Description du projet
Accélérer le développement des villes intelligentes avec le Japon
Le développement et la gestion des villes intelligentes sont confrontés à plusieurs défis cruciaux. Les zones urbaines technologiquement modernes utilisent de grandes quantités d’applications, de méthodes ou de technologies électroniques de différents types, et nécessitent des niveaux élevés de synergie et d’évolutivité des systèmes d’exploitation gérant les actifs, les ressources, les services et les données collectées pour surveiller, analyser, planifier et gouverner les villes afin d’assurer le bon équilibre de leur fonctionnement et de leur croissance. Le projet Fed4IoT, financé par l’UE, offrira une interopérabilité IdO à plusieurs niveaux pour les applications inter-domaines à grande échelle des villes intelligentes, en intégrant dans un cadre unique un grand nombre de dispositifs IdO provenant de différents fournisseurs, une variété de plateformes IdO et des informations provenant de divers domaines IdO. Le Fed4IoT permettra une coopération entre l’Europe et le Japon visant à soutenir le développement d’applications inter-domaines pour les villes intelligentes.
Objectif
"Smart city applications require pervasive and large-scale infrastructures, which include heterogeneous IoT devices and distributed information systems, thus posing interoperability and cost challenges. Interoperable solutions, exploiting fog/edge/cloud computing resources, are fundamental for fair competition, especially in public procurements, while costs savings are necessary to speed up the smart city innovation pace, by enabling more stakeholders to easily enter the market, especially SMEs.
The Fed4IoT project faces the interoperability issue, focusing on large scale environments and addressing the problem at different and synergic levels: device, platform and information. The goal of the project is “Federating IoT and Cloud Infrastructures to Provide Scalable and Interoperable Smart Cities Applications by introducing novel IoT virtualization technologies” and will be pursued through the following steps: 1) select/integrate/improve existing IoT and cloud platforms, including oneM2M, FIWARE and 5G ETSI MEC, so as to establish a reference interoperability solution; 2) use such reference solution to build up a pool of federated IoT and fog/edge/cloud resources; 3) design novel device-level IoT virtualization technologies to create ""IoT slices"" formed by virtual IoT devices and computing resources, exploiting the federated resource pool; 4) support orchestration and programmability for optimal IoT virtual function deployment and Big Data processing; 5) integrate information coming from different IoT domains and other city sources; 6) integrate the system components.
The project solutions will be technically validated by implementing four specific smart city applications, based on a federated EU/JP platform, deployed in real life systems in two EU and two JP cities.
The Fed4IoT consortium will also actively support standardization activities (ETSI, oneM2M, ITU, ISO, etc.) and EU/JP initiatives (e.g. AIOTI and ITAC), where consortium members are already involved.
