MYRTUS and other projects

Working together with other European research projects

MYRTUS collaborates with other Horizon Europe projects that share its goals or complement its research. The collaboration runs both at project level and through the MYRTUS partners, many of whom are also involved in related projects. It starts with the projects funded under the same call and extends to other projects on the cloud-edge continuum and in neighbouring research areas.

How we collaborate

Joint webinars

MYRTUS presents its work side by side with other projects in online sessions, many of them within the EUCloudEdgeIoT community. Topics range from cognitive cloud and AI-driven orchestration to standardisation and market-ready results.

Workshops and events

MYRTUS partners organise and join workshops at European computing conferences such as HiPEAC and DATE, take part in the info days of related projects, and open MYRTUS events to contributions from related initiatives.

Shared partners and advisors

Several MYRTUS partners work in other European projects, and MYRTUS researchers sit on the advisory boards of projects in other research areas. They carry ideas and lessons learned in both directions.

Shared open results

Slides, recordings and reports from the joint activities are published openly, many of them on Zenodo, so that the wider community can reuse them.

Shared challenges, different answers

Most of these projects aim at a continuum that can sense its own state, take decisions and adapt, from IoT and edge devices up to the cloud. They share common concerns: AI-driven orchestration, the management of heterogeneous resources, energy efficiency, security and trust, and interoperability based on open standards.

Each project explores its own path, such as swarms of self-organising nodes, intent-based operation or serverless functions. MYRTUS contributes a reference infrastructure that federates edge, fog and cloud nodes, including FPGA-based accelerators, the MIRTO cognitive engine for orchestration, and a design and programming environment that takes applications from models to code for heterogeneous nodes.

Projects we work with

Sister projects

MYRTUS is one of seven projects funded under the Horizon Europe call "Cognitive Computing Continuum: Intelligence and automation for more efficient data processing" (HORIZON-CL4-2023-DATA-01). Started in early 2024, they work as a cluster within the EUCloudEdgeIoT initiative.
