Project description DEENESFRITPL Distributed processing over cognitive, self-adaptive networks Despite the benefits of hosting data on the cloud, ever-increasing centralised data demands push network capacity to its limits. The EU-funded COGNIFOG project seeks to build a cognitive fog framework to tackle this challenge. By analysing data at the periphery of the network, closer to the data source or computing devices, network traffic will be reduced, thereby leading to more energy-efficient IT systems with lower latency. Moreover, operating expenses will be reduced by developing a (semi-)autonomous self-adaptive framework to handle processing, network and storage across the data spectrum (i.e. from far edge to the centralised cloud). Finally, COGNIFOG will create a framework for developers to exploit the new benefits and help ensure Europe’s leadership in the field. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Next generation enablers, such as IoT, AI and cloud computing, open new opportunities to deal with world’s current and future societal, environmental, and economic challenges. However, they come with significant data management challenges. According to IDC, the total amount of data generated only by connected devices will exceed 40 trillion gigabytes by 2025. In most of the current systems, data storage and analysis happen on centralized locations on the cloud. This is pushing network capacity to its limits. Furthermore, centralized storage and processing lead to single point of failure situations, which are critically inefficient in case of disasters and crisis. Our world is continuously living natural disasters, health crisis, climate change and security threats that show the importance of resilient and energy-efficient information systems. COGNIFOG targets those challenges and proposes to build a Cognitive Fog Framework to: (i) reduce energy consumption and latency in next generation IT systems by reducing the network traffic, by analysing data at the edge in a distributed manner, closer to where they are generated, rather than routing them through the communication networks to a data center; (ii) reduce OPEX and faster service provisioning by providing a cognitive, self-adaptive framework with minimum or no human intervention, with dynamic provisioning of computing, storage and networking resources along the far-edge-to-edge-to-cloud path; (iii) ensure European leadership by providing an open interoperable framework with open APIs for application developers to rapidly create and deploy applications benefiting the edge-cloud continuum on top of heterogenous IoT/IT systems. COGNIFOG will validate project results in three representative application domains: critical collaboration missions, smart health and smart industry. With a consortium of 12 European partners, leaders in their domains, COGNIFOG will be a cornerstone in the cognitive fog computing domain Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternetinternet of thingsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencescomputer securitydata protectionnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternettransport layernatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware development Keywords Artificial Intelligence Intelligent Systems Information Security Cloud-Edge Continuum Service Orchestration Programme(s) HORIZON.2.4 - Digital, Industry and Space Main Programme HORIZON.2.4.7 - Advanced Computing and Big Data Topic(s) HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-02 - Cognitive Cloud: AI-enabled computing continuum from Cloud to Edge (RIA) Call for proposal HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES Net EU contribution € 999 875,00 Address Rue leblanc 25 75015 Paris France See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (9) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all ATOS IT SOLUTIONS AND SERVICES IBERIA SL Spain Net EU contribution € 368 750,00 Address Ronda de europa 5 28760 Tres cantos madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 EBOS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Cyprus Net EU contribution € 462 500,00 Address Arch. makariou iii and mesaorias 1 office 101 2322 Nicosia See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
