SUMMARY:CELTIC AI-NET Kick-Off Event
DESCRIPTION:New Flagship-project AI-NET for Accelerating Digital Transformation in Europe with Intelligent Network Automation\nDigital transformation is ongoing in many areas of today’s society\, which will impact many aspects of people’s lives via means such as smart cities\, robotic\, transportation\, and next-generation industries. At the same time\, the current centralized cloud infrastructure is not adequate to serve the transformation’s requirements. We believe that three technologies can come together to shape a new secure service and application platform; 5G\, edge-centric compute & artificial intelligence. In this context\, European industry has a good position in 5G networks\, transportation and industrial applications\, but need to strengthen the position in a secure cloud\, data centre and artificial intelligence technologies to be at the front of the development. The primary objective of the AI-NET project is to provide enablers and solutions for high-performance services deployed and operated at the network edge. To manage complexity\, we need to take advantage of artificial intelligence to complement traditional optimisation algorithms. \nThe Kick-Off Event of this important European Flagship Project will take place on 1st of June 2021 as an online event. Participants will include high level representatives from industry and public funding organisations. The focus on this event will be on how AI-NET will contribute to achieving the important goal of accelerating the digital transformation in Europe with intelligent network automation. \nThe project consortium will present their ambitions and show how European enterprises\, critical infrastructure and data centres will be connected through enhanced transport networks and improved networking concepts that will results in reinforced overall security. This project targets a European solution for better control of data flows and new security concepts in the Internet. \nAI-NET is a 80 million euro public-private partnership project comprising three sub-projects with 90 companies\, research organisations\, and universities from Germany\, Sweden\, Finland\, France\, United Kingdom\, Netherlands and Poland. The AI-NET project is running under CELTIC-NEXT\, the EUREKA Cluster for Next Generation Communications for a secured\, trusted\, and sustainable digital society\, and is partly publicly funded by the research ministries/ agencies BMBF (Germany)\, VINNOVA (Sweden)\, Business Finland (Finland)\, and Innovate UK (United Kingdom). \nAgenda:\n09.00-09:15 CEST \nOpening by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)\, Germany: \nProf. Dr.-Ing.
