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

Descrizione del progetto

Un sistema software e un quadro di orchestrazione per il calcolo continuo

La prossima generazione di tecnologie IoT e di edge computing si evolve con rapidità, parallelamente all’aumento nell’eterogeneità delle tecnologie IoT. Per gestire con efficienza le applicazioni iper-distribuite all’interno dell’infrastruttura eterogenea nel continuo dal cloud all’edge fino all’IoT, sono necessari la convergenza delle tecnologie IoT e lo sviluppo di meccanismi di orchestrazione sinergici. Il progetto NEPHELE si propone di affrontare queste sfide e permettere un’orchestrazione end-to-end efficiente, affidabile e sicura di applicazioni iper-distribuite all’interno di infrastrutture programmabili nel calcolo continuo, considerando l’integrazione di dispositivi IoT con il resto delle componenti dell’infrastruttura. Sarà considerata una serie di casi d’uso in varie industrie verticali, tra cui gestione delle catastrofi, operazioni logistiche nei porti, gestione dell’energia all’interno degli edifici intelligenti e servizi sanitari a distanza.

Obiettivo

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.
