I4S aims to mitigate the IT risks caused by the adoption of Industry 4.0 paradigms. In this context, the following will be developed: methodologies and tools for IT risk analysis; innovative best practices for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of connected production plants; innovative technological solutions for safety; simulation systems to analyze computer security without interfering with the operation of production plants.

Technological solutions will also be identified that can improve the degree of security and resilience with respect to cyber attacks. The development of these solutions, and above all of the emulation system of production plants and connected machines, will be based on modern fog / edge computing paradigms, and on the extensive use of virtualization and software-defined-networking technologies. The results of this project will make it possible to design and build safer production plants and connected machinery, capable of guaranteeing: higher levels of protection of personal and corporate data transmitted and used by connected production plants; the maintenance of business operations and the activity of critical production processes even in the event of cyber attacks.

Key element of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is that MaaS operators can aggregate solutions of multiple transport companies to deliver dynamic, transparent multi-modal travels to their users, who experience transportation as managed directly by a single operator. To enable MaaS, within the Smart Mobility for All EIT Project, we created SMAll, a platform (and its related wiki) where providers of transport solutions can trade their information as well as other services for mobility, like booking, payment, and travel assistance, on demand.

SMAll includes the latests technologies in terms of provision, deployment, scaling, and maintenance of applications: microservices and containerisation. In addition, SMAll supports the creation of a federation-based MaaS market, where a SMAll instance is a hub for local (e.g., city-wide) transport operators and geographically sparse SMAll instances can federate to form a global market for MaaS.

To test SMAll, we also implemented pilots within the platform, collaborating with the Department of Transportation of Emilia-Romagna region, Lepida S.c.p.A., and Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
