June 30 - July 1
COP-PILOT Horizon, together with the Eclipse Foundation, CEI-Sphere, and O-CEI Horizon, will co-organize the Code the Continuum Hackathon, taking place on 30 June–1 July 2026 at the University of Cagliari.
The event will bring together students, developers, researchers, innovators, and open-source communities to collaborate on practical challenges across the cloud–edge–IoT continuum. Participants will engage in hands-on activities linked to key domains such as energy, mobility, and industry, working with real use cases and pilot environments.
Participants can choose between three hands-on challenge tracks:
- COP-PILOT: From Code to Continuum: Orchestrating Distributed Applications with OpenSlice
This challenge focuses on orchestrating distributed energy applications across simulated edge and cloud environments using OpenSlice and Kubernetes. Participants will onboard, deploy, and manage containerised services simulating an energy monitoring pipeline across the computing continuum. - O-CEI: Eclipse Zenoh & Sustainable Edge-Cloud
Explore how Eclipse Zenoh supports energy-aware edge-cloud applications by comparing cloud-only and edge-accelerated deployments, reducing bandwidth usage and energy consumption across distributed systems. - ECLIPSE FOUNDATION: Jakarta EE, AI & the Hourglass Model
Design and implement a Jakarta EE application using the Hourglass Model and external LLM integration to analyse enterprise domains through modern AI engineering and agentic techniques.
COP-PILOT will be represented by Cluster3E leader Eleftherios Mylonas from University of Patras.
The hackathon will provide a collaborative space for experimentation, knowledge exchange, and the exploration of open technologies, interoperability, and reusable solutions across large-scale pilots. Further details on thematic tracks and participation will be announced soon.
Through this initiative, COP-PILOT aims to foster cross-community collaboration, promote open-source innovation, and support the development of interoperable solutions within Europe’s evolving computing continuum ecosystem.
