ICOS – Towards a functional continuum operating system

Flag_2colors.eps

Project funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe framework programme under contract No. 101070177.

Acronym: ICOS

Type: R&D

Grant: EUR 300 625

Total value: EUR 10 997 675 (including EUR 300 625 for Łukasiewicz - PIT)

Start date: 01.09.2022

Project completion date: 30.07.2026

Project objectives:

Design, develop and validate a meta operating system for the continuum by addressing the challenges of:

  • device variability and heterogeneity, virtualisation of the continuum infrastructure and diverse network connectivity;
  • optimised and scalable service execution and performance, as well as resource consumption, including energy consumption;
  • guaranteed trust, security and privacy, and;
  • reduced integration costs and effective mitigation of cloud provider dependency in a data-driven system built on the principles of openness, adaptability, data sharing and a future edge market scenario for services and data.

As part of the project, Lukasiewicz – PIT is developing validation of the system and prepared functions using an autonomous robotic platform for field cultivation (UC1) and testing the platform under real operational conditions.
