Project Scope
Digital transformation is ongoing in many areas of today’s society, which impacts many aspects of people’s lives via means such as smart cities, robotic, transportation, and next-generation industries. At the same time, the current centralized cloud infrastructure is not adequate to serve the transformation’s requirements. The consortium believed that three technologies could come together to shape a new secure service and application platform; 5G, edge-centric compute & artificial intelligence. In that context, European industry has a good position in 5G networks, transportation and industrial applications, but needed to strengthen the position in a secure cloud, data centre and artificial intelligence technologies to be at the front of the development.
The primary objective of the ANIARA project was to provide enablers and solutions for high-performance services deployed and operated at the network edge. To manage complexity, it was needed to take advantage of artificial intelligence to complement traditional optimisation algorithms. At the time, deep edge network nodes would have to be deployed at locations not prepared for the power requirements of edge-centric compute. To answer that, it was needed to analyse requirements and develop methods to minimize energy consumption.
