6GSoft: Software for Edge-to-Cloud Continuum
This addresses software engineering challenges for edge environments in 6G networks, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing theories and practices.
The project tackles the complexity of software development and management for 6G edge-to-cloud continuum computing by developing sustainable methods and energy-efficient orchestration models, aiming to enhance performance and scalability of edge networks through AI-driven architectural support.
In the era of 6G, developing and managing software requires cutting-edge software engineering (SE) theories and practices tailored for such complexity across a vast number of connected edge devices. Our project aims to lead the development of sustainable methods and energy-efficient orchestration models specifically for edge environments, enhancing architectural support driven by AI for contemporary edge-to-cloud continuum computing. This initiative seeks to position Finland at the forefront of the 6G landscape, focusing on sophisticated edge orchestration and robust software architectures to optimize the performance and scalability of edge networks. Collaborating with leading Finnish universities and companies, the project emphasizes deep industry-academia collaboration and international expertise to address critical challenges in edge orchestration and software architecture, aiming to drive significant advancements in software productivity and market impact.
