The objective of the FRACTAL project is to create a new approach to reliable edge computing. The computing node will be the building block of scalable Internet of Things (from Low Computing to High Computing Edge Nodes). The cognitive skill will be given by an internal and external architecture that allows forecasting its internal performance and the state of the surrounding world. The node will have the capability of learning how to improve its performance against the uncertainty of the environment. New industrial functions will flourish through the created space of the cognitive system. Cognitive advantages are brought to a resilient edge and a computing paradigm that lay down between the physical world and the cloud.
