Cognitive Cloud: AI-enabled computing continuum from Cloud to Edge (RIA)

Summary

Highly innovation cloud management layer, makes the best application of artificial intelligence techniques and AI models with automatic adaptation to the computing resources (i.e., connectivity, computing & storage) in cloud and edge to optimize where data are being processed (e.g. very close to the user at the edge, or in centralised capacities in the cloud).

Detailed Call Description

Seamless, transparent and trustworthy integration of diverse computing and data environments spanning from core cloud to edge, in an AI-enabled computing continuum. Automatic adaptation to the growing complexity of requirements and the exponential increase of data driven by IoT deployment across sectors, users and contexts while achieving optimal use of resources, holistic security and data privacy and credibility. Interoperability challenges among computing and data platform providers should be addressed and cloud federation approaches (based on open standards, interoperability models and open platforms) should be considered where appropriate.
