Nowadays, to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, a seamless convergence between the different cloud domains (edge, edge and cloud) is key for industries to have a cloud-native intelligent orchestration layer capable of establishing the necessary mechanisms to ensure continuity of services as data m

In industrial environments, cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT) converge, with the need to manage complex and diverse computing environments for service and infrastructure providers, a process called cloud continuum.

The CROSSCON is a research project that targets developing research ideas into practical techniques and supporting prototypes, and the level of ambition is to validate results in lab conditions that are representative of a complex IoT system (i.e., technology readiness levels TRL 4 and TRL5).

EU-funded researchers have developed a cloud-based platform to reduce energy use in buildings and battery energy storage systems to benefit end users and utility providers.
