A LIGHTWEIGHT SOFTWARE STACK AND SYNERGETIC META-ORCHESTRATION FRAMEWORK FOR THE NEXT GENERATION COMPUTE CONTINUUM

Projektbeschreibung

Software und Orchestrierungsrahmen für das Computerkontinuum

Die nächste Generation von IoT- und Edge-Computing-Technologien erlebt rasante Fortschritte. Diese Entwicklung verläuft parallel zur Zunahme der Heterogenität der IoT-Technologien. Um hyperverteilte Anwendungen über heterogene Infrastrukturen im Kontinuum Cloud-zu-Edge-zu-IoT effizient zu verwalten, müssen IoT-Technologien konvergieren und synergetische Orchestrierungsmechanismen entwickelt werden. NEPHELE zielt darauf ab, diese Herausforderungen zu bewältigen und eine effiziente, zuverlässige und sichere Ende-zu-Ende-Orchestrierung hyperverteilter Anwendungen über eine programmierbare Infrastruktur im gesamten Rechenkontinuum zu gestatten, wobei die Integration von IoT-Geräten in den übrigen Teil der Infrastruktur berücksichtigt wird. Es werden einige Anwendungsfälle in verschiedenen vertikalen Branchen betrachtet, darunter Katastrophenmanagement, Hafenlogistik, Energiemanagement in intelligenten Gebäuden und Gesundheitsdienste aus der Ferne.

Ziel

The vision of NEPHELE is to enable the efficient, reliable and secure end-to-end orchestration of hyper-distributed applications over programmable infrastructure that is spanning across the compute continuum from Cloud-to-Edge-to-IoT, removing existing openness and interoperability barriers in the convergence of IoT technologies against cloud and edge computing orchestration platforms, and introducing automation and decentralized intelligence mechanisms powered by 5G and distributed AI technologies.
The NEPHELE project aims to introduce two core innovations, namely:
(i) an IoT and edge computing software stack for leveraging virtualization of IoT devices at the edge part of the infrastructure and supporting openness and interoperability aspects in a device-independent way. Through this software stack, management of a wide range of IoT devices and platforms can be realised in a unified way, avoiding the usage of middleware platforms, while edge computing functionalities can be offered on demand to efficiently support IoT applications’ operations.
(ii) a synergetic meta-orchestration framework for managing the coordination between cloud and edge computing orchestration platforms, through high-level scheduling supervision and definition, based on the adoption of a “system of systems” approach.
The NEPHELE outcomes are going to be demonstrated, validated and evaluated in a set of use cases across various vertical industries, including areas such as disaster management, logistic operations in ports, energy management in smart buildings and remote healthcare services. Two successive open calls will also take place, while a wide open-source community is envisaged to be created for supporting the NEPHELE outcomes.
