ACCORDION D7.5 - Technoeconomic analysis (I)

This document results from the work of ACCORDION Task 7.5 and analyses federation models from previous research and standards. The goal is to apply some of the characteristics of the studied models to the ACCORDION federation of Edge resources. The federation concept in ACCORDION has both technical and business implications. At the business level, a federation governance model should be designed that defines how the various actors interact and how the main federation processes work. At the technical level, all the components needed to support the defined governance processes should be identified. This document is mostly oriented at analysing the business aspects of federations, but also provides some technical insights that can be useful to design the ACCORDION system.
