Accelerating the use of digital twins, as the existence of the semantic repository allows the digital twin to manage semantics while the physical twin is managing data. This methodology will ensure a consistent continuum between the physical twin and the digital twin.

The following impacts are identified at a general level:
The Internet of Things (IoT) addresses many societal challenges including climate change, resource and energy efficiency and ageing.
In the emerging IoT economy, voluntary global standards can accelerate adoption, drive competition, and enable cost-effective introduction of new technologies.
Standardisation facilitates the interoperability, compatibility, reliability, security and efficiency of operations on a global scale among different technical solutions, stimulating industry innovation and providing greater clarity to technology evolution.
Interoperability between IoT networks operated by different companies along the value chain opens up opportunities to address EU Policy objectives, e.g. greater resource efficiency for a more circular economy, sustainable and responsible supply chains through transparency and traceability, and others

The number of connected devices is expected to exceed 20 billion by 2020. This market will be fostered by proper interoperability standards. Europe is strong in IoT innovation and has made significant technical contributions (AIOTI) including in some specific standardization contexts. AIOTI now has a recognized presence at the ISO level, and it is now key to concretize this presence so that European innovation is well represented.

My project aligns with the EU's ICT Rolling Plan, emphasising the enhancement of cybersecurity and the development of a resilient, secure digital infrastructure. By focusing on advanced AC techniques rooted in ZTA, the project supports the EU's commitment to integrating ZTA principles into critical infrastructure.

The outcomes of this activity are very important for the robotics industry because it tackles concepts very close to real world deployment of robots to perform tasks, autonomously, within a robot group, and/or cooperating and/or collaborating with humans. This is a clear evolution of the IEEE RAS standards portfolio (previously focused on high-level concepts and definitions) and a valuable contribution to the robotics standards landscape in Europe and worldwide.

The following objectives of the NIST MDKP GAFB Specification provide unique Use Cases for 5G, 6G and Future Networks:
“Requirements for Enablers for Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility” that facilitate the leveraging of dynamic resources and assets availability in various sector domains when they are discoverable for use in dynamic on-demand network(s) and differentiated connectivity services formations; and/or application-layer service innovation, composition and delivery using the newly formed networks and connectivity services or ones already available such that they can serve the needs of the targeted application layer service(s).
New ecosystem on Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility (i.e., coined the “MD_KPs_Feds_For_5GnB ” Ecosystem) in which ETSI GANA Knowledge Plane (KP) Platforms (based on the ETSI TS 103 195-2) as Distributed Open Platforms (DOPs) that enable federated Autonomic/Autonomous Networking (ANs) should play role as anchors for the ecosystem, together with DOPs on the higher level, namely: Service Federation Orchestration & Autonomic Management & Control Platforms that dynamically place demands for differentiated and federated network connectivity services on the GANA (KP) Platforms.

This NIST MDKP PWG initiative presents a tremendous opportunity for the adoption and use of global standards developed in Europe by ETSI in the USA market to steer commerce and open up new collaborations opportunities between USA and Europe stakeholders for commerce and innovation of services and GANA KP Platforms products by industrial players in these markets. This also has an effect of strengthening Europe's position in global standardisation initiatives thanks to the adoption of ETSI standards in US for global reach and use outside Europe. A New Ecosystem is emerging from the NIST Specifications which have potential to reduce Carbon Emissions, thanks to Nework Sharing.
