Title: AI-Based Design of 6G Networks
Abstract: In this talk, a vision of use cases in future wireless 6G networks will be presented. 6G will provide distributed AI and a plug-and-play infrastructure for various IoT services. AI combined with domain knowledge will be used to design 6G, as conventional analytical methods will not be able to meet the stringent requirements of the future 6G services and deal with increasing network complexity. A framework for using AI in 6G design will be presented. Some research results from the Sydney Centre for IoT and Telecommunications on AI-based designs of 6G physical, MAC and network layers will be demonstrated.
Biography: Prof Branka Vucetic currently works as a Laureate Professor and Director of the Centre for IoT and Telecommunications at the University of Sydney. During her career, she has held various research and academic positions in Serbia, Australia and UK. Her research interests include wireless communications, error control coding, and IoT applications in energy grids and industrial control.
Prof Vucetic co-authored four books and more than four hundred papers in telecommunications journals and conference proceedings. She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering and IEEE.

Title: NETWORKING 2030: Metaverse, Extended Reality, Hologram Type and Mulsemedia Communication Challenges for 6G/Beyond Wireless Systems
Abstract: The term “METAVERSE” (META= BEYOND) and (VERSE=UNIVERSE) can be regarded as the evolution of the Internet where there will be almost no separation between digital and physical. This will be made possible thanks to the convergence of key emerging technologies such as Extended Reality (XR) (the umbrella term for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR)), Mulsemedia as well as Hologram Type Communication (HTC). In this talk, the XR, Mulsemedia, HTC technologies are explored and research challenges concerning wireless communications for the next decade are presented. XR, Mulsemedia and HTC provide truly immersive experiences for a plethora of use cases for the Networking 2030 and Beyond. They face great challenges in transmitting high volume data with high throughput and guaranteed end-to-end latency which cannot be addressed by existing/current communication technologies. In this talk, a roadmap towards wireless ultimate XR, Mulsemedia and HTC technologies is presented. The basics, existing products and use cases of these technologies are reviewed, and technical requirements and bottlenecks of realizing these technologies are identified.

Title: Known limits, achievability and trends for M2M:
Towards massive, reliable and real-time communications
Abstract: In the ‘beyond 5G’ roadmap, the place taken by machine type communications (M2M) is constantly increasing, strengthening the mutation of the wireless access paradigm. Indeed critical KPIs for M2M communications are focused on reliability, latency (URLLC) and massive access. The latter is required to absorb the exponential increase of connected things, with in some cases strong reliability-latency requirements. From a general perspective, and under fixed resources and massive access, the reliability-latency duality is becoming more and more central. In this talk we review the key questions and we describe few of our recent contributions, allowing to determine fundamental limits with respect to these 3 KPIs. Our approaches exploit information theory, recent coding, decoding and decision strategies. The presentation will span recent results of the Maracas (Inria-Insa) research group, from theoretical, algorithmic and experimental complementary perspectives.

Resilience as the Master Key for Secure Cyber-Physical Energy Systems
Abstract:
This talk will give an overview of the research of the Secure Next Generation Resilient Systems (SENTRY) lab (sentry.kaust.edu.sa) at KAUST. The transformation of critical grid infrastructures into cyber-physical energy systems contributes towards modernization allowing for better planning, more flexible control, system-wide optimization, etc. However, the cyber-threat landscape on these infrastructures seems to widen with increasing sophistication associated with the use of internet-of-things (IoT) and cloud-based services despite significant benefits in terms of reliability and efficiency. The talk will present different cases of attack strategies simulated under various operating conditions to uncover their system-wide impacts in power systems, as well as illustrate the impact of such attacks and the feasibility of detection methods in simulation models in order to enhance system resilience.
