Edge computing brings unique challenges as the resources on the edge are highly diverse in capabilities and capacities, and highly distributed across many users and the physical world. Existing distributed computing frameworks cannot adequately handle this level of heterogeneity and distribution.

The paper introduces a SAREF-compliant ontology designed to represent distributed AI workflows across edge, fog, and cloud environments. It extends the SAREF4SYST ontology with concepts for AI pipelines, executable jobs, resources, deployment constraints, and communication links, creating a unified semantic model for both AI workflows and heterogeneous infrastructures. Evaluation through smart‑grid energy service scenarios and competency questions demonstrates successful deployment, reasoning, and workload adaptation, achieving 90‑100% deployment success and sub‑80 ms orchestration times.

The paper introduces a dynamic framework for partitioning neural network layers across a heterogeneous edge‑cloud continuum, adapting to runtime changes in network conditions and device capabilities. It profiles models at startup, measures link quality, and periodically re‑evaluates the partitioning to optimize performance. Experiments on a Raspberry Pi, laptop, and desktop using VGG16, AlexNet, and MobileNetV2 demonstrate energy savings of 27.09–35.82% and latency reductions of 6.34–22.92% over static partitioning.

The article outlines a vision and recent progress toward a decentralized system that learns from real‑time building data, treating the building itself as a data center to enhance privacy and reduce dependence on external clouds. It introduces a lightweight, Kubernetes‑like orchestration framework for deploying AI services on low‑power microcontrollers, such as those in the Arduino ecosystem, enabling in‑situ learning on sensors. The work also presents experimental results for new online learning algorithms and proposes a cloud‑fog‑edge architecture using KOptim and FIWARE components.
