Final project report on the status of WP4 - Part 1

This deliverable will be the technical report that communicates the final outcome of WP4 (part 1). This includes the following sections and results: (1) A data management framework for AI environments (UCC)This deliverable section will be a software system that provides applications at the edge nodes with access to data while ensuring data availability, co-location, replication, provenance and other capabilities as defined in the task.(2) Encapsulation of data sovereignty with data access APIs (LUH)This deliverable section will be a software system that is able to encapsulate a given dataset so that its usages are defined, agreed upon in advance, and controlled during the utilization time. The software guarantees that the data can only be used for the purposes defined and only by the target audience. The software provides access to the contained data only through its defined APIS.(3) Data handling in edge nodes (NEC)This deliverable section will consist of dataset generation to serve as inputs for AI-bound use cases, as well as software systems for their resource-efficient ingestion and processing at the edge.(4) vRAN optimizations based on AI/ML use-cases analysis (ISW)This deliverable section will identify optimization strategies for vRAN, based on the contextual information produced by the AI/ML models delivered in the work package.
