Title: FogGuru – Training the Next Generation of European Fog Computing Experts
-
Abstract: FogGuru is a doctoral training project which aims to to train eight talented PhD students with an innovative and inter-sectoral research program to constitute the next generation of European Cloud and Fog computing experts. Besides their scientific and technical education, FogGuru's PhD students will receive extensive training in technological innovation and entrepreneurship as well as soft skills. These combined skills will enable them to fully master the innovation process stemming from fundamental research towards invention and development of innovative products and services, and to real-life deployment, experimentation and engagement with beta-testers.

Abstract: This project aims to develop and commercialize an AI-powered dash cam with short range V2X and LTE communication capabilities. The product uses the newest AI capable hardware for real-time object detection. The device can detect street signs, traffic lights, other cars, and pedestrians. Combined with sensor data from the accelerometer, GPS and weather data from the cloud we use the data to calculate different dimensions of driving profiles. In addition the V2X and object detection capabilities allow us to warn the driver in real-time about dangers on the road.
Inria Associate Teams Not Involved in an Inria International Labs

Abstract: The FogCity associate team proposal concerns a collaboration between the Myriads project-team, and two research teams at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. The proposal focuses on a smart city scenario in which data from static and mobile sensors is routed to appropriate fog data centres based on application QoS requirements. The main goal of the research is to select suitable nodes within the fog data centers to optimize the QoS of the applications in terms of latency. The different teams have complementary expertise in theoretical research (Indian partners) and system research (Inria Myriads project-team) and share a strong research interest in IoT and Fog Computing.

In Fog Computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Intermittent Computing, low-power devices migrate geographically, and are required to rapidly assimilate new data in a power-efficient manner. This is a key component of any Smart Interfaces solution as devices migrate from the IT infrastructure to the Edge of the Cloud in order to provide Function-as-a-Service, High-availability mobility, and IT infrastructure malleability. A three-tier strategy is proposed toward steering Fog applications in order to optimize the energy efficiency and sustainability. The strategy will leverage the backgrounds of the participants in Fog Computing, checkpointing, scheduling, Green Levers within the IT infrastructure, and a simulation infrastructure for predicting and efficiently steering such distributed applications. The Inria team and the Northeastern team are uniquely positioned to make rapid progress due to their long history of collaborative research based on visits by both permanent members and PhD students in the two directions.
