Reliable Services Operation
The focus of this topic is on several complementary areas mentioned below and applicants may select one or more of these areas:
- Automation and Intelligence in security operations, including, but not limited to, end-to-end attack detection and response in 6G with secure AI, mechanisms to ensure fully resilient infrastructures and services using self-healing and proactive defence methods, development of a dedicated Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) platform specifically tailored to the 6G.
- Service development methodologies, which inherently are able to support non-trustable providers and build reliable end-to-end services reliant in a variety of infrastructure providers, with different levels of reliability.
- Novel instantiation methodologies for run-time dynamics of service provision. New interfaces are expected to be proposed and developed, able to support the development of optimal algorithms addressing energy efficiency, privacy aspects, and AI-usage limitations. Technologies to increase the user ability to select the best solutions to cater to their needs are in scope.
- Interfaces, protocols and mechanisms to achieve cooperative remediation of various type of failures/attacks.
- Multistakeholder service auditing mechanisms, able to provide near-real-time information on the performance of the system(s), at different levels, from the end-user to the large network providers.
Note: Applicants should clearly identify the areas/priorities they address in case they only cover a subset.
