Start of the HyServ project: Hybrid Services in digitalised Cooperations
CRISP-Researchers are part of the project consortium
Since August 1st 2018 CRISP researchers develop innovative service concepts and interfaces in the context of the project consortium „Hybride Dienstleistungen in digitalisierten Kooperationen“ (HyServ - Hybrid Services in digitalised Cooperations). Prof. Christian Reuter and Sebastian Linsner, both CYSEC [at] TU Darmstadt, research and develop these concepts for providers and users likewise. Their findings are illustrated and tested by using cooperative operating processes in argriculture.
Only a few days ago the kick-off event of the project has taken place in Kaiserlautern.
Like in all fields, the increasing digitalisation of the critical infrastructure of the food industry holds chances and risk alike. The digital saturation opens agriculture and dependent sectors up for possible cyber criminal attacs and accidental malfunctions.
About HyServ
The increasing digitalisation of technical work appliances in cooperative scenarios raises a need for integrative service hybrids ( i.e. combining data services and machine capacity). Within these hybrid services detailled contracts have to be made clear about the provided data and the usage of the generated data, which has been accumulated during these services. The data has to be automated and controlled decentralised. Besides drafting these smart contracts about supplying and referring appropriated opperational data, finely tuned micro-services and data sources with cryptographically secured exchanges are key duties, as well as monitoring of the agreed upon flow of data, in bockchain-based decentralised structures.
To be able to offer these hybrid services to a broad spectrum of potential users a developed and userfriendly access solution and accompanying training material will to be provided. By using established platform technologies and service architectures the realisation of sustainable commercially-assisted offers and open-source-referenceimplementations will be made possible.
The project consortiom consists of two research partners, two representative agriculture service providers, a research and show factory as well as a manufacturer of modern agricultural machinery
