ZEE

There is a high need to process privacy and intellectual property-related digital artefacts, such as datasets, models or algorithms. The vision of ZEE is that no copies must be created for the processing of these artefacts. Technical issues of security and privacy can be addressed with novel approaches. However, current IT infrastructures represent major barriers. Much sought-after applications like controlled data sharing, distributed computing or distributed toolchains are effectively prevented. The ZEE project aims to exploit edge/network/cloud computing-based mechanisms to circumvent these issues in order to enable new business opportunities through a more generous attitude towards sharing in industry.
