AIDA

Adaptative, Intelligent and Distributed Assurance Platform

AIDA aims at improving a platform used by Mobileum for integrated risk management in companies. This platform ensures revenue, corporate conditions, and fraud control for companies. Thanks to this newest version of the platform, companies will be able to collect and monitor data in an extremely flexible way, with real-time guarantees, security and reliability by leveraging the increasing edge computing capacity made available by the IoT and the imminent large-scale deployment of 5G cellular technology. A complete prototype of AIDA will be deployed and demoed by the end of the project in a realistic scenario in telecommunication services.

AIDA, Improving the RAID Platform

RAID is a Mobileum (previously named WE DO Technologies) flagship end-to-end real-time data management platform developed to collect data across business applications and platforms to provide detailed monitoring of business activity and improve corporate performance. RAID handles the entire risk management lifecycle of enterprises and is currently applied worldwide to address, among others, revenue assurance, business assurance, and fraud management.

The AIDA project’s overarching goal is to conceive a new version of the RAID platform by moving some of the pipeline phases to the edge of the system and taking advantage of 5G. Today, the platform is fully deployed in physically collocated servers, either on-premises or in the cloud. With AIDA, data collection, monitoring, and even actuation phases should be prepared to run in diverse hardware architectures outside the platform’s owner’s physical or even administrative control.

What to expect

AIDA will enable data collection, monitoring, and even actuation phases of the RAID platform to run at the edge of the network, considering diverse hardware architectures, such as end-user devices, intermediaries such as routers and gateways, telcos base stations, and cloudified microservices. AIDA should still provide highly configurable and rich data collection and monitoring while preserving the current real-time, security, and dependability guarantees of the RAID platform.

Goals

The main technological goals of the project are:

Distribution of the RAID platform components leveraging edge computing and 5G
To delegate processing to the edge or use central servers, according to the computation nature and the type and localization of monitoring and reference data;

Exploration of emergent federated machine learning techniques
To learn from local data and push incremental model updates to coordinator nodes that maintain global models based on the contribution of edge nodes and other relevant data sources;

Resilience to intrusion or tampering
To require the research and application of intrusion detection techniques at multiple architecture levels to enable system-wide intrusion tolerance;

Data privacy and confidentiality
To maintain the confidentiality of the operational data being monitored and analyzed and protecting the privacy of the entities to whom the data refers to are fundamental concerns in the platform’s design.
