AMBITIOUS
Advanced CoMputing Continuum Solutions for Boosting DigITalization across European RegionS
Abstract
The main objective of AMBITIOUS is to offer a fundamental technological infrastructure, capable of providing: advanced data aggregation and cleaning, analysis, AI-enabled forecasting and secure information exchange mechanisms. This will be implemented through an infrastructure of edge-cloud continuum, characterized by the fact that the service plans to use a chain of resources, from’ edge to cloud, and that the functionalities and the data are distributed along the whole chain in a logic of cooperation at various levels. This cooperation model overcomes the limits of localized management in only one segment of the network, can be integrated with existing infrastructure and with already mature services of major stakeholders (SMEs)but also generate yet unexpected features thus opening new avenues of business opportunity.
The core infrastructure will be provided through the implementation of technology pillars, which will interact with existing services to support the expected functionality.
Development of AGORA cooperation platform.
Data will be made available in a controlled way for the benefit of the cooperating applications, and also for developing new services. In short, this AGORA platform will implement a data economy management. A function dedicated to authentication authorization and accounting will manage not only the controlled access to the data but it will also be capable of accounting for the use of data and other resources from an economical point of view.
Foster the cooperation among European regions.
A variety of sectors will be targeted including safety, smart water management, precise agriculture, as well as innovative digital health and wellbeing services. Our objectives are aligned with the smart specialization priority areas of the participating regions. They are also long-term sustainable both from an ecological, social, and economical viewpoint.
