Hydra is affilliated with the following programs and organisations:

The Hydra coordinater FhG FIT is a member of ARTEMISIA, the association for R&D actors in the field of ARTEMIS: Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems.


The Hydra middleware allows developers to create inclusive applications with a high degree of accessibility for all. The Hydra project supports the Commissions campaign: eInclusion - be part of it!



The Hydra project is part of the Cluster of European projects on the Internet of Things. The Cluster aims to promote a common vision of the Internet of Things.


The Hydra project is co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme in the area of Networked Embedded Systems under contract IST-2005-034891

Description:

MORE is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) that is going to implement new technology to facilitate communication and distributed intelligence across groups of users using different wireless standards. The project addresses the problem of how the interaction between humans and embedded systems can be efficiently supported by developing a system that can be tailored to the specific needs of diverse organizations. A clear focus of the project is to design a middleware that hides the complexity of the underlying heterogeneity of embedded systems through providing simplified APIs and management mechanisms for the future operators of these systems.

Middleware is designed with a network-centric point of view and with the following main functionalities:
  • Alleviate heterogeneity of devices
  • Support scalable group communication
  • Allow for multi-media communication and resource sharing between humans (voice, pictures, video) and machines (in particular sensors)
  • Ensure security of communications, data exchanges and protection of sensitive data
  •  Provide Gateway services, allowing access to embedded networks and increasing range of accessibility (e.g. connecting small scale local Bluetooth networks to large scale mobile networks like UMTS).

Two use case scenarios are envisioned for validation: Mitigation management (forestry and environment) and Medical environment (Diabetes).

Relevance to HYDRA:MORE is going to implement new technology for distributed communication using different wireless standards. Main focus is to design middleware that hides the complexity of the underlying heterogeneity of embedded systems through providing simplified APIs and management mechanisms for the future operators of these systems. This is highly relevant in scope of HYDRA as we are going to support similar paradigms and both projects are highly complementary, also in case of use case scenarios, where first testing will be provided.
