Project information | The main objective of ENACT is to enable DevOps practices for the IoT. The ENACT DevOps Framework consist in a set of loosely coupled tools to support the development, operation and quality assurance of trustworthy smart IoT systems. The next generation of IoT systems will span across IoT, Edge and cloud, with local data analytics, decision making, and actuators involved. We denote them the Smart IoT Systems (SIS). Software plays a key role in such systems, and their increased complexity, the unpredictability of their environment, as well as the their requirements for trustworthiness, calls for fast and continuous reaction by the software teams in charge of their development and operation. Meanwhile, DevOps emerges as the de facto software development method for cloud system, allowing developers to continuously change the software and to directly place the changes into the production. Despite the wide adoption of DevOps for cloud applications, there is no effective solution to enable DevOps for smart IoT systems. ENACT aims at providing the first experimental toolset for this purpose. The project is funded by the EU H2020 project under Grant Agreement No. 780351 |

Description of the project and its goals | The ENACT framework consists of the following tools to support the different steps of DevOps for trustworthy SIS. |

Web site | https://www.enact-project.eu/ |
---|
Targeted audience | The main potential users of the framework are developers and DevOps teams of IoT applications. We also foresee the interest from research teams from software engineering, cloud computing and IoT domains. |
---|
Supporting team | The tools are maintained by ENACT consortium, mainly SINTEF, CNRS, Tecnalia, UDE, Montimage, Beawre and Evidian. |
---|
Business model / Strategy | The ENACT consortium and most of the academic partners are non-profit organizations. Some partners, including Beawre, are commercializing part of the solutions based on SaaS business model, i.e., developing and maintaining the software as open source project, while monetizing it via subscription fees and consultancy of the SaaS offering based on the open source software. |
---|
User community | There is not an external user community beyond the project partners, at the moment |
---|
Internationalization | The project currently only support English. However, the underlying UI framework (Ant.Design) behind all the ENACT tools, provides I18N support to a set of languages, and we can exploit this in the future. |
---|
Roadmap | • Finalizing the designed features and fix bugs |

Your project and OW2 | ENACT aims at reaching the OW2 community of cloud, Edge and IoT developers. As development tools, ENACT will be complementary to the middleware projects in OW2, by providing the development support to developers who build their applications on the cloud and IoT middleware. |
---|
OW2 projects | The most relevant OW2 project we identified at the moment is MobIoT, a middleware for large-scale IoT systems. |
---|
OW2 initiatives |
---|
Technologies and standards | - Docker |
---|
Contribution to the OW2 Community | ENACT would like to provide to the OW2 Community a DevOps environment for developers to extend their application domain from cloud to IoT and Edge. |
---|
Motivations to join the consortium and its community | The ENACT consortium is currently managing the code base on itself, as a GitLab project. As the tools get more mature, we face more and more urgent requirement to harden the quality of the tools, and to promote to a large developer community, in order to get prepared for going to the market. We appreciate the OW2 community, the beta-testing assistance, as well as the dissemination events as particular useful for the last step of the ENACT project. |
