Data Management

The Data Management Module is responsible for managing all data required in ICOS, as well as the efficient execution layer of data-based applications and services used in ICOS. Its main functionalities include:

  • Data distribution across the continuum, taking advantage of the entire available infrastructure

  • Smart data placement and dynamic adaptation to changes in the infrastructure during operation: devices joining or leaving, reorganizations, etc

  • Seamless access to data in ICOS, regardless of the location (device or cloud) or nature of resource (in-motion or at-rest), by providing an integrated data platform spanning the whole continuum

  • Minimization of data transfers to improve performance and trust, by exploiting near-data processing invarious types of devices.

An example is provided in the Example Zenoh section.
