Project description



Emerging smart-city and smart-community efforts will require a massive deployment of connected entities (Things) to create focused smartspaces. Related applications will enhance citizen quality of life and public safety (e.g., providing safe evacuation routes in fires). However, supporting IoT deployments are heterogeneous and can be volatile and failure-prone as they are often built upon low-powered, mobile and inexpensive devices. The MINES associate team addresses the resulting challenge of enabling interoperability and resilience in large-scale IoT systems through the design and development of a dedicated middleware.

More specifically, focusing on emergency situations, the MINES middleware will:

  1. Enable the dynamic composition of IoT systems from any and all available heterogeneous devices.
  2. Support the timely and reliable exchange of critical data within and across IoT in the enabled large-scale and dynamic system over heterogeneous networks.
Finally, the team will evaluate​ ​the​ ​proposed​ ​solution​ ​in​ ​the​ ​context​ ​of​ ​emergency​ ​response​ ​scenario​ ​use​ ​cases.
