Bruxelles, 5th September 2024 – Several members of The EUCloudEdgeIoT community met today for a workshop organised by the European Commission to discuss results of the Swarm Intelligence cluster of projects, namely INCODE, TaRDIS, OASEES, OpenSwarm and SMARTEDGE.
The workshop takes stock of the progress of the swarms technologies and discusses the horizontal aspects of the cluster as well as related strategic visions and work of other clusters.
The workshop brought together research project representatives, experts and stakeholders to discuss the results of the ongoing synergistic efforts in the EUCloudEdgeIoT initiative (EUCEI) and delineate future directions of the computing continuum as well as priority actions for the actors involved.
Participants of the workshop include the Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) UNLOCK-CEI, Nexusforum, HiPEAC and Discover US, European Commission representatives, coordinators all five swarms projects, representatives of the MetaOS and other related projects and project review experts.
