6G-INTENSE Project 5th Plenary Meeting | Thessaloniki, Greece , July 7–8, 2026

Day 1 –Native AI, Network-Compute Fabric, and Integration Progress 

The first day opened with welcome remarks from the host, followed by project management, coordination, and reporting updates. An overview of the project’s technical progress provided the foundation for in-depth discussions on the latest developments across the project’s core technical work packages.

Key technical sessions included:

  • WP3 – Native AI Toolkit for Zero-Touch Operations, covering:

    • LLM-driven machine reasoning for intent decomposition
    • Hierarchical reinforcement learning for intent propagation and conflict resolution
    • Federated domain edge intelligence and knowledge optimisation
    • Domain Manager and Orchestrator (DMO) implementation and Native AI integration

    WP4 – Network-Compute Fabric for 6G Networks, focusing on:

    • Network-Compute abstraction frameworks
    • Dependable sensing and actuation for the deep edge
    • SD-WAN-based CEC interconnection
    • Integration of DMO with Network-Compute abstraction frameworks

 

Day 2 – Experimentation, Validation, and Project Impact 

The second day continued with technical discussions on experimentation and validation activities before shifting the focus towards dissemination, standardisation, and exploitation planning.

Discussions focused on:

  • WP5 – Integration and Use Case Validation, including:

    • Experimentation platform setup and software integration
    • Technology validation and dataset generation in laboratory environments
    • Performance evaluation and KPI/KVI collection

    WP6 – Dissemination, Communication, Standardisation, and Exploitation, addressing:

    • Ongoing dissemination, communication, and outreach activities
    • Progress on standardisation contributions
    • Exploitation planning and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management

The plenary concluded with a shared roadmap for the next implementation phase, reinforcing collaboration across partners and aligning technical, validation, and impact activities as the project continues advancing AI-native, intent-driven solutions for future 6G networks.
