European Union Funded Programs Push the
Boundaries in IoT Applications and Development of Code to
Facilitate Compliance with the General Data Protection
Regulation
Today, CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) announced that its Strategic
Research team will collaborate on three projects funded by the
European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 program. These projects will enable the secure and
smart IoT systems that will underpin a more trusted and connected
world, and will explore the development of algorithms and tools
required to build compliance into software development
processes.
CA Strategic Research scientists explore new technologies,
applications and platforms like IoT, robotics, Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and more through diverse R&D efforts in
partnership with leading research communities in academia,
government and beyond.
For IoT, the possibilities are unbounded and include smart
cities, transit and infrastructure, among others. But IoT systems
are also highly complex, layered, and present fundamental
scientific challenges around system resiliency, trust and
continuous innovation.
“To realize the massive promise of an IoT-driven world, we must
solve complex challenges,” said Otto Berkes, Chief Technology
Officer, CA Technologies. “These hurdles must be overcome before we
can deliver IoT systems that can provide valuable and trusted data,
be adaptable and open to new technologies – systems that haven’t
even been invented yet.”
ALOHA for Deep, Secure Learning
A smart security system that gathers data from IoT devices needs
to ensure that the AI-based decisions from that data are not
producing biased results. The ALOHA (Adaptive Learning on
Heterogeneous Architectures) project aims to improve human
decision-making in IoT applications.
ALOHA will explore how a type of AI, known as ‘deep learning’,
can be embedded in IoT applications to imitate biological neural
networks and acquire human-like learning capabilities. This work
also exploits the increasing compute capacity of edge devices that
provide an entry point into enterprise or service provider core
networks -- like routers and servers -- and their ability to
support the execution of AI algorithms.
CA’s Security expertise will contribute a depth of understanding
to this project which is critical to creating bias-free AI. “CA’s
goal through ALOHA is to learn from experience and react
autonomously to a surrounding environment, while avoiding AI bias,”
says Victor Muntés, vice president of Strategic Research, CA
Technologies.
ENACT for Smarter IoT
Today, smart railway systems require an IoT system comprised of
multiple applications. Exposing vulnerabilities early on in the
software development process could prevent a major system failure.
The ENACT project aims to drive faster innovation across
trustworthy, smart IoT systems through new development, operation
and security applications that span IoT, edge and cloud
infrastructures.
In addition to developing smart home e-health applications, this
pioneering research will also help to build AI-based self-diagnosis
for smart operation, which will eventually enable trains to “learn”
and predict anomalies. These “smart trains” will also need advanced
simulation models to ensure IoT system and application security as
edge devices are continuously added in the future.
As a leading partner in the project, CA Technologies will push
the boundaries of continuous delivery, agile operation and security
technologies and processes designed for smart IoT systems.
“In the future, all devices will ultimately be connected. ENACT
research will help transform the understanding of how trusted,
smart IoT systems can be developed and operated in our
fast-changing environment,” says Muntés. “CA’s deep expertise in
the enterprise, combined with insights from our Strategic Research,
aims to contribute to a more trusted, connected world and transform
concepts into breakthroughs.”
PDP4E for Better Privacy and Personal Data Protection
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new and
comprehensive law that requires businesses and governments to
protect the personal data and privacy of individuals in the EU*.
The regulation has a global impact and cuts across all sectors with
non-compliance potentially resulting in massive fines. GDPR is
expected to set a new standard not only for consumer rights
regarding their data, but also companies challenged with putting
systems and processes in place to comply.
The Privacy and Data Protection for Engineers (PDP4E) project
will address the protection of personal data, and explore how to
better enable the development of code that allows companies to
comply with GDPR, by enabling engineers with tools to integrate
data privacy during the development process (or “Privacy by
Design”).
CA’s research for PDP4E will support the development of tools
and processes that enable data privacy, facilitating
GDPR-compliance for organizations as they create new applications.
The research will also explore algorithms for classifying documents
with personal information and without it to simplify the detection
of the content that is subject to data protection regulation.
“As we rely on AI and new development processes to uncover ways
to make GDPR compliance easier, our goal is to reduce the burden
and potential financial impact that this regulation could impose on
organizations while streamlining compliance,” said Muntés.
In collaboration with the EU, CA’s research creates
opportunities that accelerate ideas to outcomes. Projects span next
generation infrastructure, security and privacy, and new business
models and processes. Muntés continues, “For example with ALOHA, CA
will also focus on exploring how agile methodologies can be used
when embedding deep learning in our applications.” CA’s projects
are conducted through the Office of the CTO and led by a team of
distinguished researchers, engineers and staff. To date, CA
Strategic Research has published more than 75 papers, and has been
granted more than 70 patents.
*This project has received funding from the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant
agreement No 787034.
