Prague & online, 9/05/2020.

On May-9, NEANIAS was presented at the 5th International Conference on Internet of Things, Big Data and Security (IoTBDS), in Prague, Czech Republic.

Robert Lovas, from SZTAKI, presented the project in the framework of “Reference Architectures for Cloud-based Platforms: Convergence vs. Diversification” at IoTBDS 2020.

Abstract:

We are the witnesses of new emerging trends in computing platforms; software-container based approaches, GPGPU-enabled AI solutions, and more-and-more sophisticated cloud services are available for Big Data, IoT and other categories of widespread applications. Software containers play crucial roles to make complex functionalities available on a diverse set of platforms; there is a clear sign of convergence in this field.

Some complex services can be also reused with little effort in multiple sectors as well, e.g. IoT back-ends for Connected Cars and precision agriculture. However, the IT experts still face several problems when they attempt to create, efficiently manage, scale out or orchestrate such set of building blocks in various, diverse IT environments in order to improve their non-functional features (including reduced vendor-locking or higher service reliability). 3rd party solutions from the cloud providers, and state-of-the-art open source tools for on-premise/public/hybrid deployments might be taken into considerations leveraging on the approach of new generation of reference architectures (blueprints) to enable high-level convergence.

The invited talk gives an overview of the latest results in this field covering the achievements of some EU projects (H2020 COLA, CloudiFacturing, NEANIAS and EOSC-hub), and national initiatives (e.g. Agrodat.hu and HRDA) that address such challenging topics.

IoTBDS 2020 has been held in conjunction with COMPLEXIS 2020 and CLOSER 2020.
