This is the last document of a series of 3 for designing a Reference Architecture for the continuum. The first document of the series presented an initial version of a common taxonomy, considering it as a unified language for all actors of the value chain.

This is the second document of a series of three defining a reference architecture for the continuum. In the previous one, different building blocks were identified setting the path for the different aspects to be taken into account while defining the architecture.

Cloud and edge computing are essential technologies in a computing continuum to ensure data is managed more efficiently – closer to the originating source rather than transmitting raw data to data centres. As recent studies suggest, data processing is moving closer to the edge.

Data scientists spend much time with data cleaning tasks, and this is especially important when dealing with data gathered from sensors, as finding failures is not unusual (there is an abundance of research on anomaly detection in sensor data).

16th International Conference on Open Source Systems

In the field of plant disease protection, many approaches exist, but all acknowledge the necessity of fast and accurate identification of the source in order to make the most efficient applications.

In general, one of the complexities of large simulations is related to the usage of the heterogeneous computational resources that are needed to execute them. The definition of workflows, usually linked to concrete orchestrations solutions, has reduced most of that complexity.

2nd Global IoT Summit: IoT Technologies and Applications for the Benefit of Society

Accurate digital twinning of the global challenges (GC) leads to computationally expensive coupled simulations.
