Title: Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networking: from Single- to Multi-Component Pareto Optimization

Chair of Telecommunications,
University of Southampton, UK,

Abstract:
Thanks to the spectacular advances in signal processing and nano-technology, five wireless generations have been conceived over the past five decades. Indeed, near-capacity operation at an infinitesimally low error-rate has become feasible and flawless multimedia communications is supported in areas of high traffic-density, but how do we fill the huge coverage holes existing across the globe?
As a promising system-architecture, the SAGIN concept constituted by an integrated terrestrial, UAV-aided, airplane-assisted as well as satellite-based global coverage-solution will be highlighted to pave the way for seamless next-generation service provision. However, these links exhibit strongly heterogeneous properties, hence requiring different enabling techniques.
The joint optimization of the associated conflicting performance metrics of throughput, transmit power, latency, error probability, hand-over probability and link-lifetime poses an extremely challenging problem. Explicitly, sophisticated multi-component systemoptimization is required for finding the Pareto-front of all optimal solutions, where none of the above-mentioned metric can be improved without degrading at least one of the others...

Title: Enabling the sustainable digital transformation of urban ecosystems
Prof. Luis Muñoz
Universidad de Cantabria,
Spain
|
 |
Abstract:
During the last decade a huge effort has been carried out in terms of urban ecosystem digitalization. Hence, during the first wave of such transformation, many cities committed to deploy a dense IoT infrastructure for collecting and monitoring several urban services. The second wave was devoted to rely on such infrastructure for designing and deploying advanced services looking for more efficient performance. As part of this wave, a big effort has been carried out to extent the transformation beyond the technical domain, but impacting on the society. Hence, concepts such as co-creation and citizen science are being consolidating. Leveraging on these initiatives, cities evolve upon the convergence of xG infrastructures, data spaces, federated learning, digital twin and the forthcoming quantum computing techniques with the consequent impact.
