NEMO: Building the Next Generation Meta Operating System

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is one of the next big concepts to support societal changes and economic growth, being one of the fastest growing ICT segments. A specific challenge is to leverage existing technology strengths to develop solutions that sustain the European industry and values. The ongoing NEMO ("Next Generation Meta-Operating System") EU-funded project intends to establish itself as the "game changer" of the AIoT-Edge-Cloud continuum by introducing an open source, modular and cybersecure meta-operating system, leveraging on existing technologies and introducing novel concepts, methods, tools, testing and engagement campaigns. NEMO will bring intelligence closer to the data and make AI-as-a-Service an integral part of network self-organisation and micro-services execution orchestration. Its widespread penetration and massive acceptance will be achieved via new technology, precommercial exploitation components and liaison with open-source communities. By defining a modular and adaptable mOS (meta-OS) architecture together with building blocks and plugins the project will "address" current and future technological and business needs.
