Wise-IoT (Worldwide Interoperability for SEmantics IoT) Project (June 2016 ~ May 2018) - EU Horizon 2020
While the Internet of Things is addressing a multiplicity of still-emerging standards and Alliance specifications with efforts to structure them into reference architectures, the Wise-IoT project gathers lead contributors from Europe and Korea to ongoing major global IoT standardisation activities with the objective to strengthen and expand emerging IoT standards and reference implementation using feedback from user-centric and context-aware pilots. Based on morphing mediation gateways concept, a trust-based recommendation system is proposed, leveraging upon Context Information APIs enabling end-to-end semantic interoperability and the dynamic distribution of analytic functions over a proposed ‘Global IoT Services’ (GIoTS). These GIoTS provide IoT virtualisation and interaction with systems beyond IoT together with trust building and management capabilities.
Six testbeds from Europe and South Korea will be federated to implement smart city, leisure and healthcare pilots demonstrating GIoTS based applications roaming capabilities across continents. An iterative development approach is being implemented to allow requirement and architecture adjustments as well as alignment and contributions back to on-going standardisation activities through submissions in technical committees and interoperability events support. A strong plan for dissemination has been set-up and will have its peak during the trials to be run at PyeongChang Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The consortium composed of prestigious research institutes, SMEs and large industries from Europe and Korea and will work in tandem to contribute to the success of the Wise-IoT project. Wise-IoT will give a particular attention to create an environment encouraging European and Korean SMEs and startups to enter the IoT industry by enabling access to a unified platform where interoperability among heterogeneous data in smart environments will be provided.
TII (Trust Information Infrastructure) Project (June 2015 ~ May 2018) - Korea IITP
The ultimate purpose of the TII project is to develop a trust infrastructure that cooperates with ICT applications and services to assess and compute all aspects of trust among any entities in the future ICT environments; in order to support these applications and services for better quality of services and experience. The proposed platform could be considered as a core service to secure computing systems, networking applications and services in ICT environments that we define as Trust as a Service (TaaS).
i-EC (M2M-based Context Aware Energy Clouds for Distributed Intelligence) Project (December 2014 ~ May 2015) - Pump Priming LJMU
The distributed energy clouds platform needs the following key technologies: i) M2M/IoT and big data analytics for energy control and operations in the integrated environment of various energy sources, ii) optimized charge and discharge operations of energy storage system (ESS), and iii) real-time price-based demand response (DR) control for energy assets. Thus the project focuses on an intelligent energy clouds (i-EC) platform for energy consumption recognition and prediction through context awareness from sensing information using M2M communications.

CAP (Collaborative Analytics Platform) Project (September 2013 ~ August 2016)
The CAP Project proposes an innovative platform that defines a collective intelligence data flow architecture on public and private clouds with built-in analytics capabilities. CAP defines standards, extensible data models and interfaces where the exchange of data between the data owners, platform operators, cloud infrastructure operators and data scientists. Data scientists facilitate the knowledge discovery through application of advanced analytics capabilities first through sandboxes on real data, then supplying configurable, domain specific algorithms and methods to data owners.
ICARE (Innovative Cloud Architecture for Real Entertainment) project (September 2012 ~ December 2014)
Cloud architecture and services is the key aspect of this enticing new business model for future TV makers. Dematerialized infrastructure and software-intensive systems will offer newcomers affordable solutions to compete efficiently against traditional broadcasters. End users will be able to “offer”, or in other words “sell” their own content to the world very easily or even to create their own TV channel. Social networks will be able to utilize the cloud capabilities to distribute content all over the world to their members, opening the way to dedicated advertising to community.
The ICARE project intends to explore this domain by demonstrating a way of using the cloud to transport, process, deliver and protect content over a distributed, non-proprietary and adaptive architecture. The major potential outlet of ICARE is to open the TV infrastructure world to almost everybody, thereby offering the possibility for brand new interactive, user-centric entertainment.
WoO (Web of Objects) project (January 2012 ~ December 2014)
The general goal of the WoO project is to simplify object and application deployment, maintenance and operation of in-building Internet of Things infrastructures subject to strict constraints regarding resources as computing power, communication bandwidth and energy supply. The project will create a uniform, resource-efficient network and service infrastructure simplifying development, deployment and operation of smart distributed applications in building automation.
DiYSE (Do-it-Yourself Smart Experiences) (September 2009 ~ August 2012)
The DiYSE project will enable people to direct their everyday environment into a highly personalized meaningful communication/interaction experience that can span the home and city domains. The project aims to create a sustainable marketplace for user-generated application (components) in which non-technically-skilled people can participate. The proposed Do-it-Yourself approach in which non-professional users get the tools and the support to create and share their own smart events is supported and motivated by visions on an Open Society in which citizens are empowered to form and share their own view of reality. The project aims to contribute substantially to the open Internet-of-Things world and the transition to Web 3.0.
SERVERY (Advanced SERvice Architecture DeliVERY Environment) (November 2008 ~ October 2011)
SERVERY’s goal is to enable a Service Market Place that bridges the Internet and Telco worlds by merging the flexibility and openness of the former with the trustworthiness and reliability of the latter! To achieve this, SERVERY aims to enable both end-users and professionals, with the ability for instant service creation and context-aware delivery of converged NGN-IMS / Web / Media services. These services are adaptable to the environment they are deployed in, depending on the execution platform and taking into account the end-user surroundings, context and communication constraints.
KORANET CoCoBeT (Computerized Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Elderly) (October 2010 ~ December 2011)
The aim of this project is to set up an international team interested in and actually working on the development of a computerized CBT set-up with a neuro-feedback option and speech recognition add-on to improve the psycho-therapeutic care of elderly subjects.
WOAA! (Wireless broadband Overlay Architectures and Applications) (April 2008 ~ December 2010)
This project consolidates the efforts from reputable research teams in France, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and the Philippines in order to extend the benefits of individual experience to a broader set of knowledge inside a French Asian research network for 3G beyond service and architectures. The collaboration focuses on bringing advanced service architectures and applications in a 3G beyond environment. Novel paradigms will be proposed for the delivery of user-centric customized communication services.
