Swarm Workshop: Programming tools for decentralised intelligence and swarms
November 26 - November 27
Swarm Intelligence Projects, of the HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-03 cluster, address emerging challenges in decentralised intelligence and swarm-based systems for dynamic, edge-capable IoT environments. They focus on novel abstraction models, cyber-physical systems (CPS), and next-generation IoT, leveraging advanced communication paradigms, lightweight AI/ML, and neuromorphic computing.
The aim is to enable IoT nodes to self-organize, adapt to changing environments, scale efficiently, and ensure system resilience. These technologies support swarm applications by embedding AI/ML, facilitating collaboration among devices, and transforming sectors like smart energy, mobility, agriculture, health, automotive, and smart cities.
Swarm computing is key in a computing continuum, ensuring efficient, secure data management—especially relevant for trends like the Metaverse. Processing data closer to the source reduces latency, improves privacy, and cuts energy, storage, and communication costs.
Europe’s growing swarm computing community is vital for achieving digital sovereignty and building an open, inclusive digital society. Collaboration across diverse research and innovation communities is essential to avoid fragmentation and realize this vision.
The event is organised by TaRDIS, OASEES, P2CODE, SmartEdge, and OpenSwarm projects funded by the European Commission under the HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-03 call.
