PoC Topics

Rationale

ZSM PoC Topics are specific areas, often linked to a Work Item, where input or feedback from the ZSM Proofs of Concept is needed. ZSM PoC Topics help to focus PoC Projects on the most relevant topics for the ISG ZSM, and to increase the relevance of their contributions.

ZSM PoC Topics are identified and documented by ISG ZSM. ZSM PoC Topics may include templates for the PoC Contributions and deadlines to ensure that the PoC Contributions arrive on-time to be taken into account by the targeted WIs.

ZSM PoC Topics

• Topic 1 - Demonstration of ZSM Scenarios (OBSOLETE)
• Topic 2 - Automation in Multi-Stakeholder Ecosystems (ACTIVE)
• Topic 3 - Intent-driven Closed-Loop automation (ACTIVE)
• Topic 4 - Topic 4 - Cross-domain user-driven E2E services (ACTIVE)

Addressing a PoC Topic in a PoC Project

PoC Teams specify the targeted PoC Topic(s) in their PoC Proposal, and commit to provide the expected input or feedback in the requested format (template, if applicable) in a timely manner.

Feeding back the results

As soon as experimental results relevant for a given ZSM PoC Topic are available (no need to wait for the PoC Project to be completed), the PoC Team creates a contribution and informs the ISG ZSM by email (if the PoC Topic had a specific template for feedback contributions, this should be used). PoC Teams are also encouraged to contribute additional results and lessons learned during the PoC Project to the ISG ZSM.
