FLUIDOS is proud to announce its participation in the 2nd International Workshop on MetaOS for the Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum (MECC 2025), co-located with EuroSys 2025, taking place on March 31, 2025, in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
This workshop provides an overview of the opportunities and critical issues brought by a MetaOS orchestrating the Cloud-Edge-IoT ecosystem, particularly focusing on its deployment to optimize AI processes and computational needs.
As part of its commitment to advancing distributed computing, FLUIDOS will contribute with two dedicated sessions, presenting key research that is shaping the future of workload orchestration and identity management in cloud-edge infrastructures.
1. MIMO: A Framework for Extensible and Flexible Intent-based Workload Meta-Orchestration
Presented by Stefano Braghin (IBM)
In the evolving landscape of cloud and edge computing, traditional workload orchestration strategies struggle to meet the demands of scalability, adaptability, and dynamic resource allocation. To address these challenges, FLUIDOS introduces MIMO (Model-based and Intent-driven Meta Orchestrator)—a novel framework that redefines meta-orchestration by enabling customizable, intent-aware workload management across the computing continuum.
MIMO is a key component within the FLUIDOS project, integrating Kubernetes with Liqo's multi-cloud and multi-cluster abstractions to facilitate seamless resource sharing. Unlike conventional orchestrators, MIMO leverages an ensemble-based architecture, dynamically selecting the most suitable model-based and algorithmic orchestration techniques to optimize workload placement based on user-defined intents. These intents can include performance constraints, security policies, energy efficiency targets, and compliance requirements, ensuring a bespoke orchestration approach for each workload.
2. Intent Lifecycle Management over Programmable Infrastructure in the Computing Continuum
Presented by Dimitra Chalima and Nassar Kyriakidou (ExcID)
In this session, an access control solution for the computing continuum will be presented, combining Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials, and Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC). The solution enables decentralized identity and access management, adaptive and contextual access control, as well as continuous and secure authentication and authorization.
A proof-of-concept implementation has been developed for the FLUIDOS MetaOS, integrating the corresponding Identity Management system. This work paves the way for a more secure and autonomous framework for managing identities across distributed computing environments, addressing critical challenges in security and privacy within cloud-edge infrastructures.
By participating in MECC 2025, FLUIDOS continues to strengthen its impact on the MetaOS research community and reinforcing its role in defining the next generation of cloud-edge continuum solutions.
We invite all stakeholders in cloud, edge, and IoT computing to join us in Rotterdam to explore how FLUIDOS is pushing the boundaries of distributed orchestration and secure identity management.
