Swarmchestrate Consortium partners in Berlin, September 2025 (© Swarmchestrate consortium 2024-2026)
Our General Assembly took place in Berlin on September 9-10, 2025; hosted by Technische Universität Berlin right in the heart of this historic city, a stone’s throw away from emblematic landmarks, hip restaurants and art galleries. Over two days we confirmed our progress and got the upcoming mid-term review of the project under way, laying down a meaningful scenario which shall showcase the value that the decentralised autonomous and self-organised application management adds to our demonstrators Fuelics, InnoRenew CoE and UST. The following video swiftly presents the project.
Our project has now been running for 20 months, which means that we are more than halfway through; many things have been going on:
➡️ Development of a TOSCA-based semantic model, enabling rich, machine-interpretable application descriptions that capture everything from resource needs to QoS goals
➡️ Release of the first, partially integrated version of Swarmchestrate’s decentralised orchestrator
➡️ Innovative definition and semantic formalisation of “logical proximity” within swarms
➡️ Initial version of our AI-based matchmaking algorithms
➡️ A multi-dimensional trust model covering identity, behavior, and context, providing the blueprint for turning this into real-time, on-chain evidence
➡️ Pioneering the upcoming OASIS Swarm Computing profile, which shall define a set of common components for the Swarm Computing space
➡️ Design and development of our Cloud-to-Edge simulation environment which shall model and assess our innovative decentralised, self-organising orchestration mechanisms
➡️ Participation in online and in-person events, disseminating the results of our work, giving keynote speeches and contributing to community efforts
The project coordinator is HUN-REN SZTAKI, a Hungarian research institute; among the 15 project partners, we find universities, research institutes and companies from 10 different EU countries, the UK and Korea. The technical coordination lies with the University of Westminster, represented in this project by the Centre for Parallel Computing (CPC), a centre of excellence and one of the leading and most successful research hubs within the University. The project is funded with €4,3 million from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme, with £938.271 coming from the UKRI and with €356.229 from the Seoul National University (Institute of Engineering Research) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) (funded by the Korea government, Ministry of Science and ICT -MSIT).
