The 5G-IANA platform: Bringing far-edge resources and ML potential to the disposal of automotive third parties

The advent of 5G has been a game-changer in the Automotive Vertical sector. 5G acts as an enabler of advanced networking architectures which, in turn, allow the development of novel services, by attracting and engaging third parties to experiment using available 5G infrastructure and connectivity. 5GIANA is a Horizon 2020 ICT-41 project that targets to create such an advanced open experimentation platform, bringing powerful novelty to third parties through the integration and provisioning of far-edge resources for network orchestration purposes, and through the offering of Machine Learning knowledge as an addon service to them. The scope of this paper is, therefore, to present the 5G-IANA project's overall goals, by emphasizing the most important expected innovations from the project regarding far-edge resources’ orchestration and ML as a service provisioning.
