FLUIDOS will leverage the enormous, unused processing capacity at the edge, scattered across heterogeneous edge devices that struggle to integrate with each other and to form a seamless computing continuum coherently.

FLUIDOS will (i) fluidify the edge and unify it with the cloud through a borderless, decentralised continuum leveraging automatic, autonomous resource discovery and integration (ii) orchestrate services and hyper-distributed applications in a continuous, automated fashion over multiple devices and domains, leveraging energy-efficient AI learning algorithms and training for mobility/behaviour prediction and traffic forecasting, (iii) Introduce a Zero Trust paradigm aimed at securing the access of geographically scattered resources in an authenticated, authorised manner.

ISCA group contributes to FLUIDOS at the Edge by extending cloud infrastructure to create a continuum to the edge, managing and deploying applications seamlessly across both cloud and edge environments. FLUIDOS architecture at the Edge, as figure next shows, consists of several components that work together to enable the deployment and management of containerized applications on edge devices, as well as the sharing and grouping of IoT resources among these applications.
