New technologies, in particular artificial intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) are essential today for profiling users, in order to cope with their expectations to communicate "anywhere, anytime, on any device, for every service, with everyone ". 
It is important however to put the user at the center of the data system. Therefore, ETSI has developed a model allowing to design a user-centric digital clone for the smart identity, application independent, and leaving control of data to the user. This step will lead to the design of the Smart Interface.
In this webinar, the ETSI User Group will present their work and a Proof of Concept (POC), that demonstrates the possibility of digitizing personal information, by delivering the active user profile at any time.

This webinar will present the recently published ETSI GS MEC 040 specification, on “MEC Federation Enablement APIs”, which is critical to enable inter-MEC system communication and allow 5G operators to collaborate among themselves and with service cloud providers and other stakeholders. This new specification relates to the Telco Edge Cloud concept and the requirements introduced by GSMA OPG (Operator Platform Group), and it defines new APIs for the enablement of the MEC federation, by allowing operators to "federate" edge computing resources by offering their MEC service capabilities for: mutual consumption; application developers; and end customers (e.g. vertical market segments).

MEC Federation Enablement APIs: overview and instructions for use

This webinar offers an overview of the recently announced ETSI TeraFlowSDN release 2.0, and a demonstration of some of its latest features.

In this second TeraFlowSDN release, a big focus is put on scalability and resilience of the controller, with a complete re-design of the Context Component to include a scalable database (i.e., CrocoachDB) to support the stringent non-functional requirements. Also, a lot of attention is put on network automation, with the implementation of a long list of new workflows, including L3VPN establishment with SLA, multi-layer topology discovery, service Access Control List (ACL), service restoration, service location-awareness, traffic engineering, slice SLA enforcement, slice grouping, forecasting, inter-domain slice SLA enforcement, inter-domain connectivity provisioning and SLA enforcement using DLT, and Energy-aware network service placement.

During the webinar, some of the main TFS participants will introduce the highlights of the new TFS release along with some demonstrations of the new capabilities and use cases that the TFS community has been working on during this cycle:

OSM Release THIRTEEN overview

This Webinar is providing an overview on current initiatives by the European Commission driving a number of key policy initiatives related to Cybersecurity, Privacy, protection against fraud and Artificial Intelligence from a standardization point of view. In this context, new essential requirements are being introduced which are required to be met by equipment manufacturers in order to maintain continued access to the Single European market. A Delegated Act was issued related to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) invoking RED Articles 3(3)(d), 3(3)(e) and 3(3)(f) related to Cybersecurity, Privacy and protection against fraud respectively for radio equipment. In the context of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), a broad concept of “digital elements” is being introduced for which new essential requirements are being defined. CRA explicitly relates to software such as Operating Systems as well as hardware components such as Microprocessors and others. The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is furthermore providing a broad legal framework for future AI systems. The Webinar will enable the participant to understand the current status of the related activity and possibilities to influence the implementation of the regulation initiatives through participation in standardization activities.

Making the edge sharp and safe: update on MEC security
MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) environments are by nature characterized by a complex multi-vendor, multi-supplier, multi-stakeholder ecosystem of equipment including both HW and SW devices. Given this overall level of system heterogeneity, the areas of security, trust, and privacy are key topics for the edge environments. Finally, the advent of edge cloud federations and the presence of (far) edge devices, e.g. in Internet-of-Things environments, requires tackling MEC security with an end-to-end (E2E) approach by leveraging existing standards relevant in the area, carefully selected to be applicable in edge computing systems.

This webinar will offer an overview of MEC security, by providing an updated status from standards and industry groups, and exploring security-related use cases and requirements with the aim of identifying aspects of security where the nature of edge computing results in insufficient industry approaches to cloud security.  In particular, webinar attendees will find from speakers key interesting aspects, like security for MEC Federation, Infrastructure security and physical protection, Data protection, User security and Data security, Network Security Layer and Application Security Layer.

Making the edge sharp and safe: update on MEC security

XR systems embed many sensors to capture the real world in 3D. They use them mainly for localization and understanding purposes. But how to structure the captured representation of the real world in a way to provide interoperability among existing XR systems? This webinar will present you the recently published ETSI specifications and available tools to create, modify and store a world representation. The storage takes place as a shared graph on a remote server. With this approach, the world representation specification also supports the creation of large scale XR experiences.

Towards an interoperable world representation for XR

Part 1: IPv6 Enhanced Innovation Global Vision

The F5G network has three characteristics for extending and enhancing fixed networks, defined as eFBB, FFC and GRE. To implement these characteristics, the F5G architecture has introduced new design principles and new features. Such features include separation of the data plane into an Underlay Plane and a Service Plane, dual network fabrics for the Aggregation Network, comprising an IP/Ethernet and an OTN fabric, and the seamless and combined usage of PON and OTN, and E2E slicing. Based on these design principles and new features, F5G can provide a variety of services for residential and enterprise customers over one physical network with guaranteed SLAs. 

The webinar will provide brief introduction of the E2E F5G architecture and addressing the above mentioned features. Besides the network architecture, also the overall ISG F5G projects and its progress will be illustrated.

This presentation aims to introduce the concept of polymorphic intelligent network and provide several use cases to verify related functions:1. Demonstrate the use of intent-based interface to translate the network application requirement to different network modal configuration and support the coexistence and collaboration of polymorphic network; 2. Demonstrate the use of AI to realize adaptive adjustment and configuration between network resources and diversified services, optimize network structure, resource allocation, function management and service efficiency.
The current network mainly faced several challenges, such as rigid network structure, simple IP bearing, and difficulty in dealing with unknown threats. Based on above challenges, the goal of this PoC project is to realize polymorphic presentation of addressing and routing, and provide feasible design strategy for operators to automatically deploy network according to different types of business and application scenarios. PINet fundamentally meets the business requirement of network intelligence, diversification, personalization, high robustness and high efficiency.
