D2.7 – aerOS architecture definition (2)

/0 Comments/in /by

This document, the second iteration of the aerOS architectural design, delivers the finalized reference architecture, detailing all functional and technical concepts and components. Building upon the groundwork established in the initial deliverable, this document not only presents enhancements and practical implementations of the aerOS framework but also guides further instantiation and deployment for all use cases in WP5 and through subsequent open calls. Additionally, it provides a refined prototype that serves as a robust reference for future implementations beyond the project’s conclusion.

2nd Workshop on MetaOS for the Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum (MECC 2025)

/0 Comments/in /by

The 2nd Workshop on MetaOS for the Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum (MECC 2025) will be co-hosted at the ACM EuroSys 2025 that will be held from March 30 to April 3, 2025, in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The workshop, co-organised by projects of the MetaOS cluster – FLUIDOS, NEPHELE, aerOS, NebulOuS, NEMO and ICOS EU funded projects – aims to provide an overview of the opportunities and critical issues brought by a MetaOS orchestrating the Cloud-Edge-IoT ecosystem, particularly focusing on its deployment to optimize AI processes computational needs.

Through a series of technical presentations, interactive sessions, and panel discussions, this workshop will address critical issues such as interoperability, standardization, and contribution to relevant open-source projects. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share research findings, and collaborate on innovative solutions to advance the field of MetaOS.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

  • Enablers, tools and mechanisms for MetaOS, services and applications
  • Latency, scalability, and connectivity issues in the continuum
  • Data protection, privacy, and defense mechanisms against emerging threats
  • Solutions and algorithms for distributed processing at the edge
  • Real-time decision making and AI models based on heterogeneous data
  • Practical applications of MetaOS in various industries, e.g., healthcare, smart cities, and industrial automation
  • AI/ML for resource allocation and predictive maintenance
  • Service and network orchestration in the continuum
  • Serverless computing and Function-as-a-Service in the MetaOS
  • Energy efficiency and resource optimisation by exploiting MetaOS benefits
  • Multi-tenancy at the edge of the network
  • Open Hardware and Software solutions for the MetaOS
  • Novel solutions for a transparent service migration across (far) regions
  • Business models for a multi-stakeholder MetaOS-based computing continuum


IMPORTANT DATES:

  • Paper Submission Deadline: January 25, 2025
  • Notification of Acceptance: February 21, 2025
  • Camera-ready Submission: March 3, 2025
  • Workshop Date: March 31, 2025

aerOS Pilot 1 Scenario 3 – Current aerOS developments

/0 Comments/in /by

The goal of aerOS Pilot 1 Scenario 3 use case is to establish a versatile production system distinguished by modularity, efficiency, and adaptability to dynamic manufacturing conditions. This integration is facilitated through aerOS decentralized intelligence and communication technology, complemented by Siemens cloud systems services known as SIMATIC Industrial EDGE.

In this video we show the current development of aerOS in our use case and the different tools used in it, such as SIMATIC SIMOVE ANS+ or Behaviour Trees.
