NebulOuS

A meta operating system for brokering hyperdistributed applications on cloud computing continuums

The NebulOus project has the objective to transparently manage all the layers of the cloud continuum stack, in an equivalent manner to an Operating System, managing the available computing capacity to facilitate an adaptive application hosting environment, driven by the processing proximity to data sources and optimised based on the data involved, the defined quality of service (QoS) requirements and the regulatory, security or privacy constraints.

Therefore, NebulOus will develop a novel Meta Operating System and platform for enabling transient fog brokerage ecosystems that seamlessly exploit edge and fog nodes, in conjunction with multi-cloud resources, to cope with the requirements posed by low latency applications.

NebulOus will accomplish substantial research contributions in the realms of cloud and fog computing brokerage by introducing advanced methods and tools for enabling secure and optimal application provisioning and reconfiguration over the cloud computing continuum.

Ubiwhere will be responsible for orchestration between components and for the 1st Pilot Demonstrator - Windmill Maintenance and City Vision for City Maintenance.

This project has received funding from the EU’s Horizon Europe Programme under grant agreement no 101070516
