Data-Centric Software Development in Next Generation Networks

Pre-Event Session on 12.02.2025 - 15:30 - 16:30 

Two years ago the 5G Playground Carinthia introduced their research facility, gave a overview about the gigabit topic and how to adapt state-of-the-art applications offered by next-generation communication networks.

In the meantime a lot has happend - so it is time for an update by:

Helmut Wöllik/Carinthia University of Applied Sciences: Introduction and reasons for distributing applications

Autonomous systems are becoming increasingly common and often require extremely low latencies. However, many of these systems rely on mobile networks, leading to high delays due to communication through the core network. Using a specific example (Klagenfurt – Vienna – Klagenfurt), this session will demonstrate the latency in a centralized network and how it can be significantly reduced through local processing.

Alice Li / Huawei Technologies UK: Overview of 5G architecture and where infrastructure can be integrated

The ETSI-MEC architecture enables edge computing to reduce latency and improve performance in distributed applications. This session will explain how MEC addresses the challenges of high network delays, demonstrate how developers can utilize its interfaces for application distribution, and showcase real-world examples of its implementation.

Christoph Uran / Carinthia University of Applied Sciences: Adaptive Data Streaming and its uses in various scenarios

This talk explores adaptive data streaming, starting with sensor virtualization. It compares continuous high-resolution streaming with selective data transmission, discussing the pros and cons of encoding and compression techniques. Attendees will be introduced to ASF, see performance measurements, and learn about various practical usage scenarios.
