Towards Cognitive Self-Management of IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum based on User Intents

Elasticity of the computing continuum with on demand availability allows for automated provisioning and release of computing resources as needed; however, this self management capability is severely limited due to the lack of knowledge on historical and timely resource utilisation and means for stakeholders to express their needs in a high-level manner. In this paper, we introduce and discuss a new concept – intent-based cognitive continuum for sustainable elasticity.
