Descrizione del progetto
Gettare le fondamenta per il futuro del cloud, dell’edge computing e dell’Internet delle cose
Il cloud computing e l’Internet delle cose (IoT, Internet of Things) hanno influenzato quasi tutti i settori e il nostro modo di vivere. Infatti, gran parte delle organizzazioni e dei paesi si stanno adoperando per ampliare la digitalizzazione e incorporare tali tecnologie per una facilità d’uso, nonché una migliore logistica e connettività. L’UE sta sostenendo attivamente numerose iniziative per l’integrazione di queste tecnologie, aprendo la strada alla digitalizzazione. In questo contesto, il progetto OpenContinuum, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di coadiuvare gli sforzi europei sviluppando un ecosistema aperto integrato incentrato su standard aperti, open source, cloud computing e Internet delle cose. Il progetto intende fornire l’approvvigionamento necessario affinché i settori del cloud, dell’edge computing e dell’IoT continuino a svilupparsi, espandersi e migliorare.
Obiettivo
OpenContinuum addresses the coordination and support of the Cloud-Edge-IoT domain, with a specific thematic focus on the supply-side of the computing continuum landscape.
An integrated, open ecosystem built around Open Source, Open Standards, and the effective blending of the two vibrant European communities of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is the key enabler for European prosperity in the Cloud-Edge-IoT domain and more widely in the data economy. Therefore the core ambition of OpenContinuum is fostering European strategic autonomy and interoperability through an open ecosystem for the computing continuum. Such an ecosystem will contain the research and innovation projects in the Cloud-Edge-IoT portfolio to be coordinated, the diverse community evolved from the current Cloud and IoT ones, with the addition of further actors, initiatives, and alliances of significance. The supply-side nature of OpenContinuum's agenda will orient the themes and focus of the project activities, but will not limit the scope of the community building. The active landscaping and engagement work of the project will be key to bring the Cloud and IoT communities together and to express all points of view with a common language and understanding. OpenContinuum will then provide strong guidance and support to European computing continuum actors to contribute to and lead open-source projects and standardisation efforts.
Key project contributions to the relevant expected outcomes include: a baseline common open architecture for computing continuum research projects, reinforced collaboration between European public and private initiatives from Cloud to edge to IoT, and increased awareness on the importance of Open Source and standards for EU digital autonomy. These contributions, arising from project results, will evolve further towards larger-scale impacts and strategic objectives for European technological, economic, and societal advancement.
