Technology scoping paper

This deliverable is part of the UNLOCK-CEI project Work Package 4: Tech Developer Engagement, specifically Task 4.1: Portfolio supply coordination. The deliverable aims to provide an overview of the European Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum initiative and the project portfolio of Meta-Operating Systems for the Next Generation IoT and Edge Computing Cluster. To provide context for future development, this publication analyses existing technologies and previous initiatives that serve as a base for the EUCEI initiative.

Outlining the framework for CEI (Cloud-Edge-IoT) , technologies’ categories addressing the main challenges and solutions will be presented. The sectorial and market challenges are the basis for market needs which will be used throughout the UNLOCK-CEI project. Lastly, Understanding the current project cluster is the first essential step towards connecting the supply and demand sides of the continuum and market-ready technology developments which will benefit the ecosystem. The deliverable provides a table of use cases from the project portfolio to show the possible solutions to industry-related challenges

Overall, the deliverable is the starting point of creating the interface between demand and supply actors and successfully delivering valued projects.
