AGILE • University of Passau

An Adaptive and Modular Gateway for the Internet of Things

AGILE will deliver a modular IoT gateway for enabling various types of devices (wearables, home appliances,sensors and actuators, etc.) to be connected with each other and to the Internet. The modularity will enable the support of various networking interfaces and technologies (e.g., Bluetooth Low Energy, ZigBee, ZWave, 433 and 866MHz RF, LoRa, etc.) for communication with a wide range of devices, and the support of different connection mechanisms to the Internet (WiFi, Ethernet, 2G/3G) based on user needs and the different use cases.

Also, this project aims to enable Data management and device control either at local gateway level (maximising security and privacy) and/or also enabled remotely through the support of various open and private Clouds (FIWARE Cloud, AmazonWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, CloudFoundry PaaS, etc.). Developers and end-users will be able to decide where the data is stored and how device management is performed based on the context and the use case. Further, data management and device control are also provided. either at local gateway level (maximising security and privacy) and/or also enabled remotely through the support of various open and private Clouds (FIWARE Cloud, AmazonWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, CloudFoundry PaaS, etc.). Developers and end-users will be able to decide where the data is stored and how device management is performed based on the context and the use case.

Main characteristics of AGILE are:

Modular & Adaptable
Open Source
Deveopled based on diverse Pilots (with an open call for additional ones)
An IoT Testbed
A complete IoT Ecosystem

Role of Uni Passau in AGILE

Our chair is currently contributing to the design and development of the security framework for AGILE. The security mechanisms our group is going to integrate are:

Identity Management for users, sensors, etc.
Data provenance and Usage control for the information generated from different sensors connected to the AGILE gateway.
Enable gradual release of the data from the gateway to external parties to improve privacy.
