ETSI - LF MEC Hackathon 2022

ETSI/Linux Foundation - Edge Hackathon 2022

Organization

Details

• Driven by LF Edge Akraino and ETSI ISG MEC
• Hosted at Edge Computing World, Europe (June ‘22) & Global (October ‘22)

The goal was to develop an innovative Edge Application or Solution, utilizing ETSI MEC Service APIs and LF Edge Akraino Blueprints. Your solution might include any combination of terminal apps, edge apps or services, and cloud components.

The Edge Hackathon was run remotely from 29 June to 23 September with a short-list of best teams invited to complete with demonstrations and a Hackathon “pitch-off” at the Edge Computing World, Global Event in Santa Clara in the Silicon Valley

• Edge Computing provides developers with localized, low-latency resources that can be utilized to create new and innovative solutions, which are essential to many application vertical markets in the 5G era.

• ETSI’s ISG MEC is standardizing an open environment that enables the integration of applications from infrastructure and edge service providers across MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) platforms and systems.

• LF Edge’s Akraino project offers a set of open infrastructure and application Blueprints for Edge, spanning a broad variety of application vertical use-cases. Each blueprint offers a high-quality full-stack solution that is tested and validated , that are validated by the community.

• The purpose of this Hackathon was to demonstrate an innovative Edge Application or Solution focused on the following application vertical use-cases with supporting ETSI MEC Service APIs and LF Edge Akraino Blueprint resources:
  • Automotive: Realize a vehicular use case or service to enable intelligent traffic control, driving capabilities, increased safety, etc.
  • Mixed and Augmented Reality: Realize an immersive application enabling interactivity of physical systems and human experiences.
  • Edge Computing and 5G: Deploy and use 5G and hybrid edge infrastructure to enable federation for distributed edge applications

However, teams were also encouraged to be creative and propose to develop solutions in other application verticals than these highlighted.
