European Edge Computing Consortium

The planned European Edge Computing Consortium (EECC) aims at supporting small, medium-sized and large enterprises in Europe and all around the world to adopt related technologies and in particular with a focus on the augmentation of Operational Technologies (OT) with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Its mission is to drive adoption of the Edge Computing paradigm within the manufacturing and other industrial markets. It will emphasize on utilizing and contributing to existing solutions, standards and initiatives to ensure that industrial needs and requirements are optimally addressed in member products.Therefore, goals of this initiative include the specification of a Reference Architecture Model for Edge Computing (EECC RAMEC), the development of reference technology stacks (EECC Edge Nodes), the identification of gaps and recommendation of best practices by evaluating approaches within multiple scenarios (EECC Pathfinders), and the synchronization with related initiatives/standardization organizations and the promotion of the results. The consortium welcomes collaboration with more partners who are engaged in the action of digitalization verticals
