ESTIMED Project Overall Approach

The ESTIMED project aims to integrate technical expertise with international standards and ecosystem collaboration to drive the adoption of edge IoT. The project unfolds in three phases:

  • Phase 1 (First Year): Focuses on requirements gathering, system design, and specifications.
  • Phase 2 (Second Year): Delivers mature Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and standard reports, incorporating hackathon results.
  • Phase 3 (Final Year): Culminates in published standards, interoperability tests, and open-source PoC implementations.

Project guidance from ETSI (the ESTIMED project beneficiary) and covers all Project management and coordination aspects, handled by an STF Leader.

WP2 aims to identify scenarios using IoT and Edge computing technologies, focusing on standard-based cases where oneM2M and ETSI MEC apply. It seeks to derive common requirements to support oneM2M-MEC interworking. The project team will select scenarios for relevant applications and will define Proof of Concept (PoC) requirements covering applications, devices, sensors, and edge computing services like machine learning, focusing on customer value.

Analyzes new functionalities and enhancements needed for oneM2M and MEC, based on scenarios, deployment options, and requirements from WP2.Moreover, solutions are analyzed and presented in standards meetings (oneM2M, MEC, etc.). Additionally, WP involves efforts to implement the specified standards solution into specific MEC and oneM2M deployments.

This WP involves developing applications and model devices for selected scenarios, as well as creating blueprints for deploying MEC-oneM2M solutions.The project team will create four Proof of Concepts (PoCs) (one for each of the deployment options) by using open source oneM2M and MEC implementations, along with related demonstrations (e.g., IoTS service producing MEC App). These PoCs will rely on scenarios from WP2 deliverables and interworking solutions from WP3 deliverables, aiming to simplify the adoption of oneM2M-MEC based edge IoT solutions in the future. Results of the PoCs analysis will be presented and documented in the related PoCs reports. Also, software artifacts will be hosted on an open source repository.

WP5 develops scenarios that can be used to test whether the solutions derived from WP3 are functioning correctly. It especially focuses on developing test scenarios based on the interoperability of the oneM2M and MEC platforms. Additionally, it aims to confirm the provision of End-to-End oneM2M IoT services through MEC by developing tests that reference existing oneM2M interoperability test standards.

This WP focuses on dissemination activities and engagement with the ecosystem, to maximize the impact of the project. The engagement will be twofold: presence in relevant conferences and related events (to engage not only researchers but also decision makers in the industry), and organization of proper Hackathons, to engage developers and stimulate the creation of applications for IoT and MEC deployments.
