Industry 4.0 is reshaping the way all the economic sectors are working. The complete adoption and understanding by the companies, large or small, of the digital transformation opportunities and benefits, requires the existence of effective instruments. The Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are an important instrument, strongly promoted by the European Commission, to help companies to take advantage of digital opportunities. Aiming to boost and create synergies between several DIHs and research centers located in the northern region of Portugal and Spain, and considering the disruptive ICT technologies, the establishment of an inter-regional DIH that results from the cooperation between these entities assumes a crucial importance to transform this region into an innovative pole of reference. This paper aims to describe the strategy for the management and improvement of the quality of the innovation being developed by this inter-regional DIH under the scope of the DISRUPTIVE project. Besides considering the individual strategies of the associated members, it includes cooperative aspects, regarding the sharing of knowledge, technology, and skills, aiming to improve the quality of innovation, as well as the adoption of digitization by the companies in this region.
Con la aparición de tecnologías disruptivas como Internet de las Cosas (IoT), Industria 4.0 o Realidad Virtual (VR), entre otras, cada vez hay más servicios y dispositivos con diferentes características que se interconectan mediante redes de comunicaciones y necesitan capacidades de computación y almacenamiento con las que, en principio, no cuentan. Para superar este problema se propuso la solución de computación en la nube (cloud computing), que consiste básicamente en confiar las tareas más pesadas a un servidor central con alta potencia computacional. A primera vista este enfoque resuelve el problema, pero, como generalmente estos servidores centrales (data centers) se encuentran lejos de los dispositivos finales, aparecen nuevos problemas, especialmente con respecto al aumento de la latencia. La siguiente propuesta es el MEC (Multiaccess Edge Computing, o computación de acceso múltiple en el borde), que es similar a la computación en la nube, pero se basa en servidores más cercanos a los usuarios, esto es, «en el borde» de la red de acceso, en lugar de servidores lejanos «en la nube». Este artículo ofrece una revisión de las principales características, de MEC, haciendo énfasis en su aplicación en escenarios como muchas regiones hispano-portuguesas, con baja densidad de población, grandes distancias entre ciudades o pueblos, y con un importante porcentaje de entornos rurales.
