Techno-Economic Assessment in Communications: New Challenges

This article shows a brief history of Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) in Communications, a proposed redefinition of TEA as well as the new challenges derived from a dynamic context with cloud-native virtualized networks, the Helium Network & alike blockchain-based decentralized networks, the new network as a platform (NaaP) paradigm, carbon pricing, network sharing, and web3, metaverse and blockchain technologies. The authors formulate the research question and show the need to improve TEA models to integrate and manage all this increasing complexity. This paper also proposes the characteristics TEA models should have and their current degree of compliance for several use cases: 5G and beyond, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), secure access service edge (SASE), secure service edge (SSE), and cloud cybersecurity risk assessment. The authors also present TEA extensibility to request for proposals (RFP) processes and other industries, to conclude that there is an urgent need for agile and effective TEA in Comms that allows industrialization of agile decision-making for all market stakeholders to choose the optimal solution for any technology, scenario and use case.

Cyber Security in Cloud: Risk Assessment Models

The present paper shows a proposal of the characteristics Cloud Risk Assessment Models should have and presents the review of the literature considering those characteristics in order to identify current gaps. This work shows a ranking of Cloud RA models and their degree of compliance with the theoretical reference Cloud Risk Assessment model. The review of literature shows that RA approaches leveraging CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) STAR Registry that have into account organizations security requirements present higher degree of compliance, but they still lack risk economic quantification. The myriad of conceptual models, methodologies and frameworks although based on current NIST SP 800:30, ISO 27001, ISO 27005, ISO 30001, ENISA standards could be enhanced by the use of techno-economic models like UTEM, created by the author, in order to conceive more simplified models for effective Risk Assessment and Mitigation closer to the theoretical reference model for Cloud Risk Assessment, available for all cloud models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and easy to use for all stakeholders.

Model for Techno-Economic Assessment of Access Technologies. Doctoral Dissertation for PhD, Telecommunications Engineering (EECS)

This doctoral dissertation shows State of the Art of techno-economic modeling for access network technologies, presents the characteristics a universal techno-economic model should have, and shows a classification and analysis of techno-economic models in the literature based on such characteristics. In order to reduce the gap detected in the literature, the author defines and develops a Universal Techno-Economic Model called UTEM and the corresponding methodology to industrialize techno-economic assessment in multiple domains considering all market players perspectives, also suitable for technological consulting and currently available for all industry stakeholders under specific license of use.

Techno-Economic Assessment Models for 5G

This paper proposes the characteristics a techno-economic model for 5G should have considering both mobile network operators perspective and end users needs. It also presents a review and classification of models in the literature based on the characteristics of such theoretical techno-economic reference model. The performed analysis identifies current gaps in the techno-economic modeling literature for 5G architectures and shows it can be enhanced using agile techno-economic models like the Universal Techno-Economic Model (UTEM) created and developed by the author to industrialize assessment of different technological solutions, considering all market players perspectives and applicable to decision-making in multiple domains. This model can be used for an effective and agile 5G techno-economic assessment, including not only network deployment perspective but also customers and end users requirements as well as other stakeholders to select the most adequate 5G architectural solution considering both technical and economic feasibility. UTEM model is currently available for all industry stakeholders under specific license of use.
