UK university contributes key autonomous networks effort
The University of Glasgow is highlighting the “key role” its researchers have played in the development of newly agreed international standards for autonomous networks.

According to a statement from the university, the Autonomous Networks - Architecture Framework (Y.3061) received official consent at the International Telecommunications Union’s ITU-T SG13 meeting in Geneva last November. It has now been officially adopted as an international standard.
The University’s Dr Paul Harvey co-chairs a focus group working on the standards, known as the ITU-T Focus Group on Autonomous Networks. The group’s work “studies the technical enablers, use cases, interoperable architecture, trustworthiness, and proof-of-concepts necessary to create telecoms networks which can operate with minimal human intervention.”
A spokesperson for the university said: “Widespread adoption of the standard could enable a new generation of networks which use emergent and generative AI-driven approaches to monitor their own operations and adapt to solve technical problems, on-demand and beyond pre-defined design bounds.
"These faster, more resilient networks could support a wide range of more advanced communications technologies beyond the current capabilities of 5G devices and systems. Those improved networks could underpin advances in technologies including self-driving cars, remote medicine, and industrial automation.”
