Critical Maritime infrastructures

This validation scenario will solve the following issues: 
To introduce an EU IaC platform supporting the concepts of performance, edge-fog computing
and dynamic hybrid balancing to build safety and security verticals in industrial scenarios (port and maritime logistics). Industrial IoT platforms for both specialised and general purpose do not offer wide, accurate and application ready information of the instantaneous performance of the systems composing the platform, and they don’t allow to use all the computing resources in the platform in a flexible way. In heterogeneous scenarios, performance is usually guaranteed by over allocating resources
for critical systems that most of the time will be significantly infra-utilised. This condition affects negatively to the cost-effectiveness of the industrial IoT solutions and thus prevents a wider adoption in port and maritime environments.

Application where PIACERE will be used:
PIACERE will provide the following direct benefits:
• Guarantee security & privacy when using tools/data in virtualized environments
• Ensure safety and (reproducible) timing performance from a user perspective
• Flexible, hybrid deployment of applications by seamless mixing of on-device and cloud services and SW
• Distributed solutions architecture for safety critical cyber-physical systems with consideration of architecture transition for device-only architectures
• Novel services and products by use of AI and cloud technologies
