4TU.NIRICT proposal led by Blas Gómez and Syllas Magalhães funded

The research project “AGORA-6G: Reproducible and Governable Open RAN Testbeds for AI-Native 6G” led by the DACS postdoctoral researchers Blas Gómez and Syllas Magalhães, has been awarded 42.280 euros from the 4TU.NIRICT research funding programme.

AGORA-6G is a transdisciplinary initiative uniting partners across all four technical universities (TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, University of Twente, and Wageningen University & Research) to address a key challenge in next-generation networks: making AI-in-the-loop 6G experimentation “trustworthy, reproducible, and comparable across labs and time.” To that end, AGORA-6G will develop a reproducibility disclosure standard, an open-source front-end for experiment automation, and cross-site replication studies, while expressing testbeds as “declarative, citable artifacts” using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). All tools, datasets, and models will be openly released.

In addition, AGORA-6G will extend MintEDGE, an open-source edge computing simulator, to allow for large-scale AI simulation and will organise a workshop on IaC for testbed replicability.
