The initial release draft of GEISA aka GEISA 1.0 will define a minimum set of specifications required to provide basic interoperability to provide a more consistent environment for edge applications developers.
Definition will be sufficient enough to write a conformance tests.

Define Testable / Not Testable Components
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
