Snap4City - helped us build IMPETUS
Snap4City is a 100% open-source platform providing a flexible method and solution to quickly set up smart city applications exploiting heterogeneous data and enabling services for stakeholders by IOT/IOE (Internet of things/internet of everything), data analytics, and big data technologies. It grew out of EU-funded initiatives, and is built on the FIWARE open source platform, which arose from a flagship EU project.
IMPETUS established a co-operation with Snap4City early in the project, and adopted the platform as a basis for implementation of the IMPETUS integrating platform that allows all IMPETUS tools to be accessed via a common interface. Snap4City was a great help in facilitating and accelerating development of our platform.
S4AllCities - twin project
The H2020 call to which the IMPETUS consortium successfully responded also funded another project with overall objectives similar to IMPETUS: S4AllCities. The two projects ran in parallel, and co-operated throughout - but especially in the final stages of the projects. Co-operation consisted of exchanges of ideas and experiences and participation in live testing exercises and dissemination events. We felt that we were so close that we called S4AllCities our "twin" project.
Both projects created a set of tools providing partially overlapping and partially unique functionality.
S4AllCities produced an excellent promotional video describing one of the live exercises carried out in the project. Highly recommended!
On termination of the projects the two projects jointly created:
SINTEF AS [VAT number: NO919303808MVA], COMUNE DI PADOVA [VAT number: 00644060287], INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY POLICIES [VAT number: 21013101] and OSLO KOMMUNE [VAT number: NO976819837MVA] are the Joint Controllers of the personal data which you will provide by using the website www.impetus-project.eu (the “Website”).
