| Abstract |
Conceived by the Technology Platform of the Mediterranean and Black Sea (PTMB, MIELE aims at addressing the following need/opportunity: to realize a pilot application the “ICT mirror image” of the multimodal logistic chain as targeted by the Global project. In doing so, MIELE aims at demonstrating, via different pilot applications, its potentials for deployment; in practical terms, the goal is to realize an homogeneous and inter-operable ICT platform (middleware) which would enable the different (existing and/or under development) systems to co-operate removing the existing “virtual bottlenecks”. In short, the goal of MIELE is to demonstrate, via pilot application, the exploitability MIELE has the features of a “wider benefits action”: accordingly, all the stakeholders of waterborne and logistics sector will benefit from MIELE’s results (transport operators, ship-operators, ports, logistic operators, port Community systems, Classification societies, Administrations etc.). |
