ARTEMIS Call 2 project pSHIELD - pilot embedded Systems arcHItecturE for multi-Layer Dependable solutions

pShield is a pilot demonstrator to enable embedded systems as real-time providers for industrial processes. The specific use case targeted for this project is the sensor integration from trains into an embedded system (ES) management tool. The use case pr oviders are the Norwegian Rail Administration (Jernbaneverket - JBV) and Telenor Objects, with Movation acting as a mediator between the academic and the use-case partners. The exploitation of the results is essential for demonstrating the economic impac t of the research. All involved Norwegian partners/industries are committed to the exploitation of the results. Exploitations of the pSHIELD-N results will offer a strategic opportunity for the longer-term development of our Norwegian partners' business b oth in Europe and globally. Success of commercial exploitation of one use cases may open the possibility of extending it to similar use cases having substantial business opportunities in bigger market segments for Norwegian industries. For the telecommuni cation operators, competition is quite high in their core market segments and unconventional services to other areas will increase the revenue of these companies. The main achievements in this pilot project, seen from a Norwegian point of view, are to - demonstrate the ability of including embedded system (ES) information into a industrial processes, - enable these ES information through generic Internet-based methods, - create the architecture for dependability, security and privacy of confidential ES data, and - provide examples of access rights based on dependabilities of actors. Such an inclusion of information from the edge of the network will contribute to the development of the Internet of Things, and enable services based on the information provided by the ESs.
