Project description
Privacy-preserving and innovative edge-cloud management framework
The overall aim of the EU-funded CODECO project is to contribute to smoother and more flexible support of services across the edge-cloud continuum via the creation of a novel, cognitive edge-cloud management framework. CODECO will implement software toolkits suitable for smarter management of highly distributed environments based on heterogeneous networks and integrating mobile, resource-constrained devices. The CODECO components shall extend management and orchestration of edge-cloud services with cognitive cross-layer adaptability and features that allow for intelligent decisions about computational offloading and network adaptation. At the same time, the project will take into consideration application and networking requirements, data security and sensitivity, as well as other context-specific aspects related to the data flow as they emerge.
Objective
CODECO is a cognitive, cross-layer and highly adaptive Edge-Cloud management framework with a unique orchestration approach that provides support for data management and governance decentralised data workflow; dynamic offloading of computation and computation status; and adaptive networking services (TRL5). In the core of the CODECO framework are privacy preserving decentralised learning mechanisms to i) reduce latency and power consumption from the far Edge to Cloud; ii) adjust the computation in real-time to available Edge-Cloud constraints; iii) adjust running services into the needs of the application, the data sources, the surrounding context; iv) benefit from a flexible networking infrastructure that adapts to the needs of active services; and v) democratize the technology to a faster market adoption of the toolkit, as well as products and services derived from it.
CODECO proposes the following assets: i) A1: Open, cognitive toolkits and smart Apps, integrating the elastic and advanced concepts to manage, in a smart and flexible way, containerized applications across Edge and Cloud (dynamic cluster and multi-cluster environment; ii) A2: A developer-oriented open-source software repository, to be available in an early stage of the project, thus allowing for early exploitation of initial, advanced results and a better adaptation throughout the project lifetime; iii) A3: Training tools, to support the development of services based on the CODECO framework; iv) A4: Use-cases across 4 domains (Smart Cities, Energy, Manufacturing, Smar Buildings), as the basis for experimentation and demonstrations; v) A5: a Research and Innovation community engagement programme, based on the different use-cases and including the different CODECO stakeholders; vi) A6: CODECO integration into the large-scale EdgeNet , experimental infrastructure, to assist in the building of experimentation and novel concepts by the research community.
