Project Highlights
It is now time for our first edition of RIGOUROUS Newsletter of 2025! Having just finished the second year of RIGOUROUS progress, we are putting the finishing touches on previous work. The team is getting ready for the new, and last, phase of technical development.
To start off, we have news! RIGOUROUS will be present at EuCNC 2025, with new demos to showcase the great work done by our researchers. For this edition, we will be cooperating with other 6G-focused projects in a joint venture. More info to come in future RIGOUROUS Newsletter editions, so stay tuned!
Our Progress So Far
Recent efforts in the RIGOUROUS project have been focused on defining the final reference architecture. This is a crucial step in ensuring a robust and well-structured framework. This work involves carefully gathering and solidifying, both functional and non-functional requirements from all partners and entities involved. These are, essentially, what the system must do and how well it must perform. These requirements serve as the foundation for the architecture, guiding its development in this phase and ensuring consistency across components.
A key milestone in this process is Deliverable 2.3, which outlines the results of the technical requirements collection. This deliverable aims to provide a list of these requirements and describe how they contribute and shape RIGOUROUS’ architecture. It ensures that all necessary aspects relating to the system’s capabilities are covered.
Additionally, this deliverable introduces a high-level, final design of the architecture. It details both proactive and reactive flows, how the system anticipates and responds to various scenarios. The requirements are also mapped to specific functional blocks, which define different parts of the system and their interactions. By systematically linking these elements, the project ensures that RIGOUROUS is built on strong, well-documented foundations.
At the time of writing, Deliverable 2.31 (D2.3) remains an active work in progress. With these efforts, RIGOUROUS is advancing toward a well-structured, future-proof system that will ensure the resilience of 6G against evolving cyber threats.
