While existing AI technologies provide tools for running AI on IoT and resource-constrained devices, they often lack the capabilities for self-organization and collaborative learning—essential for devices to autonomously adapt to ever-changing data and resource availability.
To this end, CoGNETs will develop a Middleware Framework which will allow each device to act as a cognitive resource, autonomously managing data processing and service provisioning within a decentralized, context-aware system. By enabling on-demand, opportunistic collaboration among devices, CoGNETs maximizes efficiency, security, and resilience, surpassing the potential of current AI-driven systems.
Aligned with broader EU goals, CoGNETs supports the advancement of digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and sustainable growth in sectors like Industry 4.0, Mobility, and Health 4.0.
