In order to give targeted applications access to computational, storage, or network services, HYPER-AI +implements the idea of computing swarms as autonomous, self-organized, and opportunistic networks of smart nodes. These +networks may offer a diverse and heterogeneous set of resources processing, storage, data, communication) at all levels and have the +ability to dynamically connect, interact, and cooperate. + +HYPER-AI proposes semantic representation concepts to enable heterogeneous resources’ abstraction in a homogeneous way, under +a common annotation (computing node), across the whole range of network infrastructures. The main orchestration and control +concept of HYPER-AI is inspired by autonomic systems (self-CHOP principles) which employ swarmed computing schemes. Its +objective is to make smart multi-node (swarm) deployment scenario design, execution, and monitoring easier, through appropriate +AIs for self-configuration (nodes assigned resources), self-healing (swarmed nodes lifecycle), self-optimizing (exploiting built-in +situation awareness mechanisms) and self-protecting (intrusion detection, privacy, security, encryption and identity management) at +application runtime. In order to support dynamic and data-driven application workflows, HYPER-AI suggests the flexible integration of +resources at the edge, the core cloud, and along the big data processing and communication channel, enabling their energy, time +and cost-efficient execution. Finally, distributed ledger concepts for security, privacy, and encryption as well as AI-based intrusion +detection are also considered. + + +This project is running from April 2024 - March 2027. + +--- + +## Consortium +* ETHNIKO KENTRO EREVNAS KAI TECHNOLOGIKIS ANAPTY (Coordinator) - Greece +* TELEFONICA INVESTIGACION Y DESARROLLO SA - Spain +* ECLIPSE FOUNDATION EUROPE GMBH - Germany +* ETHNIKO KAI KAPODISTRIAKO PANEPISTIMIO ATHINON - Greece +* VIRTUAL VEHICLE RESEARCH GMBH - Austria +* ODIN SOLUTIONS SOCIEDAD LIMITADA - Spain +* SABO SA - Greece +* TRUST-IT SRL - Italy +* COMMPLA SRL (Affiliated) - Italy +* TECHNOLOGIKO PANEPISTIMIO KYPROU - Cyprus +* EBOS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED - Cyprus +* AGENZIA NAZIONALE PER LE NUOVE TECNOLOGIE- Italy +* CSEM CENTRE SUISSE D'ELECTRONIQUE ET DE MICROTECH (Associated) - Switzerland +* HAUTE ECOLE SPECIALISEE DE SUISSE OCCIDENTALE (Associated) - Switzerland +* SUNDOSOFT LTD (Associated) - Korea diff --git a/content/research/projects/nous.md b/content/research/projects/nous.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fa8383ab222d8d5019e4a3cebe7fa7ad63ce8ae4 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/research/projects/nous.md @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +--- +title: "NOUS" +date: 2024-01-01T00:00:00-00:00 +project_logo: "/research/images/research/r-projects/nous.png" +tags: ["Data curation", "Linked open data", "Cloud architecture & services", "HPC", "Quantum computing", "Edge computing", "Distributed/Federated concepts", "AI", "ML", +"Blockchain", "Data management", "Data Spaces", "sharing", "life cycle & economy", "Cybersecurity"] +homepage: "https://nous-project.eu/" +facebook: "" +linkedin: "https://www.linkedin.com/company/nous-eu/" +twitter: "https://twitter.com/nous_project" +youtube: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCls7_vS0APC7TKnypvz3KHA" +funding_bodies: ["horizonEU"] +eclipse_projects: [] +project_topic: "Cloud-Edge, Data Spaces" +summary: "Empowering Europe\\'s Data Future" +--- + +stands for: "a catalyst for EuropeaN ClOUd Services in the era of data spaces, high-performance and edge computing" + +NOUS will develop the architecture of a European Cloud Service that allows computational and data storage resources to be used +from edge devices as well as supercomputers, through the HPC network, and Quantum Computers. NOUS will be an Infrastructure-as- +a-Service (IaaS)/Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud provider, harnessing edge computing and decentralisation paradigms to +incorporate a wide array of devices and machines in its computational flow to provide leaps in Europe’s capability to process vast +amounts of data. + +The pipeline of the NOUS in the project will include three types of components: i) computational components that are responsible for +executing computations, ii) edge components that are responsible for communicating with edge devices (such as IoT sensors/ +actuators/ devices), iii) data storage components that are responsible for data storage and storage management. Components are +researched individually, expecting to yield breakthroughs, and jointly, to create the architecture and cloud-level services such as +syndication with other platforms and virtual labs. The project has defined 4 use-cases that will allow the testing of the developed +technologies in real-world scenarios that industry leaders face. + +The NOUS architecture will be made open source to allow the capitalisation by companies and organisations.
