Swarms projects workshop - Strategic vision report

Members of the EUCloudEdgeIoT community met on 5th September 2024 in Brussels for a workshop organised by the European Commission. It was to discuss intermediate results of the projects of the Swarm Intelligence cluster and beyond.

The workshop took stock of the progress of the swarms technologies and discussed the horizontal aspects of the cluster such as architectures, standardisation and interoperability, platform building, open source, market insights, communications and dissemination. In the same time, it focused on the priority sectors such as energy, mobility/transport logistics and industrial/manufacturing.

The workshop brought together research project representatives, experts and stakeholders to discuss the results of the ongoing synergistic efforts in the EUCloudEdgeIoT initiative (EUCEI) and delineate future directions of the computing continuum as well as priority actions for the actors involved. Participants of the workshop included the Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) UNLOCK-CEI, Nexusforum, HiPEAC and Discover US, European Commission representatives, coordinators all five swarms projects, representatives of the MetaOS and other related projects and project review experts.
