About

Steven Van Rossem is a leading researcher at the intersection of cloud computing and telecommunications, specializing in the cloudification of service deployments for telco operators. His most cited work, "The Next Generation Platform as a Service Cloudifying Service Deployments in Telco-Operators Infrastructure" (2018, 13 citations), captures a pivotal moment in technology history when the emergence of the 5G standard coincided with the deep transformation of industries by cloud-native innovations. Van Rossem’s key contribution lies in articulating how 5G must evolve into a ubiquitous fabric that seamlessly blends universal connectivity—for humans, robots, and machines—with cloud-native principles. He argues that for 5G to succeed, it must be built as a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer, enabling agile, scalable service deployments directly on telco infrastructure. His work is notable for bridging the gap between traditional network operations and modern cloud architectures, providing a roadmap for operators to embrace virtualization and orchestration. With a growing citation impact, Van Rossem’s research continues to influence how next-generation networks are designed, making him a vital voice in the convergence of telecom and cloud technologies—a field critical for enabling smart cities, autonomous systems, and the Internet of Things.
