description: The main contributions of this document are:<br> • Presentation of the communication, dissemination, and exploitation plan (CoDEP)<br> • Presentation of the early achievements according to this plan.<br> DAEMON´s CoDEP includes communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities. Communication includes all the activities related to the promotion of the project and its results beyond the project’s own community. This includes explaining its research in layman's terms to the media and the public. Dissemination includes activities related to raising awareness of its results in a technical community working on the same research field. In general, this will be done through publications, and participation and organization of technical events. Finally, exploitation (in accordance with the European IPR Helpdesk) covers activities aiming at using the results in further research activities other than those covered by the project, such as developing, creating and marketing products or processes, creating and providing a service, or standardization activities. Particular emphasis is given to standardization in this deliverable; the initial roadmap defined is also presented.<br> The Raise Awareness phase, during the initial stages of the project, focuses on communication activities (e.g., setting up the web portal and social media accounts and high-level project presentations) to make the project known not just to the technical community but to a larger audience outside the project topics, including the public. Dissemination and standardization activities also start in this phase with preliminary technical ideas. In the Presentation of Results phase, dissemination and exploitation activities increase their intensity, since the architecture and NI design efforts will have produced meaningful results. Initial demonstrations of specific concepts of the architecture and NI solutions are also expected during this phase. However, it is in the Demos and PoCs phase where demonstration activities involving multiple blocks of the architecture working in an integrated way are expected. Finally, the Long-lasting Impact phase refers to other research or exploitation actions taken once the project is finished. This includes shaping the topics and framework of future research projects, exploiting DAEMON NI concepts in a market-oriented way by incorporating them into products and services, and leaving a footprint in standards through project contributions. The plan defines the various undertaken activities, and defines related target metrics. In accordance with the plan, some early results have already been produced. Some highlights follow:<br> • Communication<br> o Design of promotion material, website, and creation of news, social media accounts, along with initial actions to raise awareness about the project through these means. This already resulted in over 1000 visits to the website and an increasing impact through social media.<br> o Communication talks, a brochure and other events to present the scope of the project.<br> • Dissemination<br> o Nine accepted conference publications, some of them jointly with other projects and in top venues (e.g, IEEE INFOCOM, AAAI, etc.).<br> o Four accepted publications in top-tier (Q1) journals (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, etc.).<br> o Participation in various working groups to join efforts with other 5GPPP projects.<br> • Exploitation, including standardization<br> o Creation of the standardization management role.<br> o Identification of relevant SDOs for networking (e.g., 3GPP, IETF, ETSI, O-RAN) and monitoring of groups of interest for potential contributions.<br> o Identification of relevant open-source projects (e.g., srsRAN [3], Eclipse Zenoh [5], Eclipse fog05 [6]).<br> o Definition of the initial standardization roadmap according to the timelines of the SDOs and the project.
