(TO BE PUBLISHED SOON) This paper introduces a new service and security orchestration solution designed to help operators and security providers establish a trust-based relationship in a multi-stakeholder environment.

This blogpost explains how the FAME Marketplace offers pre-built analytical tools for effective customer segmentation, and explore two use cases: improving financial recommendations and developing loyalty programs for parking in Athens.

Given nowadays increasing complexity of software systems, their architectural design prior to their actual implementation becomes quite complicated.

In today’s ever-changing technological landscape, companies are constantly looking for innovative ways to increase efficiency and minimize costs, and even more nowadays with the advent of artificial intelligence and large language models.

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.

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.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum (IECC), effective management of computational tasks offloaded from mobile devices to edge nodes is crucial.

The term ‘Dynamic Heterogeneous Computing Sphere’ is used to describe a computing paradigm that is heterogeneous, volatile and highly dynamic.

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.

The upcoming sixth-generation (6G) networks are expected to be more heterogeneous, scalable, reliable, secure and energy-efficient.

Telecommunication networks are undergoing a significant shift from closed and proprietary systems towards open and interoperable networks. This transition allows for greater flexibility and reduced dependence on single providers.

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.
