The workshop aimed to bridge research results with standardization efforts, focusing on enabling technologies for 5G mobile systems, future network architecture, and virtualization techniques. Expert speakers presented visions and policies regarding the standardization ecosystem, supported by live demonstrations and poster sessions that facilitated networking. The event identified specific areas for new ETSI activities, including fog and edge computing extensions to existing NFV and MEC work, cross-domain orchestration, and x-hauling solutions that combine front-haul and back-haul. Additionally, the discussions highlighted tactile networking as a key field requiring ultra-low latency, high availability, and enhanced security.
