Enhancing GSMA Operator Platform Group Standards to Enable Seamless Application Mobility in Multi-Domain Multi-Access Edge Computing Networks

The emergence of multi-access edge computing (MEC) promised to facilitate convenient access to services for mobile users via edge networks. Frequently, these users are on the move, switching between operator network domains. At the network level, this is addressed via the well-known “roaming” facility offered by operators. At the application level, i.e., in terms of providing application services to users, this is being addressed via the GSMA Alliances' Operator Platform Group (OPG) initiative. One of the key aims of this initiative is to facilitate interoperability between operator networks in order to enable MEC. In particular, seamless migration and placement of services across edge nodes situated within multiple operator network domains would be essential to facilitate multi-operator MEC. To that end, in this position paper, we define this crucial research issue, present its various dimensions, and propose an architecture and solution approach to solve this issue. We also show how our architecture and approach can be used to enhance the emerging GSMA OPG standards.

Research: The Average Age of a Successful Startup Founder Is 45

It’s widely believed that the most successful entrepreneurs are young. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg were in their early twenties when they launched what would become world-changing companies. Do these famous cases reflect a generalizable pattern? In fact, the average age of entrepreneurs at the time they founded their companies is 42. But what about the most successful startups? Is it possible that companies started by younger entrepreneurs are particularly successful? Research shows that among the top 0.1% of startups based on growth in their first five years, the founders started their companies, on average, when they were 45 years old.

Everything I've Learned from Growing My Startup to 10 Million Users with $0 in Funding

Fifteen years of business. Ten million users, $0 in funding -- a founder shares his biggest lessons.

Experts often advise entrepreneurs to pair up, but there’s so much freedom in going it alone.

It takes longer to hit cruising altitude.

You can start slowly and fund your growth with profits.

You can’t launch a business and wait for customers to show up like trick-or-treaters on Halloween. They need a reason to care; something that’s unique, intriguing, fresh or surprising.

Don’t waste time worrying about those media-darling founders or what your MBA classmates have done.

Four lessons that took Argo from first commit to GitOps darling | Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Without open source, and if you’re only building for your organization, you have a narrow focus. Open source forces you to consider the use cases of other organization’s needs, and it helps shape it to be an overall better product at the end of the day.

stick with open source kept them honest, keeping them from building niche products that had no relevance to the broader cloud native ecosystem.

to build an open source project with longevity, you need to stay apprised of the trends and best practices of the community you’re trying to serve. That’s how you encourage contributions from developers and practitioners eager to contribute to the wider benefit of their community, not a single siloed project.

Look for grassroots community support first, not corporate sponsors.
