Building upon existing and rapidly evolving technologies and architectures in the field Big Data, IoT, continuum computing, Artificial Intelligence, HCI, etc, new paradigms have emerged such as the Web3.0, the Metaverse, and the Spatial Web. These new and complementary paradigms are moving at speed light from fantasy literature to reality, and probably opening a new thread of opportunities and challenges for existing and emerging industries and our society. How does these 3 terms/paradigms...

Last August 2021 BDVA released his community position to the proposal for AI regulation supporting the idea of balancing between regulation and innovation. It is acknowledged the importance of trust and trustworthiness to boost investment and innovation. However, the cost, time, infrastructure, and knowledge needed to e.g. comply with the AI regulation may be burdensome. There is a risk that small companies, research and education organizations might not be able to easily follow and be aff...

Pilot Demonstrators and Industrial Use Cases
The European Commission is preparing an Action Plan on the Digitalisation of Energy (DoEAP), to be published in autumn 2022. Digitalisation is a prerequisite and allows to the efficient and effective operation of the energy system and energy markets. The data includes metering data, data from consumers such as home appliances, building automation, EV charging stations, or prosumers PV panel & inverters. Its availabilit...

DataPorts is a project funded by the European Commission as part of the H2020 Big Data Value PPP programme. It relies on the participation of 13 partners from five different nationalities. The project involves the design and implementation of a data platform and its deployment in two relevant European seaports connecting to their existing digital infrastructures and addressing specific local constraints. The D...
This session provides an opportunity for the AIOTI semantic expert group to discuss the role of ontologies in the context of the Green and Digital transformation with external stakeholders. We would like to start with an introduction to the Green and Digital transformation by the EC. Then provide an update about the activities in the AIOTI semantic expert group concerning ontologies (especially the Ontology landscape recently published), while sharing some e...
The Quadruple Helix Model of innovation recognizes four major actors in the innovation system: society, policy, industry, and science. In keeping with this model, more and more governments are prioritizing greater public involvement in innovation processes and generating new ways to innovate using science results and connecting them with industry, known as knowledge transfer. Horizon Europe needs to be prepare to lea...
This session focuses on standards related to IoT and Edge computing which enable the integration of data spaces. It will cover the following topics:Data space challengesData space standardisationInteroperable data spacesExample of energy data spacesThe move to the Far Edge will have huge economic potential by leveraging a local, distributed computing infrastructure, and it facilitates the creation of...
The call topic “Future European platforms for the Edge: Meta Operating Systems” targeted for the next generation of higher-level (meta) operating systems for the smart IoT with strong computing capacity at the edge, embedded in a computing continuum from IoT-to-edge-to-cloud.

The Internet and the recent connectivity leap are shaping every aspect of our lives, becoming more intelligent and connected. As IoT evolves, it changes how we interact with the internet and it with us. However, the enormous penetration of IoT into our day-to-day life has created a similarly large attack surface that includes high security and privacy risks. The IoT ecosystem now in...
Is your water fully digitalised? What could be the benefit of sharing water data? How can Artificial Intelligence help you manage your water? Can digitalisation ensure security? Why are interoperable solutions important? What is the current digitalisation state of the water sector and how it may change in the near future? During this session, the current digitalisation state and research of water management in urban areas will be described using the H2020 NAIADES project as basis. Joi...
Digital Platforms have a disruptive impact on industry value chains and organisations which are the providers and users of digital platforms.
