Hydra is affilliated with the following programs and organisations:

The Hydra coordinater FhG FIT is a member of ARTEMISIA, the association for R&D actors in the field of ARTEMIS: Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems.


The Hydra middleware allows developers to create inclusive applications with a high degree of accessibility for all. The Hydra project supports the Commissions campaign: eInclusion - be part of it!



The Hydra project is part of the Cluster of European projects on the Internet of Things. The Cluster aims to promote a common vision of the Internet of Things.


The Hydra project is co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme in the area of Networked Embedded Systems under contract IST-2005-034891

Paper released by TUK on the first Hydra prototype
PapersThis paper describes the project HYDRA (“Net-worked Embedded System Middleware for Heterogeneous Physical Devices in a Distributed Architecture”) funded within the FP6 IST Programme. HYDRA project aims at development of middleware for intelligent networked embedded system based on service-oriented architecture, deployable on both new and ex-isting networks of distributed wireless and wired devices. The embedded ser-vice-oriented architecture will provide interoperable access to data, information and knowledge across heterogeneous platforms. These devices and their local networks will also be interconnected through broadband and/or wireless net-works. An implemented HYDRA middleware and a toolkit will be validated in real end-user scenarios in three different user domains: Facility management (smart/intelligent homes), Healthcare, and Agriculture. The following descrip-tion of the architecture is based on a functional viewpoint of the middleware in which we describe the identified layers and components and how they relate to each other. The different components are described in detail and some more de-tails of the sub-components are added. In addition to this, we have identified the requirements which have implicit or explicit relationship to the component. In the following chapter we present a first scenario in domain of building auto-mation which we have researched in detail to explain what could be done with the architecture.
