The telecom sector continues its transition towards virtualizing infrastructure. The digitalization of assets and their commercialization in a marketplace is expected to play a central role in 6G networks.

Nowadays, to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, a seamless convergence between the different cloud domains (edge, edge and cloud) is key for industries to have a cloud-native intelligent orchestration layer capable of establishing the necessary mechanisms to ensure continuity of services as data m

In industrial environments, cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT) converge, with the need to manage complex and diverse computing environments for service and infrastructure providers, a process called cloud continuum.

"Critical infrastructure operators across Europe must prepare their facilities, equipment, and personnel to operate under more strenuous conditions in a warming climate. 

The feature extraction capabilities of Machine Learning (ML) models have led to their wide adoption in a large variety of sectors: from anomaly detection for machinery, to user clustering and behavioral prediction, market trends predictions, or the analysis of text, sound, and image data.

This is the second document of a series of three defining a reference architecture for the continuum. In the previous one, different building blocks were identified setting the path for the different aspects to be taken into account while defining the architecture.

This is the last document of a series of 3 for designing a Reference Architecture for the continuum. The first document of the series presented an initial version of a common taxonomy, considering it as a unified language for all actors of the value chain.

It is widely known that we are living through a historic moment in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), capturing the attention of the entire world with spectacular results across multiple application fields, especially in text and image generation.

Artificial intelligence helps coordinate precision agriculture tasks

"Risk and resilience are interconnected concepts. In fact, one of our goals in SUNRISE is to integrate resilience metrics with risk metrics.

In the world of finance, where every decision can have significant ramifications, the possibility of predicting market movements is invaluable. Traditionally, analysts have relied on a combination of data analysis, market trends, and expert insights to make informed predictions.

The CROSSCON is a research project that targets developing research ideas into practical techniques and supporting prototypes, and the level of ambition is to validate results in lab conditions that are representative of a complex IoT system (i.e., technology readiness levels TRL 4 and TRL5).

In recent years, the development and refinement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have revolutionised various fields, including computer vision.
