FedAGI (Artificial General Intelligence Federation) aims to enable a federated universe of resources (data, models, workflows, and computing, etc.) tokenized by OpenIaC (Open Infrastructure-as-Code), where decentralized digital assets are used among members across their legal silos and sovereignty borders. Cloud services are used by enterprises today to provide collaborative resource networks, where the trust management is often centralized. However, a computing continuum in IoT-Edge-Cloud space requires now decentralized digital assets and resources to be shared among members in a federation cross their legal silos and sovereignty borders. To address the needs of modern information architectures, the OpenIaC (Open Infrastructure-as-Code) – “The network is my computing”, seeks to augment existing Cloud Computing and networking solutions with support for multiple cloud infrastructures and seamless integration of cloud-based microservices. The OpenIaC initiative seeks to provide a common open forum to integrate and build on advances in cloud computing and blockchain, creating of an open-source hub with fine-grained access control for an open and connected infrastructure of shared resources (sensing, storage, computing, 3D printing, etc.) managed by blockchains and federations, based on the principles of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) among the federation of connected resources based on Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). The initiative has the potential to provide a path for developing new platforms, business models, and a modernized information ecosystem necessary for 5G+ networks. The OpenIaC has a comprehensive new approach in all OSI layers from layer 2 up to applications that are built on underlying principles that include reproducibility, continuous integration/continuous delivery, auditability, and versioning. There are obvious needs to redesign and optimize the protocols from the network layer to the application layer. The solution includes a blockchain based decentralized and distributed technology for on-the-fly dynamic control framework on shared data as well as computing at edge, allowing a user to trace, retract, remove, and limit sharing of shared content. It gives the digital right and sharing control power back to the data creator, which is often considered as lost once it is shared today. It aims to create balance between data utility and privacy, thus creating a win-win situation between organizations and their customers.

Prof. Chunming Rong has been academician of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences (NTVA) since 2011. He has served the extended IEEE Cloud Computing community for many years. Starting the CloudCom conference series in 2009, he gave numerous keynote addresses at IEEE conferences all over the world. He played a vital leadership role (first as vice chair and then as chair) in both the IEEE Cloud Computing initiative and the IEEE CS STC Cloud Computing, and led its transition to the IEEE CS Technical Committee on Cloud Computing (TCCLD). He served as the steering chair (2016-2019), and now as steering member of the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC). He has extended his engagement also in the IEEE Future Directions, through his involvement with the IEEE Blockchain Initiative (2017-2018). He is an executive member of Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC) and the chair of STC on Blockchain in IEEE Computer Society. He is an IEEE senior member. Prof. Rong is also advisor of the StandICT.EU to support European scandalization activities in ICT. He works as the head of the Data-centered and Secure Computing (DSComputing) at the University of Stavanger (UiS). He is also co-founder of two start-ups bitYoga and Dataunitor in Norway, both received EU Seal of Excellence Award in 2018. He was adjunct Senior Scientist leading Big-Data Initiative at NORCE (2016-2019), the vice president of CSA Norway Chapter (2016-2017). He is co-Editors-in-Chief of the journal “Blockchain: Research and Applications” by Elsevier, co-Editors-in-Chief of the Journal of Cloud Computing (ISSN: 2192-113X) by Springer, has served as the steering chair (2016-2019), steering member and associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC) since 2016. He has extensive contact network and projects in both the industry and academic. His research work focuses on cloud computing, data analytics, cyber security and blockchain. Prof. Rong has extensive experience in managing large-scale R&D projects, both in Norway and EU.
