Post by COP-PILOT Horizon

📖 Looking for a great read for the weekend ahead? A new COP-PILOT Horizon whitepaper is available! "COP-PILOT as a Pan-European, Open, and Interoperable Platform of Open Standardised Platforms", explores how COP-PILOT brings together a diverse ecosystem of open-source communities, standards, and digital platforms to create a true platform-of-platforms for Europe's digital future. The whitepaper introduces a high-level view of our final architecture, demonstrating how COP-PILOT acts as a unified layer over the entire IoT-Edge-Core Cloud continuum. By managing heterogeneous compute, network, and data infrastructures, the platform delivers automated, multi-domain orchestration for five critical vertical sectors: Mining, Smart Cities, Agriculture & Logistics, Energy, and Manufacturing. Key insights featured in the document include: 💡 A Standardised EU Software Stack: A complete mapping of how abstract architectural blocks are instantiated by leading European open-source platforms, such as ETSI SDG OpenSlice, OpenZiti, FIWARE, and Eclipse Arrowhead. 💡 Global Standards Alignment: A detailed look at our compliance with crucial global frameworks, including TM Forum Management APIs, ETSI NFV APIs, and ETSI TC DATA NGSI-LD. 💡 Creating a Long-Lasting Legacy: An overview of how years of consecutive EU-funded software development (from 5G-VINNI and MATILDA to ACROSS Horizon Europe and FIDAL PROJECT) are capitalized upon to build sustainable software that will power future flagship initiatives like ENFORCE_EU Project, the 3C4AI project, and EURO-3C. By decoupling service collaboration from underlying network topologies through an identity-first Secure Integration Fabric (SIF), COP-PILOT ensures secure, cross-border digital sovereignty and low-cost entry points for innovators across the continent. 📥Download the whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/ezYsMz_3 🔗https://lnkd.in/dY_dP5NM Georgios P.
