Clean air is a requirement for life, and the quality of indoor air is a health determinant since people spend most of their daily time indoors.

Accelerators are essential for achieving optimal performance and energy efficiency in computing. However, market segmentation often leads to language lock-ins, limiting flexibility across accelerators and increasing development costs.

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.

The SecureCyber Cluster Europe is a group of European Union-funded cybersecurity projects that collaborate to address cybersecurity challenges in various domains, including Internet of Things (IoT), smart grids, and more.

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.

This perspective paper introduces a novel framework for container orchestration called CODECO.

Self-Sovereign Identity can be considered as the most significant paradigm shift, surpassing the more established centralised and federated approaches that have shaped identity management in the past decades.

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.
