The TRACE project was presented at the 10th B5G – Putting Intelligence to the Network Edge” (B5G-PINE) (https://www.5g-essence-h2020.eu/Contact/5GPine.aspx) workshop, in the framework of the IFIP International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI 2025) (https://ifipaiai.org/2025/) took place from June 26 to 29, 2025, in Limassol, Cyprus. The conference brought together researchers and industry professionals to present and discuss innovative applications of artificial intelligence across a range of domains, including logistics, healthcare, telecommunications, IoT, energy efficiency, and generative neural networks. The program featured peer-reviewed contributions – 44 full and 6 short papers selected from 117 submissions – covering topics such as anomaly detection, sentiment analysis, AI for sustainable development, and intelligent systems for 6G and beyond.

Konstantina Papachristopoulou, from partner Netcompany SEE & EU Institutions, presented the paper “TRACE: a Reference Architecture for Intelligent Logistics Operations in B5G Networks”, which introduces the TRACE platform and how it supports smarter logistics in Beyond-5G (B5G) infrastructures, through its modular and scalable Reference Architecture. The paper emphasises the TRACE communication infrastructure and real-time data analytics, edge computing, and autonomous decision-making capabilities tailored to complex logistics environments. It is now published in Springer’s Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (IFIP AICT, vol. 722, pp. 244–256), accessible on Springer: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-97317-8_20.
