The development and operation of smart IoT systems need support for continuous deployment over ALL different layers of IoT, Edge, and Cloud infrastructures. This includes deployment over local resources (including in local area network) with no direct access to the Internet. Moreover, the complexity of such smart IoT systems and the uncertainty of operating environments (e.g., evolving security threats) urge for trustworthy deployment (i.e., support for deploying trustworthiness mechanisms such as security/privacy controls, and mechanisms reliable deployment such as to properly monitor what has been deployed)

Current solutions: (i) No deployment solution tailored for IoT, Edge, and Cloud infrastructures (in particular no support for deployment on devices with no direct access to Internet), (ii) No monitoring of the execution flow of the application. Monitoring is particularly relevant for debugging on IoT devices (as this is typically a complicated task), (iii) deployment tools do not integrate with security and privacy tools, and (iv) no customizable solution for rolling and continuous deployment.

• Technology and knowledge transfer: Acquire new projects with industry and government to transfer the knowledge and technology gained during former projects. Way: Consultancy and new projects
• Technology and knowledge transfer: Acquire new projects with industry and government to transfer the knowledge and technology gained during former projects. Way: standardization
• Technology and knowledge transfer: Acquire new projects with industry and government to transfer the knowledge and technology gained during former projects. Way: reaching or building open source community

ThingML for the design and implementation of distributed reactive systems. CloudML for the deployment of multi-cloud applications

Software tool and expertise in continuous development, orchestration and deployment of software across IoT, Edge, and cloud infrastructure.

Open Source

• 2 proposals for research projects or bi-lateral project with industry are submitted
• Code delivered on a public repository (e.g., github, gitlab) together with documentation and tutorials. Open source communities have been contacted.
• Involved in the OASIS TOSCA standardization activity

TRL7

Solution has been designed with specific support for all the infrastructure continuum. It is technology agnostic as well as cloud and platform independent. Provide way to perform continuous deployment on local devices, reaching leafs of the infrastructure with no or limited access to Internet. Faster time-to-market, better agility. It seamlessly integrates with security and privacy mechanisms for better trustworthiness. Same language includes runtime information, and in particular execution flow can be monitored when ThingML is used. Faster time-to-market, better agility.

Tailored for IoT, Edge, Cloud and support for Security/privacy
