The project will deliver common virtualised services to enable orchestration, virtual communication (network-related programmable functions), and efficient support for frugal, explainable AI and creation of distributed data-driven applications. aerOS will be based on continuum infrastructure elements like smart devices, tiny/far/near edge computing nodes, and public/private clouds (including virtual services and NetApps), providing scalable and secure access to applications and services while keeping its data autonomy. The solution will be generic and directly applicable to any vertical, cross-vertical business process, and several different physical or virtual platforms.
