IoLT - Internet of Living Things

Internet of Living Things (GINOP IoLT)

GINOP-2.3.2-15-2016-00037

Project description

The project aims to create a Network of Excellence by integrating IoT technological research with applied research on specific, biological IoT applications. It is creating an opensource IoLT programming platform based on JavaScript. It can execute applications on cheap, low capacity IoT devices by providing easy to use programming interfaces, thus enabling application development for researchers of any discipline. Technological developments is addressing the JavaScript executor engine (utilizing the industry-accepted JerryScript project), software-hardware porting, programming environment, secure management algorithms and software quality. The IoLT application areas include the development of a smart pot for plants enabling complex plant phenotyping using medium-high throughput characterization of plant growth and physiological status; the development of a smart watch for performing actigraphy to investigate ultradian activity levels of patients in psychosocial treatments; and the development of Lab-on-a-chip systems for enhanced microfluidic diagnostic technologies for high-throughput cell analysis. The partners are planning to engage in R&D in international cooperation in the following areas: JavaScript execution engine, IoT development environment, static analysis, source code quality and vulnerability checks, device drivers, communications, IoT cloud infrastructure, algorithms for data safety and security.

Duration: 2017.02.01-2021.10.29.
