Problem
Conventional operating-system abstractions do not directly express inference placement across models with different latency, energy, memory, integrity and connectivity characteristics.
Process
The study reframed scheduling around inference requests and decision constraints, then separated application intent, orchestration, runtime memory and heterogeneous acceleration into explicit layers.
Implementation
The reference architecture defined a cognitive scheduler, multi-objective placement, cache-aware memory management, deterministic fallback under intermittent connectivity and continuous runtime attestation.
Outcomes
The output is a public preprint with reproducible diagrams and a falsifiable architecture. It identifies implementation and comparative benchmarking as open work; no field or client result is claimed.
Non-client technical case study derived from the cited BELTO-affiliated Zenodo preprint. It does not claim a commissioned engagement, operating deployment or commercial result.
