SONATAI 2nd workshop is a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss novel ideas, solutions and results aiming to support the requirements of emerging and challenging applications on future generation network architectures.

The virtualization paradigm in key areas such as networking and services has created the grounds for applications in demanding scenarios. Technologies like Software Defined Networks (SDN), Service Function Chaining (SFC), Container Network Function (CNF), and Virtual Network Function (VNF) are key enablers for the support of critical services. In such context, IoT applications, aligned with the virtualization paradigm, and Federated AI models enable mission critical services in “edge-cloud continuum” scenarios, with stringent requirements in terms of latency, resilience and security.
