Important results from the project
SCOTT aimed to provide more than 20 tangible demonstrators, presenting its cost-efficient solutions of wireless, end-to-end secure and trustworthy connectivity. KTH, in close collaboration with Ericsson, worked on realizing an Automated Warehouse demonstrator, which was showcased by the project. The demonstrator is available as open source at https://github.com/EricssonResearch/scott-eu Overall, the project resulted in one doctoral dissertation and a mid-term assessment. KTH lead or was one of the main contributors to 7 deliverables, as well as 7 scientific publications.
Expected long term effects
KTH was engaged through the whole development of the Automated Warehouse, from requirements and specifications, to architecture, and finally its implementation. For the overall SCOTT reference architecture, KTH supported the requirements engineering efforts, mostly focused on the interoperability aspects. It also collaborated on the requirements for the Application Layer Protocols and Big Data Analytics building blocks. During the project, KTH also continued its long-term activities in the standardisation efforts of the OASIS OSLC Open Project, which is co-chaired by KTH.
Approach and implementation
In this large project, KTH’s effort was focused on the “Logistics Management Using Collaborative Robots and DevOps Methodologies” Use Case, which was led by Ericsson. KTH also participates in several relevant Building Blocks, and Technology Lines. To foster tighter cooperation, the two PhD students were co-located at the Ericsson Research offices for most of the project duration, and beyond. Ericsson staff were also regularly hosted at KTH. Overall, the project resulted in good cooperation with Swedish as well as European partners.
