Workshop on Cross-Domain Standardisation and Architecture for Edge Computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving rapidly, driven by advances in edge computing and swarm intelligence, transforming sectors like mobility, energy, agriculture, and manufacturing. Over the past two decades, IoT and edge computing have been critical to the Green and Digital transitions, reshaping business models and services. Standardizing these technologies requires a coordinated approach across sectors.

Geopolitical challenges highlight the need for unified IoT standardization. Collaboration with international entities is essential to define global standards, safeguarding European interests.

This workshop, organized by the European Commission with CEI Sphere and INSTAR, will address gaps in standardization, foster collaboration, and promote international cooperation on emerging technologies. Key initiatives like ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 and SAREF will be central to discussions.

Our colleague Dave Raggett (W3C/ERCIM) is invited to address the critical questions around international standardization activities and the EU involvement in them, with the aim of fostering cross-fertilization between ongoing projects in IoT and edge computing.
