HORIZON-CL4-2023-DATA-01-06 — Coordination and Support of Cognitive Computing Continuum research and policy (CSA)
Topic HORIZON-CL4-2023-DATA-01-06 was focused on "computing continuum addressing the area from a broad perspective from edge device to edge cloud to cloud to HPC, from scientific to industrial to societal and research applications, and addressing all relevant aspects such as real-time, security, etc. Developments should complement the Industrial Roadmap from the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud by offering a long-term research perspective which enables disruptive innovations." It was also linked with HPC.

Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalProjects are expected to contribute to both of the following outcomes:
- Prototypes of cloud and edge servers demonstrated in relevant centralised and distributed environments and allowing full computing infrastructure deployments based on European processor technology, thereby establishing a full Open Computing Architecture stack, which supports emerging processing architectures (e.g. RISC-V).
- Standards and best practices consolidating the European Open Computing Architecture, as well as its interfaces to current industry standards.
Proposals should facilitate the emergence of a full European Open Cloud and Edge Computing Architecture by
- Developing open source alternatives to enable the physical use of emerging processors in cloud and edge server systems. Such modules include basic input/output systems, pre-boot execution environments, power-on authentication, etc., supporting heterogeneous processor architectures, and
- Demonstrating actual cloud and edge systems in real life or emulated computing environments exploiting the benefits of an extended open source stack (socket to application) on emerging processor architectures (e.g. RISC-V).
Research should interface with relevant existing standards and contribute to standardisation where appropriate.
Proposals should include a clear business case and exploitation strategy.
Proposals are expected to develop synergies and relate to activities and outcomes of the KDT/Chips and the EuroHPC Joint Undertakings, the European Processor Initiative and the European RISC-V working group. They should complement the development of European HW and related low-level software as done under the KDT and EuroHPC JUs, to make these exploitable for cloud and edge servers and make use of previous developments under Horizon Europe.

Summary of observer report:
The evaluation went smoothly, no breach of any of the rules or codes of conduct could be observed. Following the online meetings very carefully the high efficiency, transparency and neutrality of the whole process could be verified. As a consequence of Brexit it could perhaps be useful to rethink the language balance during the different steps in the process.
We recently informed the applicants about the evaluation results for their proposals.
For questions, please contact: the Research Enquiry Service.
[1] Proposals with the same score were ranked according to the priority order procedure set out in the call conditions (for HE, in the General Annexes to the Work Programme or specific arrangements in the specific call/topic conditions).
