IoT and Edge Computing EU Funded Projects Landscape

The integration and synergy of IoT/IIoT and edge computing, including also the applied federated learning solutions, can be considered as a part of the paradigm shift from centralised solutions to decentralised and distributed computing architectures. The main objective of this deliverable is to briefly present the EU funded projects focusing on IoT and edge computing, which can be used to:
1) Leverage on existing IoT and edge computing research and innovation activities in
Europe, and
2) Provide input to IoT and edge computing standardisation gap analysis activities.
This report provides landscape visualizations of ongoing and completed projects focusing on IoT and Edge computing that are funded by the EU. For each of these EU funded completed and ongoing projects, two groups of landscape visualisations are realised, based on (1) Technology and Marketing Dimensions and (2) vertical industry domains.

AI/ML as a KEY ENABLER of 6G NETWORKS

AI/ML as a KEY ENABLER of 6G NETWORKS: Methodology, Approach and AI-Mechanisms in the SNS JU White Paper

This white paper is produced by the SNS JU Technology Board (TB), which is the main collaborative body of SNS JU technical experts, and aims to introduce the work taking place within the SNS JU projects, relevant to AI/ML. An overview of the projects is provided while details and statistics about the AI/ML based solutions developed within the SNS JU are also presented including the goal of the AI mechanisms, the learning type & method, the network segment they are implemented on, characteristics of the AI models used and information about the training data sets and the output of the mechanisms. It is the hope of the SNS JU TB that this paper will assist in the understanding of the work performed within the SNS JU on the very important topic of AI, promote the AI solutions developed in Europe and foster synergies with other global AI and 6G experts.
