In the Christian Doppler Laboratory Blockchain Technologies for the Internet of Things (CDL-BOT), researchers work on different research questions which aim to make Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) suitable for applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). The research problems taken into account range from blockchain interoperability to lightweight DLTs and support for software developers. CDL-BOT aims at making DLTs a commodity in the IoT - for applications ranging from trustful data exchange and data storage to payment mechanisms.

This project integrates the services and research necessary to process the very large amounts of data produced in SMART reactors. For the research part, novel approaches to establish data stream processing in the fog will be developed. A special focus is on integrated solutions which consider aspects like networking quality when setting up a data stream processing topology. The goal is to integrate edge- and cloud-based computational resources in order to process very large amounts of data coming from SMART reactors and similar smart systems.
