ExpectedOutcome:
Proposal results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes:
- Support structure for the European Computing ecosystem: networking events and vision workshops for the academic and industrial computing community.
- Yearly updated roadmaps on the computing continuum addressing the area from a broad perspective from edge device to edge cloud to cloud to HPC, from scientific to industrial to societal and research applications, and addressing all relevant aspects such as real-time, security, etc. Developments should complement the Industrial Roadmap from the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud by offering a long-term research perspective which enables disruptive innovations.
- Creation of a sustainable European forum of stakeholders representing the whole Cloud to Edge to IoT Computing research, industry and users from different domains/sectors.
Scope:
- To support the European Commission and the European computing constituency by providing to them annually updated roadmaps for research and innovation.
- To seek collaboration with other relevant initiatives in the field, such as those related to the Important Project of Common European Interest on Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI CIS) and the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud.
- To facilitate awareness of stakeholders in research and policy matters related to Cloud-Edge-IoT Computing continuum.
- To coordinate stakeholders in the Cloud to Edge to IoT Computing Continuum and act as support to R&D programmes/activities by disseminating project results and organising scientific and policy events, and addressing pre-standardisation initiatives.
International cooperation is encouraged, especially with Japan and South Korea.
