Following the trend for the provision of applications over programmable resources distributed across the computing continuum, in this manuscript, we detail a novel meta-orchestration approach for management of such applications. Two main challenges are considered.

Transparency, collaboration, security, and digital sovereignty are the open source values that are also important to many European countries and institutions.

This paper presents ICOS, a meta-operating system designed for the cloud continuum.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum (IECC), effective management of computational tasks offloaded from mobile devices to edge nodes is crucial.

The term ‘Dynamic Heterogeneous Computing Sphere’ is used to describe a computing paradigm that is heterogeneous, volatile and highly dynamic.

As the global population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, the agricultural sector faces the challenge of achieving an increase of 60% in food production without using much more land.
