The Front Research Group of NCSRD actively engaged researchers and postgraduate students in discussions about SAFE-6G objectives and 6G experimentation during the poster session of the event.

Dr. Harilaos Koumaras, head of FRONT Research Group and Leader of Athens 6G testbed, stated: “ We had the opportunity to share SAFE-6G’s vision for 6G experimentation with young researchers and postgraduate students, who need access to 6G experimentation testbeds for performing their research. SAFE-6G, as the pan-European federated B5G/6G experimentation facility, can meet this need by offering applied testing and experimentation.”

The event, which focused on Information Technology and Telecommunications, Nanotechnology and Modern Materials, and Energy, Environment, and Safety, provided a dynamic platform for researchers and postgraduate students to exchange insights, forge new partnerships, and explore cutting-edge innovations.

INFOLYSiS, an SME partner of the project, also participated in the SAFE-6G booth, communicating the importance of B5G/6G experimentation for building innovative services and products and explaining how SAFE-6G supports this through its federated open experimentation 6G testbeds.

Both teams engaged participants in in-depth discussions, highlighting the project’s transformative potential. The vibrant roll-up banner showcased technological advancements and our commitment to advancing the fields of communication, materials science, and environmental sustainability. The SAFE-6G communication was also complemented with project materials such as leaflets and stickers.

aerOS 2nd Open Call

/0 Comments/in /by

The aerOS project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program, has officially launched its second round of Open Calls as of July 25, 2024. This initiative seeks to further advance the development and implementation of a cutting-edge meta operating system designed for the IoT edge-cloud continuum.

The second Open Call invites European SMEs, universities, research centers, and individuals to submit proposals that enhance the aerOS ecosystem. Proposals must focus on application sectors different from those in the current pilots and demonstrate a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL > 6). The selected proposals will receive funding to validate and improve the technical components of aerOS, contribute to its scalability, and promote its adoption across new verticals.

Interested parties must complete an online form and upload a supporting document through the aerOS Open Call submission platform. The submission period runs from July 25, 2024, to September 30, 2024, at 5 p.m. CEST. Detailed guidelines and evaluation criteria are provided in the Guide for Applicants.

EMPOWERING 6G NETWORKS: FIRST WORKSHOP ON ADVANCEMENTS IN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES, ADAPTIVE FRAMEWORKS AND GLOBAL ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION (ATHENA 2024)

/in , /by

The IEEE International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) 2024 invites researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to submit their original contributions to the workshop titled “Empowering 6G Networks: Workshop on Advancements in Research Infrastructures, Adaptive Frameworks, and Global Architectural Evolution.”

Workshop Scope:

The “Empowering 6G Networks” workshop, to be held at IEEE CAMAD 2024, is dedicated to exploring the vast potential of 6G technology and its impact on the future of communication. This workshop aims to serve as a crucible for innovative ideas, research findings, and discussions that will shape the trajectory of 6G development. The scope of this workshop encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, each pivotal to the realization of 6G’s promise.

At the core of the workshop’s scope is the advancement of research infrastructures. This includes the development of testbeds and simulation environments that mirror the complexity of real-world 6G scenarios. Such infrastructures are essential for validating the theoretical models and practical applications that will underpin 6G networks. They also provide a foundation for cross-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together experts in telecommunications, computer science, electrical engineering, and other fields to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Adaptive frameworks are another critical aspect of the workshop’s focus. As 6G networks will need to be inherently flexible to accommodate a wide range of applications and services, these frameworks will explore how networks can self-organize, heal, and optimize themselves in response to dynamic conditions. This includes the use of AI and machine learning to predict and respond to network demands, as well as the development of algorithms that can dynamically allocate resources in real-time.

The global architectural evolution of networks is also a central theme. The workshop will delve into how 6G networks can be architected to ensure seamless global connectivity, supporting the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous systems, and smart cities. Discussions will cover the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, the role of edge computing in reducing latency, and the use of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies to secure and manage network transactions.

Topics of Interest:

The “Empowering 6G Networks” workshop will focus on the latest advancements in 6G network research infrastructures, adaptive frameworks, and the evolution of global network architecture. This workshop will serve as a platform for discussing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the journey towards realizing the full potential of 6G networks.

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has not been previously published. Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE conference template and submitted through the EDAS submission portal. Detailed instructions and submission deadlines will be provided on the IEEE CAMAD 2024 website.

Important Dates:

  • Paper Submission Deadline: 30/6/2024
  • Acceptance Notification: 15/7/2024
  • Camera-Ready Submission: 22/7/2024

aerOS at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2024

/in /by

aerOS project was represented at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2024 by INFOLYSiS and Demokritos teams.

“A Proof of Concept Implementation of an AI-assisted User-Centric 6G Network”. Our partners were eager to share our latest advancements and collaborate with industry experts to shape the future of communications. The aerOS paper entitled “A Proof of Concept Implementation of an AI-assisted User-Centric 6G Network” was also presented in the context of the event.

The 2024 EuCNC & 6G Summit built on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. The conference was sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) and the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP), and focuses on all aspects of telecommunications ranging from 5G deployment and mobile IoT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation and testbeds, and applications and services. It brought together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 900 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, to present and discuss the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 50 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes.
