“Meta-operating systems projects: Key solutions, open calls and use cases” booklet

/in /by

The European Cloud, Edge & IoT Continuum (EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu) aims to realise a pathway for the understanding and development of the Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) Continuum by promoting cooperation between a wide range of research projects, developers and suppliers, business users and potential adopters of this new technological paradigm.

To achieve these goals, the EUCloudEdgeIoT initiative coordinates a diverse portfolio of project clusters with different specialisations. These are:

  • Cloud Computing: towards a smart cloud computing continuum (ICT40-2020)
  • Software Technologies (ICT-50-2020)
  • Next Generation Internet of Things (ICT-56-2020)
  • Future European platforms for the Edge: Meta Operating Systems (HORIZON-CL4-2021-DATA-01-05)
  • Cognitive Cloud: AI-enabled computing continuum from Cloud to Edge (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-02)
  • Programming tools for decentralised intelligence and swarms (HORIZON-CL4-2022- DATA-01-03)
  • Open source for cloud-based services (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-26)

This booklet focuses specifically on the MetaOS portfolio, providing insights on relevant use cases under development and open call opportunities.

Cloud-Edge-IoT Innovations in Manufacturing: Unveiling Market Insights and Use Cases Webinar

/in , /by

The “Cloud-Edge-IoT Innovations in Manufacturing: Unveiling Market Insights and Use Cases” webinar will take place on 10th of July! It is a co-organized webinar by aerOS and FluiDOS project with the support of EUCLOUDEDGEIoT.

The manufacturing industry has witnessed a remarkable transformation in recent years, driven by rapid technological advancements. From automation to artificial intelligence, emerging trends are reshaping how factories operate and revolutionising traditional manufacturing processes. One of the key drivers of this transformation is the convergence of cloud computing, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) into a seamless continuum. The CEI continuum offers unprecedented opportunities for manufacturers to optimise operations, enhance productivity, and unlock new levels of efficiency.

This UNLOCK CEI webinar, part of the EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu initiative, aims at providing in-depth market and industry insights for the manufacturing sector, with a specific focus on cloud-edge-IoT use cases.

The event will provide valuable information and knowledge to navigate the evolving manufacturing landscape and unlock the true potential of the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum in this sector.

This webinar is co-organised with Meta Operating Systems projects of the EUCEI Community.

Concertation and Consultation Meeting of EUCLOUDEDGEIoT

/in , /by

Our Project Coordinator, Professor Carlos Enrique Palau from Universitat Politècnica de València UPV and Vasilis Pitsilis from NCSR “DEMOKRITOS” presented insights of our project during the Concertation and Consultation Meeting of EUCLOUDEDGEIoT in Brussels! The meeting took place on 10th & 11th of May 2023.

The blurring barriers between Cloud and Edge computing are giving birth to a computing continuum where services and data must be managed and secured efficiently. Especially with new trends like the Metaverse, the demand for (hybrid) cloud computing services and edge computing is expected to skyrocket. As recent studies suggest, new data processing needs are appearing at the edge. This not only for reducing latency but also to ensure data availability and privacy protection.  Running and managing data analytics and AI where it is more efficient and effective is to be supported in the Cloud-Edge-IOT continuum.

Advancing the IoT can avoid skyrocketing communication and storage costs, energy consumption and produce benefits for citizens and businesses thanks to the integration of AI and Machine Learning. 

In addition, an open ecosystem built around Open Source and Open Standards is key to unleashing the potential of the European industry in driving green and digital transformation while preserving EU strategic autonomy. Software defined infrastructures based on Open Source and Open Standards will support the next step in the Cloud-Edge-IOT continuum while preventing lock-in and favouring a competitive economy for the benefit of EU citizens.

These trends have called for a shift towards the technical and business convergence of the so-far formally separated Cloud, Edge and IoT domains, towards an open Cloud, Edge and IoT Computing Continuum. 

In the recent years, the European community of researchers and innovators at work on the next generation Cloud, Edge and IoT computing has been growing in relevance, diversity and impact. For Europe to ensure its technological sovereignty and ground the vision of a computing continuum as the backbone of an open and inclusive society, it is necessary to overcome fragmentation, bring together organisations and individuals from different communities and leverage Open Source.The Concertation and Consultation on Computing Continuum: From Cloud to Edge to IoT meeting is a 2-day physical event organised within the context of the European, Cloud, Edge and IoT Continuum initiative by the OpenContinuum consortium in close collaboration with the UNLOCK-CEI and SW Forum projects and guided by the  European Commission DG CNECT E.2 and E.4 Units.

“COMMON TAXONOMY FOR EU METAOS” workshop

/in , /by

As we explained during the EUCloudEdgeIoT launch event (February 8th) one of the goals of Task Force 3 (Architecture) is to develop a shared taxonomy for all European projects and initiatives in our field of expertise. The idea is that everyone uses the same words to refer to the same things, eliminating ambiguities and duplication of terminology and being as specific as possible. EUCloudEdgeIoT will process your inputs and provide the European Union with this commonly agreed taxonomy

So, this workshop gathered representatives of EU MetaOS projects to work collaboratively on the development of a common standardised taxonomy for all MetaOs European projects. The workshop held online and lasted 2 hours, on April 4th.
