Hydra is affilliated with the following programs and organisations:
The Hydra coordinater FhG FIT is a member of ARTEMISIA, the association for R&D actors in the field of ARTEMIS: Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems.
The Hydra middleware allows developers to create inclusive applications with a high degree of accessibility for all. The Hydra project supports the Commissions campaign: eInclusion - be part of it!
The Hydra project is part of the Cluster of European projects on the Internet of Things. The Cluster aims to promote a common vision of the Internet of Things.

About the Hydra Project |
 |
|
 The Hydra project is a 4-year Integrated Project that develops middleware for Networked Embedded Systems. The Hydra project is co-funded by the European Commission.
The Hydra middleware allows developers to incorporate heterogeneous physical devices into their applications by offering easy-to-use web service interfaces for controlling any type of physical device irrespective of its network technology such as Bluetooth, RF, ZigBee, RFID, WiFi, etc. Hydra incorporates means for Device and Service Discovery, Semantic Model Driven Architecture, P2P communication, and Diagnostics. Hydra enabled devices and services can be secure and trustworthy through distributed security and social trust components of the middleware.
By browsing these pages, you will find more detailed information about the Hydra project and our achievements.

| The fifth Hydra Newsletter is now available |
| The fifth Hydra newsletter gives the reader an insight into Hydra’s achievements to date as well as a look into the future. The Hydra project is in its final year but plans are already in store to ensure that the results of the project are put to use after the project ends. |

| Hydra workshop on sustainable business models in agriculture |
 The Hydra middleware for networked embedded systems allows developers to rapidly develop agricultural applications that integrate farm ICT systems, farm equipment, RFID tags, and various logistics devices into a fully interoperable application for e.g. food traceability, farm management, herd monitoring, etc.
In order to explore new market opportunities based on Hydra middleware, the project is hosting a workshop on sustainable business models in for ICTs in agriculture on 27 January 2010 in Rome. The workshop will allow various stakeholders and experts from different EU countries to discuss and identify sustainable business models for the Hydra middleware in the agricultural domain.
If you are interested in participating please send a brief biography specifying your interest in the workshop to Alessio Gugliotta: a.gugliotta@innova-eu.net or Trine F. Sørensen: tfs@in-jet.dk
Please note that there are a limited number of spaces available.

| ICT Results publishes a feature about Hydra. |
Hydra continues to attract attention and a recent feature on ICT Results (ICT Results) highlights some of the innovative functions made possible by the Hydra middleware. A real advantage of the Hydra middleware is that it allows different devices – both new and existing – to be networked, thus taking us a step closer towards the future “Internet of Things”. Validation of the Hydra middleware is being carried out in three different domains: healthcare, building automation and agriculture, which gives one an idea of the wide-ranging possibilities and functions that Hydra offers.
The feature article is available here: ICT Results - Features

| Hydra goes to Brazil! |
The Hydra project has been invited to participate in the EU-Brazil Information Society Dialogue, 9-11 September 2009 in São Paulo, Brazil. The project will present its impressive results and progress in areas such as self-configuration, self-management, semantic interoperability and advanced machine-to-machine communication using P2P SOAP tunneling. 
EU relations with the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region in the Information Society field have thus been substantially reinforced over the last years. Information Society is now firmly in the bi-regional political agenda.
The Commission found that the award-winning demonstration of the HYDRA should be used to show the type of advanced applications the Commission envisions in the area of Networked Embedded Systems and the presentation will take place during a one-day Workshop on "Networked Embedded Intelligence". |

| Hydra is now placing Open Source reference implementations at SourceForge |
 The Hydra project is aiming at developing Open Source reference implementation of key components of the developed middleware.
The Hydra project is now present at SourceForge and you may find comprehensive and updated software components there. The first software for a Hydra NetworkManager bundle on OSGi has been released enabling early adopters to set up a minimalistic test environment to run the Hydra Network Manager.

| Fantastic Hydra online demo now available! |
This breathtaking online demo shows a Smart Home application that has been built using the Hydra middleware and tools. It shows you a room layout, where available devices are displayed. By clicking on them you can control and interact with the physical devices that you see in the above camera. You can switch between different tabs to get temperature, air pressure, wind speed. You can also control a fan to create wind that will cause the wind meter to change.
