Glaðsheimr

The fifth is Glaðsheimr,
and gold-bright there
Stands Valhöll stretching wide;
And there does Oðinn
each day choose
The men who have fallen in fight.
Grímnismál, The says of Grímnir
Vision
Glaðsheimr is an open project to research building complete applications that are capable of providing true privacy and transparency to end users. Research is focused on developing use cases and technologies that leverages concepts such as TinyML, FGPAs and concepts of orchestration. Glaðsheimr will also be develop tooling (Mjolnir) to allow application developers to design, build and orchestrate applications.
What is Orchestration?
Orchestration is the automatic process of managing or scheduling the work of individual components (models, sensors, frontend) within multiple devices. Orchestration automates such things as configuration, availability, provisioning and health monitoring of the application.
Orchestration is a common concept in web development (with projects such as Kubernetes) although the scope for orchestration in Mjölnir.
Proof Of Concepts
- Vatn: Does your water intake increases morning energy?
- Water tracking: Audio signals based on poured water
- Person energy: Time spent in bed tracked with human presence or sleep tracking
- Integration using only bluetooth mesh protocols
- Another concept is built around exploring metabolic syndrome
