6G-XCEL project seeks to provide a framework and tools for research and development of decentralized AI methods for network control extending across radio and optical networks and network domains, which we refer to as a ‘multi-network’ approach. In particular, it will build on the O-RAN architecture approach as an open source platform supporting multi-party applications (xApps/rApps) in a RIC. The focus is to study the practical use of such controls and their potential for 6G networks.
SYNAPSE is a European project that brings together 14 entities from different countries (Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, Cyprus, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland) to provide an integrated cybersecurity risk management and resilience platform. This platform, attractive for many critical infrastructures, must integrate all those mechanisms that allow addressing the three essential pillars of SYNAPSE: Situational awareness (Pillar-I), incident response (Pillar-II) and preparedness (Pillar-III). To achieve this, multiple technologies, techniques, tools and methodologies are widely considered to drive and foster these 3 pillars, and in some way promote dynamic risk management, proactive detection, monitoring and tracking of attacks, and response against potential threats, offering guarantees of business continuity at all times.
