The GEISA project is working on several products that would enable grid edge interoperability that consists of:
GEISA Specification (Draft Target 6/30/2025) for:
ADM: Application & Device Management
API: Application Programming Interface
EE: Execution Environment
Sample Implementation (Target Q3 2025) for a GEISA API and Execution Environment
Conformance Tests (Target Q1 2026) for each of the above specification
The specification should be sufficiently defined that a conformance test can be performed for each component of the specification. The above products define the minimal set of requirements to provide basic interoperability and a consistent environment for edge application developers.

Beyond GEISA 1.0
Future iterations of GEISA would expand the definition to increase interoperability and capability across the edge environment
GEISA 1.x
More specific definitions for areas under existing categories that require further detail.
GEISA 2.0
Native Implementation as opposed to containerization
Move towards Build Once vs. Write Once
More API’s for other types of hardware support
