The final version of Fog Computing tutorials was presented at the Virtual Embedded Systems Week Conference on October 7th, 2021. The tutorial presents novel architectures, hardware and software platforms, applications, and data-driven techniques for enabling fault tolerance in Industrial IoT and Fog Computing systems. It comprises theoretical and hands-on components with a focus on fault tolerance. The tutorial details are as follows: Fog Computing: Industrial Use Cases and Open Issues…
Forskarfredag is a Swedish equivalent of European Researchers’ Night. ESRs from MDH prepared a presentation covering thier research topics and presented their research to the audience. In the talk they discussed about the spread of IoT devices, cloud computing and novel edge and fog computing approaches. They also motivated their talk with some interesting cutting edge applications that can benefit from the paradigm. More info is avialable via www.forskarfredag.se
Special Session on “Fog Computing and the IoT” was held on September 9th, 2021, as a track in 26th International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA) in Västerås, Sweden. The special session was organized by FORA and co-chaired by Dr. Silviu Craciunas from TTTech, Dr. Xenofon Fafoutis from DTU, and Dr. Alessandro Papadopoulos from MDH. The special session is held in the continuation of workshops on Fog Computing…
FORA Training School 3 (TS3) held virtuality from June 15th to June 19th, 2020. TS3 was initially planned to be held in Mälardalen University (MDH) in Västerås, Sweden as a summer school, which was canceled due to COVID 19 pandemic. This training school has consisted of four modules focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship, optimization techniques, deep learning, and visual science communication. The modules were followed by hands-on exercises. Overall, twenty-six…
The second Workshop on Fog Computing and the IoT (Fog-IoT) was held on April 21st in Sydney, Australia. It was co-located with CPS-IoT Week 2020. The workshop was organized by FORA and co-chaired by Dr. Anton Cervin and Prof. Yang Yang. The workshop was held partly virtual, due to the COVID19 travel restrictions More details are available from here.
On November 15th, the FORA team met on the premises of TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, in order to discuss the current progress of the training network and to lay the foundations for the upcoming deliverables. Especially, the three core use cases of FORA, which will take place at ABB, TTTech, and Danfoss, were presented in detail. Afterwards, Bahram Zarrin (DTU) presented an approach to integrate the different parts of the…
The FORA AADL Workshop, in collaboration with the Institute of Information Systems Engineering of TU Wien, took place December 11-13, 2019, at the Distributed Systems Group of TU Wien, Austria. The FORA AADL Workshop was a three-day event, organized by Bahram Zarrin (DTU), with focus on the introduction of the AADL in use cases related to fog computing and industrial applications. During the course of this event, the participants had…
Eurpean Researcher’s Night is a yearly Europe-wide event providing an excellent opportunity for researchers to promote their profession to a wide audience. Euroean Researcher’s Night is similar to event, e.g., beSCIENCEd, Austria; ForskarFredag, Sweden; Kaiserslautern Science Night; Science Day, a Danish national science festival. In 2019, European Researcher’s Night took was held on September 2019 at the University of Applied Arts in Wien, Austria. FORA ESR, Jan Ruh, has presented…
About The Nordic IoT Summer School is a week-long intensive introduction to all aspects of IoT systems. Rich sensor systems and distributed computation allow computing systems to measure and interact with the physical world. These emerging IoT systems will necessarily stretch from edge and fog computing devices that connect to cloud servers. Challenges at all levels of abstraction—devices, software, networks, architectures, and applications—must be faced to deliver on the potential…
The FORA Project Meeting has taken place on June 3-4, at Park Inn By Radisson hotel, Copenhagen. The meeting had the following purposes: 1) defining the FORA reference platform architecture 2) facilitate the research collaboration 3) define Use Cases and benchmarks for Fog Computing 4) Support the development of demonstrators around Fog Use Cases for industrial applications The local organizers of this event were Prof. Paul Pop and Dr. Bahram Zarrin from…
