The Hydra project pursues the vision to create a middleware for networked mobile and embedded systems that will allow producers to develop easily cost-effective and innovative applications for new and existing devices.

Thus, the middleware will become an enabling tool to integrate all kinds of mobile and stationary embedded devices into an intelligent ambient network. Besides the middleware, developer kits will be introduced that will enable hardware and software developers to easily create innovative, cost-efficient and outstanding applications based on the capabilities of the middleware. The middleware will feature users to optimize their processes by gaining higher efficiency and flexibility. To reach these goals a team of 13 research oriented partners is cooperating, universities as well as industry partners.
