The Department of Computer Engineering takes part in three different projects in Horizon 2020, the European Union's Research and Innovation Framework Program for the new term.

Müjdat Soytürk, Associate Professor of  Marmara University, Faculty of Engineering, Computer Engineering Department, has achieved significant success with his three different projects that were eligible to be supported in the field of  Horizon 2020 Electronic Components and Systems.

Assoc. Prof.  Müjdat Soytürk will be the project coordinator of three projects “BEYOND5”, “InSecTT” and “iRel4.0” that he carried out since 2018.

The "irel4.0 - Reliability Intelligent 4.0" project,  in which Assoc. Prof. Mustafa Borahan Tümer from the Faculty of Engineering Computer Engineering Department will take place as a researcher, our university is a coordinator of Turkey in the consortium where 14  countries are included.

The main objective of the BEYOND5 project is to produce technologies and solutions for 5G;  to establish a communication environment for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and to provide access to the network through V2X (Vehicle to Everything) communication for connected cars and autonomous vehicles.

Within the scope of the project, it is expected that  DA2GC (Direct Air to Ground Connectivity) communication opportunities for airplanes and drones and better quality communication with small cells in the places where the users such as trains and aircraft are in dense will be provided.

In BEYOND5, it was also aimed to provide high bandwidth for autonomous vehicles, to achieve very low latency and high amount of data transmission, to provide more coverage and network connectivity for all users.

In the “InSecTT (Intelligent Secure Trustable Things) project, it was aimed to achieve intelligent and reliable systems by combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for industrial applications.

iRel4.0 (Intelligent Reliability 4.0) project aims to increase reliability in the production throughout the entire value chain. By using Test 4.0, it was requested to improve existing test methods, to increase their scope and to develop more effective test methods and processes with innovative approaches. In this way, it is aimed to be able to detect/predict more failures and increase the reliability level before production.

With a total budget of more than € 2 million, significant improvements are expected in the Horizon 2020 in the field of Electronic Components and Systems (ECS).
