FLUIDOS Project: Efficient and secure Edge Computing
The FLUIDS project aims to harness the enormous unused processing power at the edge, scattered in heterogeneous edge devices that struggle to integrate with each other and coherently form a seamless computing continuum.
To this end, FLUIDOS will create a seamless, dynamic, scalable and reliable computing continuum. FLUIDS will build on consolidated operating systems and orchestration solutions such as Kubernetes, on top of which it will provide a new and enriched layer that will enact resource sharing through advertising/agreement procedures (in the horizontal dimension) and hierarchical node aggregation, inspired by inter-domain routing on the Internet (in the vertical dimension).
Intent-based orchestration will leverage advanced AI algorithms to optimize costs and energy usage in the continuum, promoting efficient use of edge resources. A zero trust paradigm will enable FLUIDS to securely control and access geographically diverse resources, while trusted platform modules will provide strong isolation and ensure secure deployment of applications and services.
