model-Based fRamework for dependable sensing and Actuation in INtelligent decentralized IoT systems

Project description

Cooperative intelligence in the IoT landscape

In a world driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), where devices and systems are interconnected, a pressing challenge arises. How can we enable seamless cooperation and intelligent behaviour among a diverse range of IoT platforms? The EU-funded BRAIN-IoT project will tackle this question by creating a ground-breaking framework and methodology. Specifically, it will empower decentralised, dynamic federations of IoT systems to work together harmoniously. This will revolutionise future business-critical and privacy-sensitive IoT scenarios, where dependability is paramount. Through the project, heterogeneous sensors and actuators will autonomously collaborate in complex, ever-changing tasks. BRAIN IoT will offer secure and scalable operations, leveraging an open decentralised marketplace and cutting-edge semantic models. The project will demonstrate its viability through futuristic usage scenarios and proof-of-concept demonstrations.

Objective

BRAIN-IoT focuses on complex scenarios where actuation and control are cooperatively supported by populations of IoT systems. The breakthrough targeted by BRAIN-IoT is to establish a framework and methodology supporting smart cooperative behaviour in fully de-centralized, composable and dynamic federations of heterogeneous IoT platforms.
BRAIN-IoT tackles future business-critical and privacy-sensitive IoT scenarios subject to strict dependability requirements. In this complex setting, BRAIN-IoT enables smart autonomous behaviour in IoT scenarios involving heterogeneous sensors and actuators autonomously cooperating in complex, dynamic tasks. This is done by employing highly dynamic federations of heterogeneous IoT platforms able to support secure and scalable operations for future IoT use cases, backed by an open decentralized marketplace of IoT platform and smart features, supporting runtime deployment and reconfiguration.
Open semantic models are used to enforce interoperable operations and exchange of data and control features, supported by model-based development tools to ease prototyping and integration of interoperable solutions. Overall, secure operations are guaranteed by a consistent framework providing AAA features in highly dynamic, distributed IoT scenarios, joint with solutions to embed privacy awareness and control features.
The viability of the proposed approaches is demonstrated in two futuristic usage scenarios, namely Service Robotics and Critical Infrastructure Management, as well as through a series of proof-of-concept demonstrations in collaboration with on-going IoT large-scale pilot initiatives.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
