We are proud to announce ETSI SDG TeraFlowSDN (TFS) presence in the 2026 edition of SNS4SNS, Software & Standards for Smart Networks & Services, which took place in Sophia-Antipolis, FR from 2-5 February 2026.

Overview

SNS4SNS is an event that brings together open source communities, industry-standardisation, and cutting-edge research initiatives to advance the development of next-generation networks and services. Through a series of engaging talks, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live demonstrations, participants will explore a wide range of collaborative frameworks and opportunities to drive innovation, foster interoperability, and contribute to the long-term viability, security, resiliency, and sustainability of communication networks.

SNS4SNS 2026 Presentations & Materials

The ETSI SNS4SNS 2026 agenda spanned perspectives from industry, open source, academia, and public and private sectors, contributing to an open software ecosystem for future connectivity and service. It was an amazing opportunity to

• 35+ live demos and posters, illustrating collaborative innovation among industry, research and open source initiatives.
• Present interactive tutorials and learn the latest advances in ETSI Software Development Groups OpenOP, OpenSlice, OpenCAPIF, TeraFlowSDNand OpenSourceMANO.

All the presentations from the conference and the on-stage demos are available here

Tutorial

TeraFlowSDN held a very sucessful and inspiring tutorial on Monday delivered by Ricard Vilalta (CTTC, ETSI TFS Chair) on “AI-enabled Network Automation in TeraFlowSDN Orchestrated Networks”, showcasing how TeraFlowSDN leverages AI to drive Autonomous Networks using Digital Twins for simulation, Autonomous Agents for self-optimization, and secure, adaptive automation.!
