Outline of Research at the Start	The research project will be implemented in six Working Packages (WP). WP1 focuses on enabling technologies that help to interconnect various aerial platforms; WP2 investigates appropriate architecture for the aerial edge computing systems; WP3 studies novel security and privacy schemes for sharing data and learning models in the space-based edge computing; WP4 focuses on optimization design and operation in terms of computation and communication for aerial edge computing using multiple MECs. WP5 is dedicated to result dissemination and WP6 is designed for project management tasks.
