Semantic Low-code Programming Tools for Edge Intelligence

SmartEdge项目的目标是在运行时实现分散边缘智能的动态集成，同时确保可靠性、安全性、保密性和可扩展性。我们将通过跨层工具链实现此类系统的边缘设备基于语义的交互，从而促进自主智能群的无缝和实时可发现和可组合。因此，通过使用无处不在的低延迟连接，跨不同的传感器、设备和边缘分布处理、数据融合和控制，可以自由构建应用程序。该项目的目标是开发一个具有低码工具编程环境的SmartEdge解决方案，其中包含各种工具：(1)持续语义集成(CSI)；(2)动态群体网络(DSW)；以及(3)边缘智能的低码工具链。CSI允许SmartEdge解决方案根据(I)标准化的语义接口与设备交互，通过(Ii)基于声明性映射并可从边缘扩展到云的连续转换过程，以及(Iii)为基于群智能的应用程序的创建和协调提供声明性方法。DSW提供(I)近乎实时的自动发现和动态网络群形成，(Ii)用于上下文感知的群联网的硬件加速的网内操作，以及(Iii)嵌入式网络安全。该低代码工具链提供(I)用于Edge设备的语义驱动的多模式流融合；(Ii)通过Edge-Cloud交互的群体弹性；(Iii)自适应协调和优化；(Iv)用于Device-Edge-Cloud连续体的跨层工具链。SmartEdge解决方案将通过戴尔、西门子、博世、IMC、Conveq、Cefiel和NVIDIA等八家工业合作伙伴与八家研究机构的强大合作，在四个应用领域全面展示：汽车、城市、工厂和健康。

The objective of the SMARTEDGE project is to enable the dynamic integration of decentralised edge intelligence at runtime while ensuring reliability, security, privacy and scalability. We will achieve this by enabling a semantic-based interplay of the edge devices of such systems via a cross-layer toolchain that facilitates the seamless and real-time discoverability and composability of autonomous intelligence swarm. Hence, an application can be freely built by distributing the processing, data fusion and control across heterogeneous sensors, devices and edges with ubiquitous low-latency connectivity. The goal of this project is to develop a SMARTEDGE solution with a low-code tool programming environment with various tools: (1) Continuous Semantic Integration (CSI); (2) Dynamic Swarm Network (DSW); and (3) Low-code Toolchain for Edge Intelligence. CSI allows the SMARTEDGE solution to interact with devices according to a (i) standardized semantic interface, via a (ii) continuous conversion process based on declarative mappings and scalable from edge to cloud, and (iii) providing a declarative approach for the creation and orchestration of apps based on swarm intelligence. DSW provides (i) automatic discovery and dynamic network swarm formation in near real time, (ii) hardware-accelerated in-network operations for context-aware swarm networking, and (iii) embedded network security. The low-code tool chain provides (i) semantic-driven multimodal stream fusion for Edge devices; (ii) swarm elasticity via Edge-Cloud Interplay; (iii) adaptive coordination and optimization; (iv) cross-layer toolchain for Device-Edge-Cloud Continuum. The SMARTEDGE solution will be comprehensively demonstrated over four application areas: automotive, city, factory and health via the strong collaboration of eight industrial partners, Dell, Siemens, Bosch, IMC, Conveq, Cefiel and NVIDIA with eight research institutes.
