INTELLIGENT SERVICE, RESOURCE AND DATA MANAGEMENT PLATFORM FOR OPTIMIZED AI WORKLOADS ACROSS THE MULTI-PROVIDER COGNITIVE COMPUTING CONTINUUM

Objective

The 3C4AI project will deliver an integrated, standards-driven platform to enable trustworthy, efficient deployment and operation of distributed AI services across the cloud–edge–HPC continuum. Its objectives are to (1) provide a unified orchestration layer for multi-domain AI workload lifecycle management, (2) enable federated multi-operator service orchestration via standard East–West APIs, (3) deploy cognitive automation engines for real-time multi-objective optimisation, (4) implement a distributed data orchestration framework with a federated data catalog and policy-compliant sharing, (5) offer GenAI-based intent management to translate business intents into executable service plans, (6) expose a software-defined hardware abstraction layer for hardware-aware placement, (7) establish decentralized trust and governance using a secure integration fabric and smart contracts, and (8) supply validated AI service blueprints and performance models for rapid, predictable uptake.

These objectives will be achieved by combining modular open interfaces, model-driven automation, federated data governance, hardware-aware runtimes, and cross-domain pilots with industrial and public-sector operators to validate scalability, SLA, energy and trust metrics. A rigorous evaluation and benchmarking program will quantify impact on interoperability, operational cost, latency and compliance.

3C4AI directly responds to the HORIZON-CL4-2025-04-DATA-02 call by advancing interoperable, secure and trustworthy data and service orchestration mechanisms that enable cross-operator AI services and sovereign data flows in line with the work programme goals.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
