GRiSP

A Base to Build On

An Erlang virtual machine on a bare-metal board

Develop IoT and embedded systems without the need for soldering or C programming. GRiSP boots directly into an Erlang VM running on bare metal, providing built-in wireless networking (802.11b/g/n WLAN) and Digilent Pmod™ module compatibility for connecting sensors and actuators.

TERAFLOW

A Phase 3 5GPPP Horizon 2020 project focused on developing a next-generation SDN controller (TeraFlow OS) for beyond 5G networks. TeraFlow OS integrates with NFV and MEC frameworks, offering revolutionary features for flow management, network integration, ML-based security, and forensic evidence for multi-tenancy.

Our Contribution

Leveraging our expertise in Erlang and OTP, we contribute to developing a scalable and reliable version of TeraFlow OS. Specifically, we focus on:

  • Adding support for Traffic Engineering (TE)

  • Implementing a distributed Path Computation Element (PCE)

  • Supporting relevant protocols like PCEP

PICCOLO

PICCOLO is a CELTIC-NEXT project funded by BMWi in Germany and Innovate-UK in the UK. It focuses on addressing deficiencies in edge/fog computing by developing a distributed platform that leverages diverse infrastructure. The project also explores in-network computing, enabling computation within complex networks without centralized management.

Our Contribution

Smart Factory Use Case

In the context of Industrie 4.0, we worked on automation for Smart Factory setups, handling dynamic production environments governed by complex distributed systems. Our contributions include the following applying concepts derived from PICCOLO form the backbone of our solutions for Smart Factory challenges:

  • Adaptive decentralized configuration with IEC-61499

  • Transparency and throughput optimization with digital twins

  • Advanced failover handling

LIGHTKONE

LightKone is an EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation project (Grant Agreement No. 732505) aimed at developing a scientifically sound and industrially validated model for general-purpose computation on edge networks. These networks consist of heterogeneous, loosely coupled nodes at the logical edge, like community networks, IoT networks, and Mobile Edge Computing.

Our Contribution

NoStop RFID Use Case

We developed an industrial transport system that operates without stopping, enabling reliable updates to RFID tags on moving parts. This was achieved through a distributed cache of RFID contents integrated into embedded systems along the transport system. Additionally, our GRiSP embedded programming platform was used for edge computing by four project partners.
