Item Aggregate Farming in the Cloud: The AFarCloud ECSEL project: The AFarCloud ECSEL project(2020-10) Castillejo, Pedro; Johansen, Gorm; Cürüklü, Baran; Bilbao-Arechabala, Sonia; Fresco, Roberto; Martinez-Rodriguez, Belen; Pomante, Luigi; Rusu, Cristina; Martínez-Ortega, José-Fernán; Centofanti, Carlo; Hakojärvi, Mikko; Santic, Marco; Häggman, Johanna; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; BIGDATAFarming is facing many economic challenges in terms of productivity and cost-effectiveness. Labor shortage partly due to depopulation of rural areas, especially in Europe, is another challenge. Domain specific problems such as accurate monitoring of soil and crop properties and animal health are key factors for minimizing economical risks, and not risking human health. The ECSEL AFarCloud (Aggregate Farming in the Cloud) project will provide a distributed platform for autonomous farming that will allow the integration and cooperation of agriculture Cyber Physical Systems in real-time in order to increase efficiency, productivity, animal health, food quality and reduce farm labor costs. Moreover, such a platform can be integrated with farm management software to support monitoring and decision-making solutions based on big data and real-time data mining techniques.Item The AQUAS ECSEL Project Aggregated Quality Assurance for Systems: Co-Engineering Inside and Across the Product Life Cycle: Co-Engineering Inside and Across the Product Life Cycle(2019-09) Pomante, Luigi; Muttillo, Vittoriano; Křena, Bohuslav; Vojnar, Tomáš; Veljković, Filip; Magnin, Pacôme; Matschnig, Martin; Fischer, Bernhard; Martinez, Jabier; Gruber, Thomas; SWTThere is an ever-increasing complexity of the systems we engineer in modern society, which includes facing the convergence of the embedded world and the open world. This complexity creates increasing difficulty with providing assurance for factors including safety, security and performance. In such a context, the AQUAS project investigates the challenges arising from e.g., the inter-dependence of safety, security and performance of systems and aims at efficient solutions for the entire product life-cycle. The project builds on knowledge of partners gained in current or former EU projects and will demonstrate the newly developed methods and techniques for co-engineering across use cases spanning Aerospace, Medicine, Transport and Industrial Control.Item An Optimized, Data Distribution Service-Based Solution for Reliable Data Exchange Among Autonomous Underwater Vehicles(2017-08-05) Rodríguez-Molina, Jesús; Bilbao, Sonia; Martinez-Rodriguez, Belen; Frasheri, Mirgita; Cürüklü, Baran; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; BIGDATAMajor challenges are presented when managing a large number of heterogeneous vehicles that have to communicate underwater in order to complete a global mission in a cooperative manner. In this kind of application domain, sending data through the environment presents issues that surpass the ones found in other overwater, distributed, cyber-physical systems (i.e., low bandwidth, unreliable transport medium, data representation and hardware high heterogeneity). This manuscript presents a Publish/Subscribe-based semantic middleware solution for unreliable scenarios and vehicle interoperability across cooperative and heterogeneous autonomous vehicles. The middleware relies on different iterations of the Data Distribution Service (DDS) software standard and their combined work between autonomous maritime vehicles and a control entity. It also uses several components with different functionalities deemed as mandatory for a semantic middleware architecture oriented to maritime operations (device and service registration, context awareness, access to the application layer) where other technologies are also interweaved with middleware (wireless communications, acoustic networks). Implementation details and test results, both in a laboratory and a deployment scenario, have been provided as a way to assess the quality of the system and its satisfactory performance
