Descrizione del progetto
Colmare il divario per l’Industria 4.0 grazie al Fog computing
All’alba dell’Industria 4.0 una rivoluzione alimentata da tecnologie all’avanguardia, si deve affrontare una sfida importante. La convergenza delle tecnologie operative e informatiche (OT & IT) è fondamentale per la realizzazione di questa nuova era. Con il sostegno del programma azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto FORA formerà la prossima generazione di ricercatori per colmare il divario IT-OT e guidare questa convergenza. La rete interdisciplinare, internazionale e intersettoriale di FORA intende sfruttare la potenza del Fog computing, un’estensione logica del cloud computing, per raggiungere questo ambizioso obiettivo. Con 15 ricercatori nella fase iniziale della loro carriera alla guida, il progetto offre una formazione integrata in aree chiave come l’informatica, l’ingegneria elettrica, l’ingegneria di controllo, l’automazione industriale, la matematica applicata e la scienza dei dati.
Obiettivo
We are at the beginning of a new industrial revolution (Industry 4.0): disruptive technologies such as cyber-physical systems, machine-to-machine communication, Big Data and machine learning, and human-robot collaboration will transform the manufacturing and industrial automation sectors. However, Industry 4.0 will only become a reality through the convergence of Operational and Information Technologies (OT & IT). The European Parliament, says that “a very wide range of skills is required for [Industry 4.0] implementation. […] the convergence of IT, manufacturing, automation technology and software requires the development of a fundamentally new approach to training IT experts.” The FORA interdisciplinary, international, intersectoral network will train the next generation of researchers to lead this convergence and cross the IT-OT gap. The convergence will be achieved through the new concept of Fog Computing, which is a logical extension from Cloud Computing towards the edge of the network (where machines are located), enabling applications that demand guarantees in safety, security, and real-time behavior. Research objectives focus on: a reference system architecture for Fog Computing; resource management mechanisms and middleware for deploying mixed-criticality applications in the Fog; safety and security assurance; service-oriented application modeling and real-time machine learning. Our ambitious objectives require individuals with a unique combination of interdisciplinary and intersectoral skills. Thus, FORA’s 15 ESRs will receive integrated training across key areas (computer science, electrical engineering, control engineering, industrial automation, applied mathematics and data science) necessary to fully realize the potential of Fog Computing for Industry 4.0 and will move between academic and industrial environments to promote interdisciplinary and intersectoral learning.
