UBITECH undertakes the technical coordination of the INCODE Research & Innovation Actin on Intelligent Collaborative Deployments over Heterogeneous Edge-IoT Environments

UBITECH hosted the kick-off meeting, in Athens, Greece (February 1-2, 2023), of the INCODE Research and Innovation Action, that is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101093069), spanning the period January 2023 – December 2025. INCODE will design and develop an open platform for the deployment and dynamic management of end-user applications, over distributed, heterogeneous and trusted IoT-Edge node infrastructures, with enhanced programmability features and tools. The platform will do so by implementing innovative design approaches and will constitute a fully-integrated infrastructure under the cloud–managed INCODE architecture. INCODE will contribute to the wider scope of reinforcing Europe’s position in the market of next generation smart systems (sensors and devices) integrated in an evolving Internet of Things and cyber-physical ecosystems with strong capacities at the edge.
