CODECO: Supporting the Edge-Cloud Continuum Via an Open, Cognitive, Decentralized Framework
Through the Eclipse Foundation newsletter (check here), we’re excited to showcase how CODECO is driving innovation in the Edge-Cloud continuum, bringing you a closer look at our project’s dynamic role. Our open cognitive decentralized framework is designed to revolutionize data processing, offering new opportunities and pathways for the digital landscape.
CODECO is pushing the boundaries of technology, leveraging AI, IoT, and Cloud resources to create a seamless data processing environment that addresses the existing infrastructure by considering data, compute, and network resources.
CODECO develops an ecosystem consisting of open-source toolkits, large-scale experimentation, training tools and events, use-cases across four vertical domains (Smart Cities, Energy, Manufacturing, Smart Buildings) and multiple events integrated into a unique Innovation and Research Community Engagement Programme. The open-source software, which is pluggable and interoperable with Kubernetes (K8s) will be made available to the community through the Eclipse Foundation.
CODECO will implement software toolkits suitable for smarter management of highly-distributed environments based on heterogeneous networks and by integrating mobile, resource-constrained devices. The CODECO components will extend the management and orchestration of edge-cloud services with cognitive cross-layer adaptability, intelligent offloading, and networking decisions, prioritizing data security, application needs, and context-specific factors.
The CODECO key technological blocks shall be explored via the use of multiple use-cases which will serve as a basis for experimentation and demonstrations. CODECO will support the development of six use-cases across four different European competitiveness markets: smart cities, energy, manufacturing and smart buildings.
Are you ready to be part of the transformation in Edge-Cloud convergence? Join us on our exciting journey by getting involved in the CODECO project.
