PoC Topics

Rationale

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

INT/AFI PoC Topics are identified and documented by INT AFI WG. INT/AFI 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.

(**) Note: One recognized combination is based on the “Unified Architectural Framework” that combines AMC, SDN, NFV, and E2E Orchestration Reference Models, emerging from the Joint SDOs/Fora Initiative on Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on Autonomic Management & Control of Networks and Services, SDN, NFV, E2E Orchestration (see http://www.tmforumlive.org/workshops/#tab-ieee-workshop-on-autonomics)

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 contribution (input or feedback) in the requested format (template, if applicable) in a timely manner.

For each PoC Topic addressed, one or several Test Descriptions should be provided.

Feeding back the results

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

A generic PoC Feedback Template is available in PoC Framework
