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、隐私性和可扩展性。我们将通过跨层工具链实现这些系统边缘设备基于语义的相互作用，从而促进自主智能群的无缝和实时可发现性和可组合性。因此，通过在异构传感器、设备和边缘上分布处理、数据融合和控制，通过无处不在的低延迟连接，可以自由构建应用程序。这个项目的目标是开发一个SMARTEDGE解决方案与低代码工具编程环境与各种工具：(1)持续语义集成（CSI）；(2)动态群网络（DSW）；(3)面向边缘智能的低码工具链。CSI允许SMARTEDGE解决方案根据(i)标准化语义接口与设备进行交互，通过（ii）基于声明性映射的连续转换过程，并可从边缘扩展到云，以及（iii）为基于群体智能的应用程序的创建和编排提供声明性方法。DSW提供(i)近乎实时的自动发现和动态网络群形成，（ii）硬件加速的网络内操作，用于上下文感知的群网络，以及（iii）嵌入式网络安全。低代码工具链为Edge设备提供(i)语义驱动的多模态流融合；（ii）通过边缘-云相互作用实现群体弹性；（iii）适应性协调和优化；（iv） Device-Edge-Cloud Continuum的跨层工具链。通过戴尔、西门子、博世、IMC、convq、Cefiel和NVIDIA等8家工业合作伙伴与8家研究机构的强有力合作，SMARTEDGE解决方案将在汽车、城市、工厂和健康四个应用领域进行全面展示。

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.
