A Programming Platform for Reactive Data-intensive Applications

Project description

Next-generation of data-driven reactive applications

The next generation of applications promise to innovate the economy and induce great social impact on a wide range of fields, including production, mobility, energy and health. Such next-generation technology, however, is not only expensive but also difficult to develop, deploy, and maintain. The aim of the EU-funded project REScala is to provide a package that affords necessary programming tools to support the cost-effective and quality-ensuring implementation of next-generation data-driven reactive applications. These involve combining intelligent user interfaces and computations that promise to unleash similar potential as that borne by the invention of smartphone platforms.

Objective

Ubiquitous connectivity of digital and physical worlds enabled by the convergence of edge (IoT, mobile), in-network and cloud computing plus algorithmic advances in artificial intelligence (AI) promise breakthroughs in next-generation Distributed Data-driven Reactive Applications (DRAs), which promise to radically innovate the economy and induce society-scale impact on production, mobility, energy, health, etc. But, such next-generation DRAs are not only expensive and difficult to develop, deploy, and maintain; it is also extremely hard to reason about and to ensure their quality. The goal of this Proof of Concept proposal is to build a business strategy for the implementation and provisioning of enterprise-level programming and methodological support for DRAs. The comprehensive REScala package provides necessary programming tools to support the cost-effective and quality-ensuring implementation of next-generation DRAs across application domains (mobility, energy, health, environment, etc.), involving and combining intelligent user interfaces and computations running on distributed computing platforms with decentralised state. Summarizing, REScala holds great promise to be an important enabler of next-generation DRAs. We expect the innovation potential of this PoC project to be comparable to that unleashed by the invention of smartphone platforms, which unified a myriad of separated silo technologies that emerged on top of mobile communication technology. With REScala’s distributed and decentralised computing model, developers can plug-in their DRAs similar to installing new apps.

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.

ERC-POC-LS - ERC Proof of Concept Lump Sum Pilot

TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAT DARMSTADT
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
