented Architecture
Hydra developed a Networked Embedded System middleware for heterogeneous physical devices to be used to Incorporate heterogeneous physical devices into applications using web service interfaces for controlling any type of physical device.
EPCiR
Enabling Pervasive Computing in Reality - platforms and protocols for pervasive computing
The purpose of the Danish project EPCiR was to investigate and evaluate technical platforms and protocols for pervasive computing and to establish a platform for further research and innovation projects.
ALMANAC
A Reliable Smart Secure Internet Of Things For Smart City Applications
The project developed a Smart City service delivery platform that integrates information systems and sustainable applications. The platform aggregates near real-time data from heterogeneous sensors and actuators and was demonstrated with Smart City applications for water and waste management.
ebbits
Integrating Internet of Things with mainstream enterprise systems
The ebbits project researched architecture, technologies and processes, which allow businesses to semantically integrate the Internet of Things into mainstream enterprise systems and support interoperable end-to-end business applications.
Impress
A Development Platform for Mixed Critical Complex Systems
The IMPRESS project developed a Systems Development Platform (SDP) which enables cost effective development of mixed critical complex systems involving Internet of Things and their services and facilitates the interplay with users and external systems for a sustainable and smarter society.
BEMO-COFRA
Innovative Distributed Communication Framework in Factories
The BEMO-COFRA project developed an innovative distributed communication framework allowing networked monitoring and control of large-scale complex systems. The integration of heterogeneous smart objects, legacy devices and sub-systems will achieve overall systems’ efficiency.
eu-DOMAIN
Organizational Mobility using Ambient Intelligence service Networks
The eu-DOMAIN project was a EU co-funded project that developed an European ambient intelligence service platform for automatic, context sensitive offerings which interconnects people, devices, buildings and content. The platform was demonstrated in factories and healthcare settings.
