Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Augusto Neto - E2E Slice Lifecycle Management
Title: E2E Slice Lifecycle Management: A Unified Vision for Telco-Cloud Ecosystems
This lecture presents a unified vision for E2E slice lifecycle management in Telco-Cloud ecosystems, covering the entire process from preparation and commissioning to operation, maintenance, and decommissioning beyond current standards and tools. The talk discusses architectural principles, orchestration challenges, and emerging approaches for integrating heterogeneous resources into cohesive, automated workflows. Real-world experiences and experimental results will be presented to illustrate how unified management frameworks can reduce operational complexity, improve resource efficiency, and accelerate service delivery across distributed multi-domain environments.
