Wise-IoT

Wise-IoT (H2020, EU-Korea joint pro­ject, 2016–2018): inter­op­er­ab­il­ity frame­work (based on OneM2M) provid­ing con­tex­tu­al inform­a­tion col­lec­ted from vari­ous IoT data sources and use that inform­a­tion to pro­pose recom­mend­a­tion ser­vices. CEA is part­ner of Wise-IoT.

The Wise-IoT approach will be lever­aged by the DECENTER pro­ject as IoT microservices host­ing envir­on­ment. A poten­tial area of col­lab­or­a­tion with Wise-IoT is to enable it to oper­ate with DECENTER on the basis of Smart Con­tracts.

SUNFISH pro­poses an innov­at­ive way to share and pro­tect data between private clouds. On the oth­er hand, DECENTER pro­poses to use the block­chain to secure the con­tracts between more infra­struc­ture oper­at­ors. Res­ults from SUNFISH will be applied in order to secure the trans­fer of data once the con­tract is estab­lished.
