BigDataStack introduces a pioneering technique for seamless analytics which analyses data in a holistic fashion across multiple data stores and locations, handling analytics on both data in flight and at rest. Complemented with an innovative CEP running in federated environments for real-time, cross-stream processing, predictive algorithms and process mining, BigDataStack offers a complete suite for big data analytics.
BigDataStack holistic solution incorporates approaches for data-focused application analysis and dimensioning, and process modelling towards increased performance, agility and efficiency. A toolkit allowing the specification of analytics tasks in a declarative way, their integration in the data path, as well as an adaptive visualization environment, realize BigDataStack’s vision of openness and extensibility

Telecommunications networks are a critical infrastructure for economic growth and social well-being. However, previous-generation networks will not be able to meet future needs and the continuously increasing, diverse sets of users, applications, services, and requirements, which call for network administrators to transform them. At the core of this transformation lies the development of infrastructures based on the concepts of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The 5GTANGO project proposes a flexible approach to 5G network programming that focuses on the following:

i) a Service Development Kit (SDK) for application development, ii) a repository with advanced validation mechanisms for network services, and iii) a service platform that bridges the gap between business requirement management systems and network management systems.

It proposes the implementation of a vendor-independent platform where the output of the application development environment (which will be an NFV graph) will be automatically validated in the repository, allowing its deployment in the virtualized network infrastructure and orchestration with mechanisms compatible with existing Virtual Infrastructure Managers (VIM) and SDN controllers.

This integrated ecosystem for service implementation and deployment essentially implements an NFV DevOps model between service developers, network administrators, and applications, enhancing performance and enabling the implementation and validation of new services that support the adoption of NFV technologies. The 5GTANGO system will be tested in two pilot cases: factory environments and multimedia. The project will promote collaboration with standardization bodies such as ETSI NFV or IETF, as well as open-source communities like OSM and Open-O. Additionally, the 5GTANGO project aims to collaborate with other initiatives within the 5G-PPP program.

Today’s rich digital information environment is characterized by the multitude of data sources providing information that has not yet reached its full potential in eHealth. CrowdHEALTH will introduce a new paradigm of Holistic Health Records (HHRs) that include all health determinants. HHRs will be transformed into Social HHRs communities capturing the clinical, social and human context of the population segmentation and as a result the collective knowledge for different factors depending on the communities’ formulation criteria. To this context, CrowdHEALTH will deliver a secure integrated ICT platform that seamlessly integrates big data technologies across the complete data path, providing Data as a Service (DaaS) to the health ecosystem stakeholders, as well as to the health policies’ makers, achieving a “health in all policies” approach. Creation and co-creation (cross-domain) of policies will be feasible through a rich toolkit, which will be provided on top of the DaaS, incorporating mechanisms for causal and risk analysis, as well as for compilation of predictions, creating multi-modal targeted policies addressing various evolving risks that will be realized from each different population segmentation. Furthermore, CrowdHEALTH will facilitate policies evaluation and optimization through adaptive and incremental visualizations of simulations and outcomes of evidence based analysis of prevention strategies.

The vision of MATILDA is to design and implement a holistic 5G end-to-end services operational framework tackling the lifecycle of design, development and orchestration of 5G-ready applications and 5G network services over programmable infrastructure, following a unified programmability model and a set of control abstractions.

ATMOSPHERE (Adaptive, Trustworthy, Manageable, Orchestrated, Secure Privacy-assuring Hybrid, Ecosystem for REsilient Cloud Computing) is a 24-month project aiming at the design and development of an ecosystem of a framework, platform and application of next generation trustworthy cloud services on top of an intercontinental hybrid and federated resource pool. The framework considers a broad spectrum of properties and their measures. The platform supports the building, deployment, measuring and evolution of trustworthy cloud resources, data networks and data services. The platform is demonstrated in a sensitive scenario to build a cloud-enabled secure and trustworthy application related to distributed telemedicine.
