Redefining distributed knowledge and data management

The evolution of the edge-to-cloud continuum brings transformative potential, but also significant hurdles in distributed data management. The European project ACES is addressing these challenges through a cognitive-by-design methodology, moving beyond simple data storage toward active knowledge interpretation. A core innovation in ACES is the introduction of a resource pool, which presents a significant shift from current edge definitions. By leveraging technologies like CXL and PCIe switches, the system can…

Swarm intelligence in the factory

Modern semiconductor production is a operating at huge complexity, often involving over 1,500 products moving through 300 processing steps across 1,200 different machines. Traditional centralized scheduling methods frequently fail to optimize these NP-hard environments in real-time. To address this, the SwarmIn project leverages Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithms to create a self-organizing, bottom-up scheduling system. Unlike standard scheduling that calculates a global plan from the top down, the SwarmIn approach…
