isapiens@home

isapiens@home is a three layer platform composed by a Cloud layer, a Middle layer and a Physical layer designed to address issues related to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT). isapiens@home hides heterogeneity by providing a Virtual Object concept, and addresses the distributed nature of CPS/IoT applications by introducing a distributed multi-agent system on top of the physical part. isapiens@home aims to get the computation close to the sources of information (i.e., the physical devices), thus decreasing the need for remote communications. Furthermore, it addresses the dynamic adaptivity requirements of CPS fostering the use of Swarm Intelligence algorithms. isapiens@home also exploits the Cloud to carry out high computational tasks when needed.
