The HUF 1 Billion Research Program of Informatics Launched by the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group in 2013

The National Development Agency issued a call for

proposals in 2012 on the promotion of Hungary’s

participation in the EIT KICs and its cooperation with

the EIT KIC partners. The EIT ICT Labs Budapest As-

sociate Partner Group with Eötvös Loránd University

(ELTE), Budapest University of Technology and Eco-

nomics (BME) and Cisco Systems Ltd. as its mem-

bers, has been granted HUF 1 billion funding by the

state to set up the local Co-Location Centre and serve

as a “carrier” for the research projects carried out be-

tween March 2013 and the first half of 2014.

We­have­chosen­to­adapt­task-oriented­pro-

gramming­ techniques­ to­ cyber-physical

task-oriented­ approach­ is­ to­ describe­ an

application­ as­ a­ system­ of­ the­ tasks­ that

comprise­it.­One­task's­result­can­be­used

by­ another,­ and­ composite­ tasks­ can­ be

constructed­from­simpler­tasks,­thus­form-

For­constructing­task-oriented­programs,

guage­named­Réa.

Results and next steps

Since­the­prototype­implementation­based­on

developed­a­new­solution,­in­which­Réa­has­a
