Modern edge computing faces a silent efficiency killer: resource waste. Traditional orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes often rely on conservative, rule-based scheduling where applications overestimate their CPU and RAM needs. This leads to significant “slack resources”—allocated capacity that sits idle while other tasks wait in queues. The Horizon Europe project ACES is tackling this challenge through a novel, self-organizing local decision mechanism inspired by the natural world. A multi-agent approach to…
