The group of Intelligent Systems and Telematics of the University of Murcia begins the IoTCrawler project with which it aims to evolve the current scenario of the Internet of things and overcome the existing barriers of fragmented solutions.
In addition, this research proposes to demonstrate the solution in scenarios such as industry 4.0, cities and smart energy.
For this, it will collaborate with the City of Murcia Intelligent City project and the platform that is deployed in the MiMurcia project as a use case.
Through a multidisciplinary team, coordinated by the University of Murcia, work will be done to eliminate the possible technological challenges still existing through the development of mechanisms of registration, location and identification of sensors and actuators that populate this network, facilitating that it can be searched in a flexible way and secure those elements that can meet the needs of users.
"IoTCrawler seeks to take a leap forward in the Internet of Things solutions, just as at the time the web meant a change in the search for information," says project coordinator Antonio Skarmeta.
With all this, IoTCrawler seeks to provide a high impact through excellence in research, innovation and technological advancement.
It will achieve this with the commitment of the end user through its partners in the industry and the city and through the development of collaboration, validation and presentation scenarios.
This project financed with almost five million euros will be developed in the next three years.
To put the project into operation, the Murcian research group has the participation of a multidisciplinary consortium made up of industries and universities from Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Austria.
