Abstract

The high-level objective of HiCONNECTS is to support major societal and industrial challenges by developing heterogenous integration (HI) core technology solutions for energy-efficient cloud and edge computing to solve one of the main state-of- the-art roadblocks: the transmission of IOT data over the IT network. This roadblock causes high latency, limited bandwidth, and high energy consumption per bit of information, so that the current cloud platforms cannot satisfy the IOT applications that require real-time response. The second and directly linked objective is to use these HI components to develop solutions in societal and economical important areas, with major focus on RF technologies (wi-fi, 5G/6G and Radar) and IT data growth infrastructure (networking cards and switches) for the advancement of vertical sectors such as connected vehicles, smart cities, and connected industry.
