ASSIST-IoT
AI Application in Next Generation Programmable Networks
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can provide an effective solution for dynamic and automated network resource management in Software Defined Networking (SDN). In this contribution, we propose an auto-configuration enabler inside the next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) architecture proposed in the ASSIST-IoT project, for network resource allocation. The AI algorithm is responsible for controlling intent-based routing in an SDN network. This paper focuses on the problem of optimal intent switching between two designated paths using a Deep-Q-Learning approach based on an artificial neural network.

The GWEN is a modular gateway, provided by Neways, to enable multiple communication techniques by means of module boards or USB dongles. Because of its modular design, modules can be swapped and specs can be adjusted according to needs, this way the GWEN can be tailored to fit practically any situation/requirement of ASSISt-IoT pilots.
The 5th ASSIST-IoT GA meeting and the second face-to-face meeting took place on October 2022, in CIOP-PIB’s premises in Warsaw. The meeting lasted for three days (19th -21st October) and was held in two parallel tracks, focusing the discussion on several technical activities/tasks and on more general aspects such as impact, Open Calls, and pilots’ status. Partners also had the chance to visit a construction site in Lodz and see details about the implementation phase.
The 2nd ASSIST-IoT Open Call is officially announced and starts at 1st of July 2022! The ASSIST-IoT project has reserved part of the project budget to fund specific activities in order to enhance and improve IoT features and applications and boost the NGIoT community across Europe. Third parties are expected to come along and carry out relevant actions during the project’s life cycle. 
ASSIST-IoT proudly announces the 7 ASSIST-IoT OC1 winners. Thank you all participants for submitting their proposals! In total 37 Open Call proposals were received from 13 countries, out of which, after a detailed evaluation period, 7 Open Call proposals have been selected as the winning ones.
The 1st ASSIST-IoT Open Call closed on Monday 28th of February 2022. The express of interest was really high and in total 37 open call proposals were submitted. Notifications on funding or rejections will be sent out to all participants together with any feedback, by May 19th 2022.
The 1st ASSIST-IoT Open Call is still open! ASSIST-IoT Open Call aims at funding innovative proposals that will enhance ASSIST-IoT objectives framed within one (out of its three) pilot(s). In particular, Open Call proposals are expected to address one specific challenge out of a list of possible challenges formulated by each pilot. Third parties are expected to come along and carry out relevant actions during the project’s life cycle. You may submit your proposal up to 28 February 2022 17:00 CET.
