COP-PILOT Contributes to Workshop on Standards for Cloud-Edge-IoT Ecosystems
COP-PILOT Horizon will participate in the Workshop on Standards for Cloud-Edge-IoT Ecosystems, taking place on 23 June 2026 at AFNOR in Paris, France. The event will bring together experts from industry, research, standardization bodies, and European initiatives to discuss the future of standards supporting interoperable Cloud-Edge-IoT ecosystems.
As digital infrastructures become increasingly distributed and interconnected, the development of common frameworks and standards is essential to ensure interoperability, scalability, security, and trust across domains. The workshop will provide a forum for stakeholders to exchange perspectives on current standardization activities and identify priorities for future developments at both European and international levels.
COP-PILOT will be represented by project partner NETCOMPANY, with Konstantinos Fragkos presenting the project, its main components, and its contribution to standards. The presentation highlighted the project’s impact on standards through the CEI Hourglass Model, using Cluster 3A as a practical example.
The workshop will also showcase the strong collaboration between COP-PILOT and the wider Cloud-Edge-IoT ecosystem, including initiatives such as CEI-Sphere, O-CEI, LICORICE, and INSTAR, as well as engagement with relevant standardization bodies, including ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41.
Through its participation, COP-PILOT will demonstrate how its platform architecture supports secure and interoperable multi-domain orchestration while contributing practical insights from real-world deployments to ongoing standardization efforts. These activities play an important role in ensuring that future Cloud-Edge-IoT ecosystems are built upon open, scalable, and widely adopted standards capable of supporting Europe’s digital transformation.
