As an Innovation Action funded under the EU HORIZON program, COP-PILOT aims to develop a Collaborative Open Platform (COP) piloting framework that enables end-to-end orchestration across service domains. The platform looks to integrate novel AI-driven tools, SLA-preserving automation, and secure infrastructure while piloting diverse real-world applications across sectors like energy, smart cities, agriculture, and manufacturing to drive cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and societal impact. The project will design and implement a cloud-managed service orchestrator (ServOrch) with standardized northbound and southbound interfaces to manage end-to-end services across geo-distributed, multi-tenant domains. Complementing it, a distributed grid of infrastructure orchestrators (InfraOrch) will be created, to expose resources as a service to ServOrch and to interface with advanced compute and network controllers. The platform will integrate state-of-the-art infrastructure controllers for radio access networks, transport and data center SDNs, mobile core networks, and computing clusters, including IoT nodes. Additionally, the platform will incorporate heterogeneous IoT platforms, both legacy and advanced, and will establish a secure integration fabric with standardized interfaces for cross-sector interoperability and dynamic infrastructure registration.
