NEPHELE Funding Opportunity for SMEs, Startups and Midcaps

Deadline: 10 January 2024

Calling for Industrial SMEs and Mid-caps to develop a set of Virtual Objects, composite Virtual Objects and Digital Twins, as well as extensions in the software stack in the form of generic functions.

NEPHELE enables the efficient, reliable and secure end-to-end orchestration of hyper-distributed applications over programmable infrastructure that spans across the compute continuum, removing existing openness and interoperability barriers in the convergence of IoT technologies against cloud and edge computing orchestration platforms.

The NEPHELE outcomes are going to be demonstrated, validated and evaluated in a set of use cases across various vertical industries, including areas such as disaster management, logistic operations in ports, energy management in smart buildings and remote healthcare services.

    • Development of Digital Twins based on the cVO concept
    • Development of VO network and/or security management mechanisms for the VOStack.
    • Development of semantic interoperability mechanisms (e.g., from W3C WoT to NGSI-LD, from W3C WoT to OMA LwM2M and vice-versa) for the VOStack.
