Scope:The Cloud-Edge Continuum must provide seamless management schemes to allow services and data to be processed across various providers, connectivity types and network zones. This 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.
It involves hyper-distributed computing approaches encompassing resources from IoT and far-edge constrained devices, to federated fog/edge computing nodes to central cloud computing centres and hybrid cloud models which exploit Artificial Intelligence techniques to advance automation and dynamic adaptation of resource management in Cloud and Edge systems, and thus intelligently balance computing tasks across decentral and central computing environments to optimize resources and quality of service.
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. 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.
Concept should cater for novel automated management tools, programming models, learning and decision-making methods, and approaches able to cope with end-to-end security and identity management, resources heterogeneity, extreme scale and fault-tolerance together with elasticity to flexibly allocate resources and tasks. For learning, methods need to be able to deliver a solution to (continuous) federated learning from data distributed over the edge and in the network. For security and identity management, proposals are expected to apply state-of-the-art technologies, develop synergies and relate to activities and outcomes in Cluster 3 (namely, HORIZON-CL3-2023-CS-01-01: Secure Computing Continuum (IoT, Edge, Cloud, Dataspaces) and HORIZON-CL3-2023-CS-01-02: Privacy-preserving and identity management technologies).
Resource heterogeneity should consider the diversity of devices equipped with storage and processing capacities at the Edge and their specific characteristics (e.g., resource‐constrained devices), but also the increasingly available variety of processor architectures for these devices, including where possible, emerging open solutions (e.g. RISC-V).
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 (based on open standards, interoperability models and open platforms) should be considered where appropriate.
Projects are expected to develop synergies and relate to activities and outcomes of the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) and any existing or emerging Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) initiative.
