The SWAMP project actively engaged in the 20^th RNP Workshop that took place in Gramado, Brazil, during May 6^th and 7^th, 2019 (wrnp.rnp.br/en). Gramado is a popular winter tourist town, situated in the mountain range called Serra Gaúcha in the Brazilian southernmost state Rio Grande do Sul (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramado).

The Brazilian National Research and Educational Network (Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa – RNP) provides access to the Internet and other services to a myriad of academic and research institutions in Brazil. Also, it funds R&D projects aimed at putting forward the current state of the art and practice in computer networking and distributed systems. Since 1999, RNP organizes an annual workshop for bringing together its target public to the newest technological advancements and research and development hot topics in ICT.

SWAMP, like other collaborative projects, had a stand at the exposition area of the Gramado Master Hotel. This year, the SWAMP booth was a very popular attraction point, since we showed real data coming from the Guaspari Pilot, a local demo and a green sensor probe.

Also, SWAMP participated in a panel aimed at discussing the Brazil & EU cooperation in ICT (https://twitter.com/Rede_RNP/status/1125749852435046400).

All six projects selected in the 4^th joint call had a representative member in the panel, in a excellent opportunity for communicating the project goals and challenges, as well as an opportunity for clustering.

SWAMP Represented at the FRUCT 24 Conference in Moscow

A training day on SEPA (SPARQL Event Processing Architecture), a core element of the SWAMP platform, was held in Moscow (9-10 April 2019) during the FRUCT 24 conference (fruct.org) and the SWAMP project has been presented as a use case.

SWAMP members also presented a paper entitled “Mapping the NGSI-LD context model on top of a SPARQL Event Processing Architecture: implementation guidelines” which represents a first attempt to implement the NGSI-LD specification on top of SEPA. This would allow SEPA to become a FIWARE Generic Enabler, enhancing FIWARE with the Dynamic Linked Data support.
