5G-CORAL 1st International Workshop on Edge and Fog Systems for 5G & Beyond @IEEE WCNC'18 - CfP ends on 12 November
2018-04-15 08:00 - 17:00
5G-CORAL is organising the 1st International Worlshop on Edge and Fog Systems for 5G & Beyond (IWEF) (April 15, 2018, Barcelona, Spain).

The First International Workshop on Edge and Fog Systems for 5G & Beyond (IWEF) will be held inBarcelona, Spain on April 15, 2018 in conjunction with IEEE WCNC 2018.
In addition to Clouds, the Edge and Fog are emerging as defining locations in 5G where much of the network intelligence and service innovation could also be envisioned. The move to the Edge was originally driven by the desire of operators and cloud providers to deliver low latency services and avert inevitable network congestion by keeping locally a huge amount of local traffic. The list of usages and opportunities brought by the Edge and Fog could only grow quickly especially when imagined with network softwarization tools of SDN and NFV. The move to the Edge has also helped the rediscovery of a wealth of dormant assets in the local access network. These dormant assets are essentially contextual information collected from the users, devices, and nodes. Putting this data on offer to application and service providers keen on optimizing and customizing their service delivery to the end customers proved compelling for all stakeholders.
The rich Edge and Fog ecosystem and bigger value one can deliver by interconnecting these with the cloud led to the launch of industry initiatives recently such as ETSI MEC and Open Fog Consortium. This workshop provides a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of delivering an integrated virtualized edge and fog system. Several challenges lie ahead such as: (1) Identifying which context information and what functions from each access network may be of value to host at the Edge either to improve own access network services or other services from other access networks separately or jointly; (2) Defining mechanisms to collect and deliver this context information where and when it is needed, as well as the placement and chaining of access network functions throughout the Edge; (3) Exploring which access network entities (including terminal devices) could offer their resources and capabilities to dynamically scale the integrated edge; (4) Designing automated and secure mechanisms to discover and federate all the edge resources which may be volatile/mobile, heterogeneous, not directly interconnected, and may belong to multiple owners; and (5) Defining all the interactions that need to be supported between the edge and non-edge domains such as the transport network, core network, and distant clouds.
This workshop will offer a keynote and solicit papers that address any of the abovementioned challenges.

2nd edition of the European Cyberweek 2017: cybersecurity of IoT
2017-11-27 08:30 - 17:00
This hight-level event, will feature a week-long agenda brought to you by French and European key stakeholders. The programme for the whole week is here.
On December 1st, 2017, the cybersecurity of Internet of Things conference will therefore examine the specificities of the Internet of things and propose ways to build a response adapted to justify trust in the future connected objects. You can register online here.
The Internet of things (IoT) uses advanced technologies in systems architectures, communications networks, protocols, data processing and storage. Its economic stakes are considerable and its development interests all sectors of activities: consumer markets, industry, services and utilities (energy, water treatment or transport). However, in all these areas, cybersecurity is a fundamental concern. The IoT, because of its connection to the IP world, its geographical scope and its scalability, presents specific vulnerabilities. By 2016, the attack has progressed faster than defense and new threats have emerged, facilitated by the proliferation and diversity of connected objects. The conference SEE 2017 will therefore examine the specificities of the Internet of things and propose ways to build a response adapted to justify trust in the future connected objects.
Recommendations based on the SEE IoT’18 Survey will be disclosed. The abstract of this Survey (in French only) can be downloaded here.

IEEE NFV-SDN 2017
2017-11-06 08:00 - 2017-11-07 17:00 | Fraunhofer FORUM Berlin, Anna- Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2 , Berlin, 10178, Germany
The 2017 IEEE Conference on Network Functions Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (IEEE NFV-SDN) will be held in November 6th to 8th, 2017 at the Fraunhofer Forum in Berlin, Germany. In addition to the latest NFV and SDN concepts and mechanisms, the 2017 IEEE NFV-SDN conference will focus on first operational results related to virtualized networks functions (VNFs) as well as describing new applications of VNFs which smarten networks and their usage.
Scope
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) enable rapid network and service innovation for all participants in the ecosystem. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, allowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are required and wherever they can be hosted. SDN allows programmability of the NFV networking infrastructure to support the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments including telecommunications networks, campus and enterprise networks, and data centers. The dramatic industry transformation implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact computing platforms and network architectures, but will also open up new avenues of research. Further, these technologies will accelerate the deployment of new capabilities to enable smart cities/homes/cars/businesses and green infrastructures. And we will see new types of user interfaces and physical system realizations.

Workshop Chairs: Ioannis Giannoulakis, NCSRD Greece – Evangelos Markakis, TEIC Greece – Josep Martrat, ATOS Spain – George Xilouris, NCSR Demokritos Greece – Anastasios Zafeiropoulos, UBITECH Greece – Carlos Jesus Bernardos Cano, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Spain.
The 4th Workshop on NFVPN takes place at Fraunhofer-Forum, Anna-Louisa Karsch Strasse 2, 10178 Berlin, Germany.

5G PPP phase 1 projects SONATA and 5GEx jointly organise the third IEEE Workshop on Orchestration for Software-Defined Infrastructures (O4SDI) with 5G PPP phase 2 project 5G-T. It addresses the challenges that will facilitate orchestration and programmability of generalized virtual functions in Software Defined Infrastructures (SDI), enabling cloud and network providers to deploy integrated services across different resource domains. Orchestration mechanisms will facilitate the live deployment and lifecycle management of these virtual elements, at the application level, the server level, and the network level within a single domain and across multiple domains. Without such orchestration it will not be possible to enable dynamic establishment of generalized virtual functions chains, according to service requirements. These challenges of orchestration are many-fold, with many open questions that need to be addressed in the areas of:

-Network “softwarization,” which requires unified management of computing, storage, and network resources for the effective deployment, lifecycle management, and run-time configuration of generalized virtual functions
-Abstraction models and open standard interfaces, needed for assuring vendor interoperability
-Adaptation and optimization mechanisms, which must be enforced at global and/or local level for coping with user demand, application requirements, resource unavailability, etc.
Workshop chairs: Stuart Clayman, University College London, UK -Walter Cerroni, University of Bologna, Italy – Barbara Martini, CNIT, Pisa, Italy – Federica Paganelli, CNIT, Firenze, Italy.
The 3rd IEEE Workshop in O4SDI takes place at Fraunhofer-Forum, Anna-Louisa Karsch Strasse 2, 10178 Berlin, Germany.

In addition, 5G-IA was asked to give a talk on 5G testbeds.

5G-IA @Visions for Future Communications Summit (Lisbon, 23-24 October 2017)

These sessions will be followed by a final session where the conclusions of these sessions will be summarized, and final presentations by research agencies such as the NSF and the EU R&D organization will share and discuss their visions of future communications research with the participants to identify new, “post 5G” R&D directions as well as gaps and opportunities to be addressed in future R&D programs.
Papers should be submitted before September 25th.

"Ready ‘n’ Go - 5G trials and testbeds" @WWRF'17
2017-10-18 - 2017-10-20 | CTTC, AVENIDA CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS 7, Castelldefels, 08860, Spain
The introduction of digital technologies is giving a major boost to societal and economic transformation. In the future, this will enhance our technical capacity to bring forth new and innovative products and services, in areas such as manufacturing, transport, energy, health, education and entertainment.
5G will be a key enabler of this transformation, coping with the different connectivity, storage and processing needs for each of these industry sectors. Therefore, a close interaction of vertical industries and 5G infrastructure stakeholders will be mutually beneficial. A fundamental point will be the validation of 5G technologies in a system-wide context, including multiple use cases, while supporting the requirements of these key vertical sectors.
WWRF is at the heart of this process, with its Vertical Industry Platforms creating a bridge between the ICT and vertical industries, and providing opportunities in its meetings to promote and discuss new trials and testbeds.
This year theme is around Ready’n’Go – 5G Trials and Testbeds. The meeting will emphasise technical capacities to bring forth new and innovative products and services, in verticals such as manufacturing, transport, energy, health, education and entertainment. 5G PPP Projects will be there (SONATA, 5GTANGO, 5GCAR, 5G-Crosshaul, 5G-Transformer…).
