ERTIS Research Group

ERTIS focuses its research activity on improving the management, accessibility and integration of embedded devices in the context of the Internet of Things. ERTIS is part of the ITIS Software institute.

Research Areas

ERTIS focuses on several research lines that address the challenges of embedded and distributed systems in real-time and critical domains. Our work is organized into the following areas

Digital Twins and Open Platforms

Architectures for modeling, simulation, and monitoring of physical processes, applied to domains such as agriculture, energy, and infrastructures.

Open Twins

Streaming Deep and Distributed Neural Networks over the IoT/Edge/Fog/Cloud

ERTIS investigates how to integrate deep neural networks with messaging systems for deployment across IoT, Edge, Fog, and Cloud environments, exemplified by its Kafka-ML framework, which manages the entire AI model lifecycle through data streams.

Kafka-ML

IoT, Edge, and Fog Computing

Middleware and distributed architectures that enable efficient data processing across heterogeneous devices and networks.

Real-Time and Critical Systems

Methods and tools to ensure predictability, functional safety, and cybersecurity in systems where failures are not acceptable.
