The Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) participated in URSI 2018 (XXXIII SIMPOSIUM NACIONAL DE LA UNIÓN CIENTÍFICA INTERNACIONAL DE RADIO) to present the Reference Communications and Networking Architecture defined in AUTOWARE. The Spanish national conference (https://congresos.ugr.es/ursi2018/) was celebrated from 5th to 7th of September in Granada, Spain.

The paper proposes the use of heterogeneous communication technologies integrated in a hierarchical communications and data management architecture where decentralized and local management decisions are coordinated by a central orchestrator that ensures the efficient global operation of the system. Industrial applications are organized in different tiers where different management strategies are applied to satisfy their different requirements in terms of latency and reliability.
