TECoSA Current Projects
Trustworthiness Assurance
Trustworthiness Assurance addresses certification of cyber-physical systems (CPS) that act in interplay with a smart digital infrastructure to accomplish new capabilities, e.g. in robotics and transportation. Novel technologies and complexity necessitate the development of new frameworks and methodologies, where multiple aspects of trustworthiness are of interest.
Industrial Edge Applications
Industrial edge applications require careful mapping of requirements to 5G and upcoming 6G networked infrastructures while offering many opportunities for optimization at run-time. This track pursues the testing and proof-of-concepts through the TECoSA 5G edge computing testbeds, and software platforms to support the evolving digital infrastructures towards 6G and AI-RAN.
Edge-AI
Edge AI relates to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with edge computing, for instance in the context of the joint operation of edge infrastructures and cyber-physical systems. Machine learning techniques are central to EdgeAI and pose substantial challenges regarding networking optimization and automation, for instance with respect to large foundational models.
Information- and feedback loops between devices and edge nodes.
About edge computing
Edge computing is a computing layer located between the devices/embedded systems and the cloud, at the “edge” of the network. Edge nodes are connected and each one can perform computations and provide storage for several devices/embedded systems, providing lower response times, relieve network capacity and enhance privacy.
Challenges involved in ensuring trustworthiness properties.
Addressing the challenges
Wide-scale adoption requires edge computing-based systems to be trustworthy. TECoSA addresses the challenges involved in ensuring predictability, safety and security, both for the edge computing infrastructure and for the applications and services served by the infrastructure.
Roadmap on Industrial IoT (IIoT)
IIoT is a key enabling technology for the green transition, bringing together several technological paradigms, from smart electronic components, 5G technologies, to AI and Edge Computing. Five Nordic universities have developed a roadmap on Industrial IoT (IIoT).
