(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.

Clean air is a requirement for life, and the quality of indoor air is a health determinant since people spend most of their daily time indoors.

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.

Accelerators are essential for achieving optimal performance and energy efficiency in computing. However, market segmentation often leads to language lock-ins, limiting flexibility across accelerators and increasing development costs.

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.

The full deployment of sixth-generation (6G) networks is inextricably connected with a holistic network redesign able to deal with various emerging challenges, such as integration of heterogeneous technologies and devices, as well as support of latency and bandwidth demanding applications.

Following the Industry 4.0 vision of a full digitization of the industry, time-critical services and applications, allowing network infrastructures to deliver information with determinism and reliability, are becoming more and more relevant for a set of vertical sectors.

Network Applications is seen as a full-potential enabler for future vertical industries beyond current deployment. Therefore, it must be considered along with other 6G enabling technologies in the next-generation network architecture.

A trend in future networks (i.e., beyond 5G and 6G) is the increasing virtualization and disaggregation of networks (i.e., Open Radio Access Network, network function virtulization/software-defined networking, or disaggregated optical networks, among others).

Expectations are high for 5G, as it promises many benefits and new business opportunities for all stakeholders engaged in the creation and use of future networks and services.

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is experiencing a lack of interoperability across the multiple competing platforms that are available.
