At the end of FogGuru (30/11/2021), the project has achieved its research, training, dissemination, communication and innovation objectives:
The eight Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) have been trained through eight training modules. Being fully engaged in their research activities, the ESRs have published 24 research papers in international journals and conferences.
The Living Lab experience was organised into two batches within a 14-month long period. The FogGuru researchers had the chance to put their Fog Computing research into practice, while solving real-world problems and providing valuable results to the citizens of Valencia in Spain. Working closely with EMIVASA, the company responsible for water management in Valencia, the first group of researchers deployed Fog Computing technologies for intelligent water management. These technologies are particularly important for detecting abnormal water consumption. The second group built a FabLab at La Marina de Valencia, an open space where anyone can learn to process IoT data, while helping La Marina to measure and analyse a number of relevant parameters such as sea level, wave height, wind speed and other weather conditions. Thanks to the measurement results, La Marina is able to improve its services and provide an enriching experience to the port’s visitors. The benefits of the FabLab will be further exploited through joint collaboration between Las Naves and the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
The eight open source Fog Computing technologies, created by the project, have been released. Three of these technologies have been identified as key exploitable results and deployed by other researchers, projects and companies.
Four events were organised during the project’s lifetime, and 13 invited speeches and presentations were held, making the FogGuru’s Twitter account very active.
