AerOS Open Call #2

Summary

AerOS is a project funded by the Horizon Europe programme aiming at designing and building a virtualised platform-agnostic meta operating system for the IoT-edge-cloud continuum.

Detailed Call Description

Open Call 2  main Goals:

  • to validate and improve technical components of the aerOS meta operating system;
  • to bring external actors (developers, domain experts, entrepreneurs, etc.) to create new solutions leveraging aerOS;
  • promote the visibility of aerOS architecture and outcomes on the market
  • gathering new inputs from IoT, edge, network and industrial experts
  • extend application base of aerOS to other verticals outside the ones included in the proposal (domain-agnostic)

AerOS aims to establish a common meta Operating System that follows a collaborative IoT-Edge–Cloud architecture supporting flexible deployments (e.g., federated or hierarchical), enabling the distribution of intelligence and computation – including AI, ML, and Big Data analytics – to achieve an optimal solution while satisfying the given constraints.
