Description: |
The
EMMA project aims at using new embedded middleware to support the
underlying logic and communications required for future cooperating
wireless objects. The application domain is focused on the automotive
and road transport fields. The project is committed to deliver a
middleware platform and a development environment which facilitates the
design and implementation of embedded software for cooperative sensing
objects. The
ultimate aim that the project will focus on delivering is to hide the
complexity of the underlying infrastructure whilst providing open
interfaces to third parties enabling the faster, cost-efficient
development of new cooperative sensing applications. This end-product
will be accompanied by a publicly available specification (PAS) that
will help to facilitate its wider adoption. In
order to validate the EMMA middleware a set of lab tests on a number of
wireless cooperative objects (WICOS) will be performed. Furthermore the
results will also be validated, in a second step, in the context of a
number of applications: within an automotive subsystem, a car level and
at a supra-car level (intelligent infrastructure). This
strategic goal will be achieved by means of a number of specific
objectives, namely:

| Relevance to HYDRA: | EMMA project strategic goal is to open new prospects in the field of embedded middleware for cooperating wireless objects in order to hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure while providing open interfaces to third parties. The application domain of transport will be taken as a pilot example. Similarity between HYDRA and EMMA is high, they start in approximately same time, so the public outcomes and best practices of shorter project EMMA can be used in IP HYDRA project in the next steps, especially middleware architecture and testing on application domain of transfer. | |
