SLICES-RI

Colosseum, the world’s largest radio frequency emulator and open testbed, has announced the integration of support for the deployment of the SLICES-RI Beyond 5G blueprint. This development was demonstrated at the recent National Science Foundation (NSF) MERIF workshop, highlighting the blueprint capabilities and the collaborative efforts behind this initiative. SLICES-RI is designed as a scientific instrument under the umbrella of ESFRI - European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures. SLICES-RI blueprint, intends to facilitate advanced research in future network and communication infrastructures by providing a structured approach to deploying and managing experimental network environments. By integrating this blueprint into Colosseum’s framework, users can now leverage Colosseum’s advanced emulation capabilities to implement and evaluate the SLICES-RI architecture in a controlled, realistic environment. This integration represents a significant step in aligning international research efforts and fostering interoperability across testbed platforms. Colosseum, as an open testbed, continues to cater to a diverse range of research communities by supporting the deployment of standardized frameworks and blueprints. This collaboration underscores Colosseum’s and SLICES-RI's commitments to advancing experimentation in next-generation wireless networks and radio frequency systems, ensuring that researchers from academia, industry, and government can efficiently utilize these testbed’s unique capabilities.

✨ Spotlight on Success: Raft for Cloud Continuum ✨ We are excited to highlight a fantastic achievement from another one of our Open Call winners, featuring the "Raft for Cloud Continuum" project by the innovative team at PANGAEASA. The #cloud continuum, spanning from centralized cloud #data centers to #IoT devices, is paving the way for the next wave of data-driven applications. At the heart of this transformation are consensus protocols, like Raft, which ensure smooth coordination across geo-distributed sites. PANGAEASA's groundbreaking work focuses on enhancing the Raft leader election mechanism for optimal system availability while addressing scalability challenges. 💡 Head over to https://lnkd.in/dH3Hzq9t to learn more about this groundbreaking project.

An excellent key note speach #SLICES summner schhol in Lipari by Larry Peterson on Democratizing #5G - Open Source and More, followed by discussion.

#SLICES summer school provides dedicated hands-on training and sessions to permit the students to gain concrete experience through practical projects with SLICES tools. The #SLICES team presented the opportunities and assigned the projects for the hand-on training to the students.

🌞Excited to announce the start of the SLICES-RI Summer School 2024!🌞 In collaboration with the Università di Catania, we are hosting this event from 8-12 July in Lipari, #Italy. The focus is on "Open and Programmable 6G Networks in the Cloud/Edge Continuum: Research Challenges and Experimentation Tools in SLICES Research Infrastructures." Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of enabling technologies and research challenges in #6G systems, enjoy practical tutorials on network and distributed systems #programming, orchestration, and virtualization, and benefit from expert lectures on network sensing, distributed intelligence at the edge, #AI and networking, and disaggregated programmable networks. We will also delve into the tools and methodologies provided by SLICES-RI for groundbreaking research in computing and networking. A warm welcome to all the participants! 👏 #horizoneurope #research #education #technology #summerschool
