Abstract

Industry demands are growing for hyper-distributed applications that span from the cloud to the edge in domains such as smart manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture. Yet today's solutions struggle to meet these demands due to inherent limitations in scalability, interoperability, and trust. In this article, we introduce HERMES (Heterogeneous Computing Continuum with Resource Monetization, Orchestration, and Semantic) - a novel framework designed to transform connectivity and data utilization across the computing continuum. HERMES establishes an open, seamless, and secure environment where resources, from cloud servers to tiny edge devices, can be orchestrated intelligently, data and services can be monetized in a distributed marketplace, and knowledge is shared through semantic interoperability. By bridging these key facets, HERMES lays a foundation for a new generation of distributed applications that are more efficient, trustworthy, and autonomous.
