The first, interim review of the RAINBOW H2020 Research and Innovation Action with external reviewers and the Project Officer from the European Commission side took place (virtually) on July 29, 2021, wherein the RAINBOW consortium successfully presented the results of the work of the project during the first 18 months of the project. The vision of RAINBOW is to design and develop an open and trusted fog computing platform that facilitates the deployment and management of scalable, heterogeneous and secure IoT services and cross-cloud applications (i.e., microservices). RAINBOW falls within the bigger vision of delivering a platform enabling users to remotely control the infrastructure that is running, potentially, on hundreds of edge devices (e.g., wearables), thousands of fog nodes in a factory building or flying in the sky (e.g., drones), and millions of vehicles travelling in a certain area or across Europe. UBITECH is serving as the project’s administrative and technical coordinator, therefore presented the project’s progress towards its technical and operational objectives, as well as a summary of the project’s achievements so far.
