Prof. Huang Gang’s team makes significant progress on Internet of Data Cloud Computing development
Nov 30, 2021
Peking University, November 30, 2021: On November 2, 2021, the key R&D project, China’s Internet of Data
cloud computing architecture and platform, passed the evaluation of
China’s Ministry of Science and Technology. This project was initiated
and developed by Prof. Huang Gang from PKU School of Computer Science,
along with his research team.
With the vigorous development of the new generation of information
technology and applications, data has become a basic strategic resource
and a key factor of production. Realizing trusted, manageable and
controllable data interconnection and intelligent applications has
become the basic requirement for the further development of the digital
economy and society. It will promote the formation of a new data centric
infrastructure, namely, the Internet of Data.
Since 2018, Prof. Huang’s research group from 17 universities and
research institutes jointly explored the software-based China’s Internet
of data cloud computing scheme. They have cooperated with Robert Kahn,
winner of Turing Award and the father of the Internet. Taking the
digital object architecture DOA designed by Kahn - the mainstream
technology and standard system in the field of digital networking as the
starting point, they proposed a software definition method based on
digital objects, which laid the theoretical foundation for the whole
scheme. They found solutions to a series of key technological problems
in Internet of Data, established the core technology system and
formulated a new version of Digital Object Interface Protocol (DOIP),
one of the two basic protocols in DOA. The system prototype of this
scheme has already been verified through carrying out demonstrations in
typical fields such as smart city and intelligent assistant.
In the future, Prof. Huang will continue to improve the theory,
technology and system of China’s Internet of Data cloud through domestic
and international cooperation to promote the construction and major
applications of digital networking infrastructure in many fields and
regions as well as to support the development of the national big data
strategy and digital economy.
