Developing smart environments

One of the main goals of our pro­ject is to deliv­er a new archi­tec­ture and a Fog com­put­ing plat­form that would be used to devel­op smart applic­a­tions and envir­on­ments. Our applic­a­tion scen­ari­os are very chal­len­ging and require the use of sensor and video-streams in order to pro­cess data by Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence algorithms. Due to emer­ging secur­ity and pri­vacy con­cerns, our pro­ject will pay spe­cial atten­tion to employ pri­vacy by design prin­ciples.

The applic­a­tions we have in mind are com­monly needed, such as applic­a­tions for smart homes, safety at ped­es­tri­an cross­ings, smart and safe con­struc­tion, and vari­ous advanced applic­a­tions for robots.
