Landscape and Gap Analysis

This document is part of a growing series designed to (a) create a dynamic overview of documents and activities relevant to standardisation, (b) identify gaps in the standardisation where additional activity would greatly aid deployment of technologies and interoperability within the EU and globally.This document considers the standardisation landscape for the technology areas applicable to Smart Cities. 

The Report provides an encompassing compilation of standardisation efforts underway in the framework of European SDOs, such as CEN and ETSI, Government, Public Bodies and Agencies, such as the European Commission, the European Data Portal, European Parliament and the HLEG-AI and JRC, Global SDOs and initiatives, such as IEC, IEEE, ISO/IEC, ITU-T, WEF, W3C, as well as non-EU, country-specific contributions including China, Germany, Japan, UK and USA and relevant contributions from other organisations (BDVA, G20, Khronos, OECD, SAE International).

This report is the official Road Map analysis from the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on AI. It builds on a strong consensus of over 80 experts. The Focus Group has established an overall framework for European AI standardization, by developing a high-level vision (chapter 1.2).

This vision is applicable for the whole AI ecosystem and aims at supporting the European AI industry and mitigate risks for European citizens. The Road Map creates an overview of existing standardization activities in IEEE, ETSI, ISO/IEC, ITU-T and CEN-CENELEC (chapter 1.3 and Annex B). As part of this landscape analysis a total of 29 use cases were submitted from CEN-CENELEC TCs to the Focus Group.

This report outlines nine potential signature initiatives for Europe: bold actions that set a high bar and that directly address the four objectives for Europe’s digital transformation. This report summarises the outcome of the study Shaping the digital transformation in Europe performed by McKinsey for the Directorate-General of Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT).

Vertical stakeholders often have significant problems in orienting themselves within the standardisation landscape. An introductory guide to the standards groups, destined in particular to accompany the online standardisation tracker, has been prepared and will go online as part of the Global5G.org mission to assist verticals in representing their interests within the standardisation groups.

Together with the 5G Infrastructure Association, Global5G.org leading activities in a new Task Force set up with the Market Representation Partners of 3GPP acting as a catalyst for boosting vertical industry participation in 5G standardisation. The standards tracker is online to assist verticals in orienting themselves in 3GPP standardisation.

A joint-effort between ITU and over 35 other UN agencies and bodies, and all partners of 2019's AI for Good Global Summit, this report provides information about the diverse and innovative activities related to artificial intelligence (AI) across the UN system to meet many of our world's increasingly urgent challenges, from responding to humanitarian crises to tackling climate change.

This White Paper explores key issues of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that present both huge opportunities and new challenges for information and communication technologies (ICT).

This reports are intended to serve as a comprehensive resource for the blockchain community and beyond to assess the current landscape and evaluate where there may be gaps, overlaps, inconsistencies and conflicts.

This report is an update of the ENISA 5G Threat Landscape, published in its first edition in 2019. This document is a major update of the previous edition. It encompasses all novelties introduced, it captures developments in the 5G architecture and it summarizes information found in standardisation documents related to 5G.

This report introduces an approach for the definition and identification of key gaps in several initiatives. Based on the prioritisation of these gaps, the deliverable starts to address the work done within the relevant SDOs that need to cooperate in order to solve these gaps.
