Abstract

Edge cloud technologies working in conjunction with AI-powered solutions can help surmount the challenges associated with the distributed execution of immersive services and contribute to delivering a positive end-user experience. Intelligent resource management, orchestration, and predictive systems can enhance service deployment, adapt to changing demands, and ensure seamless service operation. This paper introduces an innovative architectural paradigm that enables multi-domain edge orchestration for highly distributed immersive services by leveraging various AI solutions and technological tools to support multi-domain edge deployments. The proposed architecture is designed to function based on multi-level specification blueprints, separating high-level user-intent infrastructure definition from AI-driven orchestration and the final execution plan. This architectural design enables the incorporation of AI solutions to be conducted in a modular manner. Furthermore, the Application Management Framework provides a visual language and tool as an alternative to formal methods for creating intent blueprints. The proposed architecture is evaluated within the frame of an immersive virtual touring use-case scenario.
