The overall project goal of DEWI is to provide key technologies and reference architectures with a focus on the sensor & communication bubble the internals of the bubble and its interfaces to the environment, but not beyond.
This means:
- Dependable, auto-configurable, optionally secure, short-range communication
- Local energy-management: efficiency, harvesting, storage
- Localization of sensors and mobile devices
- Smart composability and integration of wireless sensor networks
DEWI will achieve its objectives through a clearly use-case-oriented and industry-driven approach with the following key success factors to contribute to vertical and horizontal application innovation:
- Identification and build-up of a common, multi-domain applicable, service-oriented short-range wireless communication architecture that eases the life of citizens and professional users and enables service innovation
- Driving forward the domain-specific and cross-domain technology items, i.e. re-useable technological building block (methods, software, hardware)
- New vertical and multi-domain (horizontal) services that allow to easily integrate new technologies, SMEs, and tool providers
- Enabling vertical and horizontal business cases representing added value for the transport and building domain
- Identification of infrastructure requirements within vertical activities (domainspecific use cases) to take into account new interaction and interface concepts for proper tackling of cross-domain issues in smart environments
- Transfer of knowledge and experience between different domains
- Identification of domain-independent problems to foster cross-domain reusability
- Providing input to make use of results of and inter-act with other projects (in particualar ARTEMIS/ECSEL)
- Contribution to the ARTEMIS repository by development of results from industry-driven use cases
- Gathering the main European players regarding wireless embedded systems engineering in the areas of transportation and building / surveillance providing a critical mass of European technology providers for future safer, securer, and more comfortable transport and living
- Exemplary show cases that will demonstrate the key results of DEWI, by displaying high relevance to societal needs and cross-domain applicability
- Regarding interoperability DEWI will also contribute to establishing a standard for wireless systems engineering in a certification and security context, which entails conformity to both specific standards as well as international domain-independent standards.
