Abstract
Computing will no longer be restricted to traditional platforms, but will be embedded in almost everything, and interconnected in a way that establishes an unprecedented Computing Continuum. A plethora of sensors, actuators, robots, drones, cars etc. will not just act standalone. They will be part of an all pervading, interconnected network that exhibits enormous complexity, particularly at the ‘edge’ of the ecosystem, creating a cognitive loop. It is driving to the emergence of Swarm Intelligence where the individual computing capacity of the devices at the edge will be complemented and supplemented by their dynamic cooperation with other objects in swarm communities acting as an intelligent whole. It perfectly fits the emergence of the networked connection of people, process, data and things that is exploding, pushed by business models, for which current architectures will not work anymore.
