ARNET
Airborne Relaying Networks for Reliable and Secure Mobile CommunicationsPOCI-01-0145-FEDER-029074
ARNET aims to design wireless communication protocols to enhance network reliability and security in Airborne Relaying NETworks (ARNET) for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) users on the ground. ARNET will integrate advanced multi-hop wireless communication for relaying heterogeneous data of LTE users while ensuring service area coverage. Consequently, this project is a significant step towards realising the vision of an airborne relaying network.
PReFECT
Predictable Multiprocessor Platforms for Embedded Safety Critical SystemsPOCI-01-0145-FEDER-029119
The PReFECT project will address the following challenges with respect to the introduction of multicore processors in safety-critical systems: - model and analyze the timing interference generated by the hardware resources shared between cores (e.g., caches, interconnect and I/O devices); - propose runtime mechanisms and scheduling solutions to mitigate the unpredictability of COTS multicore processors by controlling the interference between cores; - develop tools for the automatic system configuration before deployment.
REASSURE
Secure Runtime Verification for Reliable Real-Time Embedded SoftwareNORTE-01-0145-FEDER-028550
The goal of REASSURE is to improve over the state-of-the-art Runtime Verification (RV) approaches for RTES by developing a new framework. The framework developed in REASSURE will be validated within an industrial context. EDISOFT, a company active in critical systems, will provide a relevant case study, based on the RTEMS space-qualified operating system, and will follow the research in the project, advising the project team.
FLEXIGY
Energy Flexibility Services PlatformProjeto nº 034067 (AAC nº 03/SI/2017)
Flexigy project will tackle the problem of providing flexibility for producers and consumers of energy allowing the implementation of Smart Energy Networks and innovative mechanisms of automated demand response and control, which offer significant potential to balance energy networks but still face major economic, legal and social barriers that hinders its full market adoption.
5GSDN
MAC-PHY cross-layer design and multi-objective optimisation of 5G Software defined networksPOCI-01-0145-FEDER-032218
The 5GSDN project addresses the cross-layer design of 5G (fifth generation) industrial cyber-physical wireless networks. This will enable a set of remotely controlled embedded applications in industrial IoT (Internet-of-Things) with high criticality requirements. New industrial services will be offered over wider geographical areas at lower costs and with more flexible infrastructure.
