LEAD Project “Dependable Things"
The seed of the research center is the LEAD project “Dependable Internet of Things in Adverse Environments” that is funded through an excellence initiative sponsored by TU Graz to foster excellent research areas of strategic importance. The LEAD project is intended to run for three years and can be extended by another three years after successful evaluation (see more).
The LEAD project will devise methods and tools to predict, guarantee, and ultimately raise the level of dependability of the IoT. The project is structured around the four subprojects summarized below which tackle the vulnerability of IoT systems to harsh environmental conditions and to physical and remote attacks, as well as the increasing complexity of IoT systems, where many devices cooperate using a dynamically changing communication network.
