The Industrial Systems Institute of the Athena Research Center, acting as coordinator of the AC3 project, organized the kick-off meeting on the 9th of February. Within AC3 project, ISI/Athena RC is to collaborate with other major research centers and universities and big European companies in the area of cloud networking.

AC3 project will deliver a novel Cloud Edge Computing Continuum that relies on AI and ML to manage the lifecycle of applications as well as the underpinning IT and networking resources, while ensuring that it operates as a cognitive system on top of a federated infrastructure composed of Cloud, Edge, far edge and data sources from different stakeholders.
