ENACT consortium gathered in Valencia, Spain, on June 17–18, 2025, for its latest General Assembly, a two-day meeting that combined technical reviews, live demonstrations, and forward-looking discussions on the evolution of the Cognitive Computing Continuum (CCC). Hosted by Information Catalyst and attended by representatives from all partner organizations, the meeting marked a key milestone in the project’s roadmap as ENACT moves closer to its second review phase.
The first day focused on technical implementation and system integration. Partners presented progress across core work packages — from WP2’s final architecture and specifications to the ongoing developments in WP4 (Cloud-Edge Abstraction), WP5 (Edge-Cloud Orchestration), and WP6 (Application Programming Model). A series of live demos showcased tangible advances: configuring new nodes through the Dynamic Graph Model, assessing deployment-specific risks, validating AI Act compliance, and securely storing telemetry data. These sessions demonstrated how ENACT’s components interconnect across layers, paving the way toward seamless orchestration between cloud and edge.
Particular attention was given to the integration of AI models into the ENACT AI Orchestrator, leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) techniques for adaptive scheduling. Partners also discussed the Virtual Training Environment (VTE) and SDK, both instrumental in enabling scalable testing and developer engagement.
The second day turned to pilot activities, dissemination, and exploitation. Each use case — EITB/OSO, MOG Technologies, and Fujitsu — presented its deployment plan, datasets, and testing roadmap. These sessions deepened collaboration between technical and pilot teams, aligning integration goals with real-world scenarios such as distributed media management and mobility digital twins. In parallel, discussions within WP8 addressed the project’s impact assessment, dissemination activities, open-source strategy, and the definition of exploitation pathways for upcoming deliverables.
Throughout the assembly, participants reaffirmed ENACT’s mission to design AI-driven, secure, and resilient orchestration for distributed computing systems. The meeting fostered a strong spirit of collaboration, balancing technical depth with informal exchanges during coffee breaks and networking sessions.
As the project advances toward the upcoming review, the consortium leaves Valencia with renewed alignment, a clear action plan, and a shared vision: to turn the Cognitive Computing Continuum into a concrete, deployable reality for Europe’s digital future.
