The rapid pace of academic production — driven largely by data-intensive methods and the fast adoption of AI/ML — makes validation ever more challenging. SLICES-RI is the first initiative desig ned as a sustainable scientific instrument under the European ESFRI framew ork. SLICES-RI is intent-driven and supports the complete lifecycle of exp erimental research—from concept to reproducible deployment—by enabling experiments to be executed over its infrastructure through standardized b lueprints\, and by systematically collecting\, archiving\, and documenting all outputs following a rigorous methodology. A key challenge today lies in creating a seamless\, continuous mechanism that can translate scientifi c excellence into competitive advantage at the pace of innovation. SLICES- RI addresses this by going beyond the mere provision of advanced technolog y — most importantly\, it enables virtual access through an open data ma nagement infrastructure and well-defined workflows. In addition\, we argue that the importance of data\, scale and diversity\, motivates the interes t for building foundation models that will definitely have a strong transf ormative role in the design of open research infrastructures.\nSLICES-RI i s the appropriate environment for designing\, testing and assessing such n etwork foundation models. This talk will present the SLICES instrument\, i ts community\, academic engagement\, and roadmap\, highlighting its openne ss and its strong potential for collaboration. The SLICES-RI "Beyond 5G Bl uePrint" will illustrate the talk with practical examples.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CNAM\, Equipe ROC\n\nSpeaker(s): Serge Fdida\, \n\nBldg: Auditorium G aston Planté\, CNAM\, 2 rue Conté\, Paris\, Ile-de-France\, France\, 75003\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/520156 LOCATION:Bldg: Auditorium Gaston Planté\, CNAM\, 2 rue Conté\, Paris\, Ile-de-France\, France\, 75003\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/ m/520156 ORGANIZER:bernadette.bouchon-meunier@lip6.fr SEQUENCE:31 SUMMARY:Séminaire « SLICES\, Your Scientific Instrument to support Future Networked System Research » - Serge Fdida URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/520156 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>S&eacute\;minaire &laquo\; SLICES\ , Your Scientific Instrument to support Future Networked System Research & raquo\;\, par Serge Fdida (Sorbonne Université\, France)&nbsp\;<br></str ong></p>\n<p><em>R&eacute\;sum&eacute\;</em> : The scientific community wo rking on next-generation networks and systems increasingly lacks advanced\ , sustainable open tools to validate research\, accelerate discovery throu gh data sharing\, and support reproducibility.
