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.
What focus areas are being funded?
- The proposals must address at least one of the focus areas listed below:
- Development of VOs and optionally cVOs along with a set of generic or device-specific functions based on VOStack.
- 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.
Funding Information
- Up to 8 Industrial SMEs/Mid-caps will receive up to 76 000€ funding per project;
- Participation in a 6-month-long support programme;
- Technical mentoring.
