DESSIN presented at CPS Week 2016

DESSIN was presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Smart Water Networks, at the CPS Week2016 in Vienna, Austria, at the beginning of April.

“Smart water management has become a key policy for the 21st century, setting out the framework for sustainable solutions on water resources utilization. As a result, information and communication technology (ICT) in general, and CPS in particular have been blended with the water infrastructure, towards an emerging engineering field, coined as Smart Water Networks. Driven by the engineering and research challenges, the objective of CySWater 2016 therefore was to bring together researchers and engineers from the fields of Communications/Networking, Learning/Processing, and Control and practitioners from the Water Industry to both share their experiences, as well as formulate novel CPS paradigms for fulfilling the vision of Smart Water Networks.” (CPS Week 2016)

The DESSIN presentation, titled “A CPS-Enabled Architecture for Sewer Mining Systems”, introduced the ICT and web-based platform developed for the sewer mining system of the Athens demo site. The presentation mainly focused on the architectural aspects and the implementation details of the CPS-enabled architecture, creating an abstraction layer for observations, providing interoperability among sensor data representation, and enabling transformation of monitored data into meaningful and actionable knowledge for the monitoring and control functions of the sewer-mining system. The work was presented in the Session: “CPS for Smart Water Networks: Control, Performance and Applications”
