  A Novel Reconfigurable bydesign Highly Distributed Applications Development Paradigm over Programmable Infrastructure This project has received funding from the European Union’s HORIZON 2020 Programme, (Call H2020-ICT-2014-1), Grant no.645372 www.arcadia-framework.eu Start date: 01/01/2015 Duration: 36months Reference: GA no 645372 Budget: 3,543,864 € Funding: 3,543,864 € www Project Coordinator Dr. Adegboyega Ojo (Project Coordinator), Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National University of Ireland (NUIG), phone: +353 91 495336 email : [email protected] Dr. Panagiotis Gouvas (Technical Coordinator), UBITECH Ltd, phone: +30 216 5000500 Email: [email protected] ARCADIA applications are based on a micro-service model and are governed by a sophisticated policy manager. Each ARCADIA application consists of sev- eral autonomous components, which can communi- cate with each other based on a service graph and policy rules defined by the developers. Each compo- nent can be stored in a public or private registry on the ARCADIA platform and it can be re-used on other applications. Internet of Things applications can take ad-vantage of the different features of the ARCADIA framework. For example, by using policies, metrics and re- configuration parameters, developers can control IoT devices like actuators or motors through the gateway component. Edition 3

  The High PerformanceSurvivable Communications in Distrib- uted IoT Deployments Use Case is based on the implementa- tion of the 6inACTION PPDR technology (www.6inaction.net). 6inACTION is an advanced system designed to provide public safety agencies with a survivable, scalable and robust com- munications and professional IoT-supported intervention man- agement services during day-to-day operation and disaster relief missions. High-performance com- munications in day-to-day operations and survivable communications in ex- treme conditions have to be supported since the provided application is executed in a distributed system with distributed service intelligence. The innovation that will be added in 6inAction based on the imple- mentation within ARCADIA regards the use of the project’s technologies (especially the use of Smart Controller imple- mentation in companion with OpenFlow technologies) for vir- tual channel establishment allowing for transparent communi- cation via one or several available networks represented as a single virtual channel. Context-driven routing with dynamic QoS support and dynamic cross-network admission control and service pre-emption will be supported, while based on the provided implementation, very high availability with near-real- time reroute capabilities allowing for (almost) instant fall-back scenarios in case of extreme conditions causing failure of indi- vidual networks information driven servicing will be supported. The transition to more energy efficient infrastructures has to take into account the implications to Quality of Service (QoS) / Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements based on the sup- ported services and applications as well as the requirements imposed by the network administrators and services providers. Higher flexibility, enhanced control and management capabili- ties, are required to effectively deal with the performance/ power consumption trade-off, once the new dimension of ener- gy-awareness is taken into account in all phases of network design and operation. This challenge is going to be addressed based on the techno- logical artefacts that will be developed within ARCADIA. So- phisticated distributed control/management techniques can be realistically deployed – both at the network edge and inside the network – to dynamically shape the allocation of resources and relocate applications and network functionalities, trading off QoS/QoE and energy at multiple granularity levels. In ARCADIA, three use cases with four applications are developed and evaluated targeting different important areas: i) energy efficiency and QoS trade off ii) high performance survivable communications in distributed IoT deployments ii) security and privacy support in the FIWARE platform FI-WARE (www.fi-ware.org) is an innovative, open cloud- based infrastructure for cost-effective creation and delivery of Future Internet applications and services, at a scale not seen before. FI-STAR (Future Internet Social and Technological Alignment Research) is a project that is an instantiation of the FI-WARE platform and aims to establish early trials in the Health Care domain building on Future Internet (FI) technolo- gy. The FI-STAR Platform services provide application mod- ules, re-usable generic and health care sector specific func- tionality. The TUB FI-STAR Service Delivery Platform (SDP) is going to be used for the realization of the Security and Privacy Support in the FI-WARE Platform Use Case. “Remote Patient Monitoring” is one of two applications select- ed to implement in the Security and Privacy Use Case to eval- uate the capability and practical usability of ARCADIA frame- work towards supporting security and privacy requirements when developing and operating cloud applications. The RPM development follows the current FIWARE reference architec- ture to support developing IoT applications.
