Summary
Focus should be on autonomous and AI-enabled management schemes and data processing methods that enable this transition to a compute continuum with strong capacities at the edge and fog/IoT edge in an energy efficient and trustworthy manner.
Detailed Call Description
It requires innovative management techniques and computational methods of the whole computing continuum from Cloud to Edge to IoT that are enabled by Swarm computing and decentralised intelligence.
Intelligent compute, data and code orchestration mechanisms need to be integrated, which allow efficient value extraction from the huge volumes of generated data at the edge of the network and which support unprecedented levels of resource dynamicity and scalability across the compute continuum.
Intelligent compute, data and code orchestration mechanisms need to be integrated, which allow efficient value extraction from the huge volumes of generated data at the edge of the network and which support unprecedented levels of resource dynamicity and scalability across the compute continuum.
Novel approaches are needed to support distributed machine learning and decision-making by providing the right balance between centralized and decentralized solutions to maximize the energy efficiency, resilience and effectiveness of the system while increasing privacy and interaction between different organizations without explicit sharing of data. In addition, proposed solutions should incorporate tools and mechanisms enabling the optimisation of energy efficiency and ecological sustainability taking into account end-to- end data processing across the continuum. Interoperability approaches should be considered where appropriate.
International cooperation is encouraged, especially with Japan and S. Korea.
