Hydra is affilliated with the following programs and organisations:

The Hydra coordinater FhG FIT is a member of ARTEMISIA, the association for R&D actors in the field of ARTEMIS: Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems.


The Hydra middleware allows developers to create inclusive applications with a high degree of accessibility for all. The Hydra project supports the Commissions campaign: eInclusion - be part of it!



The Hydra project is part of the Cluster of European projects on the Internet of Things. The Cluster aims to promote a common vision of the Internet of Things.


The Hydra project is co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme in the area of Networked Embedded Systems under contract IST-2005-034891

Description:

The main objective of this project is to develop methods and tools for building heterogeneous systems in which Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and traditional communication networks cooperate to monitor and improve the quality of life in common habitats, e.g., home, car and city environment. In particular the maintenance of the personal health potentiality will be addressed.

In the analysed scenario, users communicate with WSN's through a dedicated node called gateway. This node is responsible for injecting queries into the network, gathering responses and presenting them to users. The gateway communicates with the WSN through short-range wireless links, and it interacts with the user directly or remotely through traditional communication networks both wire-line and mobile.
Relevance to HYDRA:The project considers the mobile handset as the ad hoc gateway. The usage of a co-simulation tool, based on NS-2, SystemC and ISS, guarantees the optimised interaction between the ad hoc network and the mobile infrastructure. Moreover thanks to this co-simulation environment a fine-tuning of the protocol stack and algorithms, to obtain efficient synergy and design optimisation. The project addresses the security issues in terms of encryption algorithms and protocols to define a trusted architecture.
