Workshop: Edge-to-Cloud Continuum Challenges and Technical Enablers with COGNIFOG Framework

As distributed systems become increasingly pervasive, from IoT devices to cloud infrastructures, mastering this continuum is essential for building scalable, intelligent, and sovereign digital solutions.

This workshop organised by CEA List, Thales and Embedded France is dedicated brings together experts from industry, academia, and open-source communities to explore the edge to cloud challenges, latest trends and strategic directions. A special focus will be given to the Cognifog Framework, a European initiative aimed at enabling intelligent orchestration across edge and cloud resources.
