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 aim of the NeCST (Networked Control System Tolerant to faults) is to explore research opportunities in the direction of distributed control system in order to enhance the performances of diagnostics and fault tolerant control systems. This will lead to improving the intensive use of NeCS technologies for the reactivity, autonomy and monitoring of large scale systems. The systems under consideration in the framework of this project can be considered as a distributed network of nodes operating under highly decentralised control, but unified in accomplishing complex system-wide goals. One of the key factors in designing such a complex system is that both the physical subsystem and the control part have to be designed together in an integrated way. Systems developed in this project will be modular, adaptive, able to operate in autonomy and possibly reconfigurable. The implementation of these concepts is achieved by using the technologies of wireless networks, embedded systems, nomad components, electronics tags, etc. Finally, the main contribution of the NeCST project in the embedded systems area is to propose different means enabling to improve the embedded component safety. For this, algorithms and procedures will be develop in order to be able to early detect anomalies (variances or irregularities in the embedded networks and in the embedded equipments) and to switch to fault tolerant control strategy and/or providing predictive and real-time maintenance.
Relevance to HYDRA:NeCST project offers the solution enhancing the performance of diagnostics and fault tolerance of modular, adaptive, reconfigurable systems with autonomous components, such as wireless networks and embedded systems similar to expected possible HYDRA implementations.
