The increasing amount of roaming Internet users in combination with the evolution of IP-based applications has created a strong demand for wide-area, broadband access to a number of IP multimedia services.

In the EXPAND+ER WB³ project, the vision of educator Otto Herz is applied to the field of vocational education. For people, lifelong learning means constantly working on expanding knowledge and developing their skills and abilities. But how do you make it easier for people to find interdisciplinary training opportunities through an appealing design and state-of-the-art search capabilities? The technology partners of the BMBF-funded EXPAND+ER WB³ project develop a scalable platform that protects privacy and enables users to search for and receive recommendations for further education courses.

Every year, the Dominican Republic suffers from floods and other natural events, often with catastrophic consequences for the people, their property and public infrastructure.

The increasing networking of the value chain in the course of digitalization requires further development of networking software in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). For this purpose, the FAMOUS project combines the research expertise of the University of Augsburg, ifak, the Fraunhofer Institutes IPK and FOKUS with the competencies of the companies Endress+Hauser, Lenze, and Bosch.

The EIT ICT Labs project “Fanning out Testbeds as a Service for the EIT ICT Labs” (FanTaaStic) explores best practice, performs a gap analysis, investigates applicable business models and works out an operational concept for implementation.

Fed4FIRE+ is an Integrating Project under the European Union’s Programme Horizon 2020, addressing the work programme topic Future Internet Research and Experimentation. It started in January 2017 and will run for 60 months, until the end of September 2021.

The Federation for Future Internet Research and Experimentation (Fed4FIRE) is an Integrating Project (IP) under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) in the context of the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) programme.

FI-STAR will establish early trials in the Health Care domain building on Future Internet (FI) technology leveraging on the outcomes of FI-PPP Phase 1. It will become self-sufficient after the end of the project and will continue on a sustainable business model by several partners.

FIESTA aims to empower Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS) for sharing and reusing IoT data. The project is going to provide a blueprint experimental infrastructure, tools, techniques, processes and best practices for enabling IoT testbed/platforms operators to interconnect their facilities in an interoperable way.

FI-WARE will deliver a novel service infrastructure, building upon elements (called Generic Enablers) which offer reusable and commonly shared functions making it easier to develop Future Internet Applications in multiple sectors. This infrastructure will bring significant and quantifiable improvements in the performance, reliability and production costs linked to Internet Applications – building a true foundation for the Future Internet.

Potholes, graffiti or burned out lamps: everyone has seen such nuisances in public spaces. If there were only a way to let the right people in local government know! With Mashup technologies and mobile applications, the right solution can be delivered quickly.
