Mission and Vision:
Being recognized as a major contributor to the worldwide interoperability of AI, IoT and Edge Continuum systems and applications, in particular for the development of the market in Europe.
Scope:
Standardisation gaps, landscape, AI, IoT, edge and computing continuum, high-level architectures, digital twins and triplets, relation to 5G/6G, semantic interoperability
Objectives:
Maintaining AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum standards framework landscape
AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum Landscape maintenance to keep the liaisons and maintain dialogue on how to foster collaboration, co-creation and interworking to improve interoperability with SDOs and alliances.
AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum standardisation and impact on the Industry Digitization and on the UN SDGs and European Green Deal
Gap analysis
AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum standardisation gap analysis and recommendations.
Computing Continuum and optical communications
Provide Computing Continuum standardisation requirements on AI, IoT and Edge Continuum and describe enablers, such as optical communications, that can solve these requirements.
High-Level Architectures for AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum
Updating and maintaining of AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Continuum Reference (High Level) Architecture and its mapping with existing Reference Architectures.
Specification and promotion of architecture and interoperability patterns in domains such as data spaces, computing continuum and integration of AI (Artificial Intelligence of Things – AI in the Edge).
Specification and promotion of the AI integration in IoT and Edge continuum.
AI, IoT and Edge Continuum relation and impact on 5G/6G
Collect AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Edge Computing vertical domain use cases from e.g., EU funded projects, and determine the specific requirements they impose on the underlying 5G/6G network infrastructure.
Semantic Interoperability
Identification of gaps that hinder the adoption of semantic interoperability practices, including missing (semantic) interoperability standards, technologies, tools and educational material, within AI, IoT and Edge Continuum domains and across these domains, and recommendations for solving them. In addition, topics related to the impact of edge computing on semantic Interoperability will be considered.
Promoting the availability, findability, use and development of ontologies and semantic tools to enable semantic interoperability between different actors within AI, IoT and Edge Continuum domains and cross-domains.
Creation of a landscape of ontologies supporting users in their assessment of the quality and usability of ontologies.
