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.

TEAHA is a strategic project. It addresses networked
home control applications and their complementarity to A/V networked
applications. Its objective is to work with the A/V world to specify an
open, secure, interoperable and seamless global home platform. TEAHA
Project:
Addresses a spectrum of home applications bringing
additional benefits to the end user such as improved comfort, home
control, safety, personal security, energy management;
Includes leading companies (appliance manufacturers,
utilities, technology companies);
Intends to bring together the many groups,
associations, initiatives and alliances in Europe engaged in Home
Systems and Networks in order that Europe presents a unified package
of Applications, Services, Systems and Equipment into the home.
TEAHA is nothing less than an attempt to speed up the growth of the
EU Economy in the area of networked consumer equipment and
technology.
TEAHA is a 3-year project. The objective of TEAHA is
to provide the suitable communication components and interoperability
specifications for home appliances and platforms such that products from
different manufacturers will be able to interoperate in order to improve
their marketability. These activities will define the technical and
structural ground-work for equipment, networks, services and
applications that may be deployed in future applications.
The
following R&D activities are foreseen:
Contribute towards specifications for home system
architecture for seamless interoperability of equipment in a global
European home platform, whatever the application in question
(encompassing both the home control world and that of consumer
electronics and multimedia).
Develop an ultra low-cost powercord solution
(corresponding in particular to the needs and constraints of white
goods manufacturers), an advanced RF solution supporting seamless
interworking, and advanced residential gateway subsystems.
Relevance to HYDRA:
Both TEAHA project and
HYDRA targets home control and home automation although in different
way.
The Hydra project is co-funded by the
