Title: Zero-trust Architecture and Principles
Summary:
The development of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) makes the network boundary generalization, the conventional perimeter-based architecture defense is hard to realize, and the traditional gateway identity and access control system is difficult to deal with new threats. The zero-trust architecture does not trust the enterprise network behind the firewall to be secure, assumes vulnerabilities, and verifies each resource request as if it came from an uncontrolled network. No matter where the request comes from or what resource is accessed, zero-trust takes the principle of "never trust, always verify".
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of zero-trust technology and network information security. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.

Title: Mobile Edge Artificial Intelligence for 6G
Summary:
6G is expected to support a variety of intelligent services, including smart cities, autonomous systems, industrial Internet of Things (IoT), and metaverse, achieving the vision of connected intelligence. Although effective for intelligence distillation, centralized learning requires the transfer of massive data from mobile devices to the server, which leads to both network congestion and privacy leakage. Edge AI featured by supporting model training and inference at the network edge has the potential to enhance the effectiveness and trustworthiness of 6G networks. However, to enable scalable and trustworthy edge AI, many challenging issues need to be tackled, for which advanced communication/networking techniques, low-complexity resource allocation strategies, holistic systems architectures should be developed. Moreover, as sensing, communication, computation, and intelligence should be well integrated, the research on edge AI involves multiple academic disciplines, including machine learning, wireless communications, operation research, and etc.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of edge AI.

Title: Nature-inspired algorithms, improvements, and applications
Summary:
Along with the development of science and technology of our world, we are facing more and more complicated problems in both dimensionality and scalability. Analytical solutions might be no longer accessible, on the contrary, stochastic methods play more important role in such conditions. Being metaheuristic, the nature-inspired algorithms have been proved to be efficient and easy to find the best solutions for most complicated problems. More than three hundred of them have been proposed, yet none of them could solve all of the existed problems causing the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorem. We are still under demand of new algorithms, even their improvements. And more applications were introduced to verify their capabilities.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of nature-inspired algorithms and understand how they work in both benchmark functions and the real-world engineering problems, including their improvements in capabilities. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.

Title: Holographic Communication: Application Scenarios, Enabling Technologies, and System Architectures
Summary:
With the evolution of the mobile communication systems towards the sixth generation or 6G, it is anticipated that holographic communication will come into reality, holographic data will be transmitted, distributed, and accessed through the network, and holographic scenarios and applications will abound here and there in society. For example, holographic telepresence will allow people to beam themselves to a location thousands of miles away and interact with people there. However, in order to shape up holographic communication, it requires to overcome a whole bunch of challenges on all fronts, such as the generation of hologram, transmission of the holographic data, and rendering for display.
Recently, the learning based methods has emerged as a paradigm shift from the conventional simulation / optimization-based methods for computer-generated hologram, achieving a promising trade-off between quality and runtime. The holographic projection systems have constantly improvd with larger and faster spatial light modulators and phased array photonic integrated circuit. In addition, the superb performance of ultra-high bandwidth and extremely-low latency, which 6G is supposed to provide, will largely satisfy the demand of these holographic applications for immersive experience with massive amounts of data and real-time interactions.
Challenging but promising, it seems that holographic communication will make a huge impact on the society in the near future, fully taking advantage of the ubiquitous intelligence, distributed computing power, and extremely high network performance of 6G. In this respect, this workshop seeks to bring together academic researchers, industrial practitioners, and individuals working on this exciting research areas to share their innovative ideas, latest findings, and bold visions, and discuss the potential use cases, open research problems, technical challenges, and solution methods in the context.

Title: Drone-aided network intelligence techniques for disaster management
Summary:
In disasters such as earthquakes, fires or floods, the rapid, effective and reliable communication and emergency response could greatly alleviate economic loss and save lives. However, the communication network infrastructures tend to be collapsed or limited functioning in such circumstances. Drones as flying robots, with high mobility and agility, can assist as flying base stations or mobile relays to serve a disaster area out of the reach of the cellular networks.
Most existing drone-aided communication network systems for disaster management support only a single drone feature with limited capacity or naively operate multiple drones manually by pilots, experiencing the issues of non-cooperation, long delay bottleneck, energy consuming and limited adaptability to dynamic disaster environment. There are important unaddressed technological issues in the literature, regarding the drone-user interaction for path planning, drone-drone cooperation for sustainable service provision, and onboard energy allocation for balancing both hovering time and service capacity according to energy consumption and dynamic user demands.
Aware of such limitations, a future drone network should be intelligent enough to provide fast and reliable communication services to rescuers and victims in case of cellular coverage collapse. Researchers from academia and practitioners from the industry are invited to submit their cutting-edge original research and review articles on drone-aided network intelligence techniques in disasters.

Title: Research on Human behavior Sensing Technology based on WIFI signal
Summary:
With the development of computing technology, the machine-centered computing mode is shifting to the human-centered computing mode. The future development direction is to make people become a part of the computing link, promote the integration of the physical world and the information world, and realize high-level human-computer interaction. Accurate perception and interpretation of human behavior are essential technical support. In recent years, with the increasing number of WiFi hotspots deployed and the wide application of WiFi in the field of perception, especially positioning, human behavior sensing technology based on WiFi signal has attracted extensive attention. Its basic principle is that when WiFi signal meets the human body in the process of transmission, phenomena such as reflection, refraction, diffraction and scattering occur, which will cause disturbance to the normal propagation of the signal.
By analyzing the received signal and detecting the characteristics of signal disturbance change, the state of the human body encountered in the process of signal transmission can be perceived. WiFi behavior sensing is based on existing communication devices and makes use of WiFi signals widely existing in the environment, which has good universality and scalability. Perception method with the traditional human behavior, such as computer vision perception technology, infrared sensing technology and special sensors technology, based on the WiFi signal perception technology of human behavior with non line-of-sight, passive perception (do not need to carry sensing), low cost, easy deployment, without being limited by the light conditions, strong expansibility and so on a series of advantages.

Title: Advanced Radar Signal Processing Technology for Remote Sensing
Summary:
Radar is an important tool for long-distance detection and perception, and has important applications in many key fields such as sensing space, earth and sea. The increasingly complex environment and targets have put forward higher requirements for radar signal processing technology. Radar signal processing includes waveform design, clutter recognition and suppression, target detection, classification and recognition, etc. Improvements in radar performance rely on fine-grained processing at each step. In recent years, the rapid development of advanced signal processing theories and methods has brought many possibilities to the update of radar signal processing technology. Therefore, it is very necessary and meaningful to study and discuss the advanced radar signal processing technology.

Title: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for B5G & 6G
Summary:
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) or intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is recently recognized as one of the most promising technologies to effectively increase coverage and improve communication performance for future wireless communications beyond 5G and 6G (B5G & 6G). Specifically, the RIS is a planar surface consisting of an array of passive reflecting elements, each of which can independently induce a controllable reflection coefficient on the incident signal. By installing an RIS on the facade of buildings, an additional virtual line of sight (LoS) link can be established between the base station (BS) and the user. By judiciously adjusting the phase shifts of the reflecting elements, the reflected signal can be constructively superimposed with the signal from the direct path to enhance the desired signal power or destructively mitigate unfavourable signals such as multi-user interference or signal leakage to eavesdroppers. The RIS is less expensive to deploy than conventional active transmitters since its reflecting elements only passively reflect the incoming signal without any signal processing operations and does not require costly and power-hungry radio frequency (RF) chains. Moreover, it is lightweight and has limited layer thickness, so it can be easily integrated into the environment. Despite the above-mentioned appealing advantages of RIS, it also brings some new signal processing challenges such as channel estimation, robust transmission design, angle/position estimation, distributed algorithm design.

Title: End-to-End Deep Clustering for Social Media Analysis
Summary:
Mining user-centric social media data streams, i.e. social networks and user-generated multimedia content, offers great opportunities for clustering in unstructured data organization and knowledge discovery. Whereas, the big volume, dynamic, and heterogeneous social media data post challenges in terms of scalability, online learning capability, multimodal information fusion, and robustness to noise and parameter settings.
An integration of deep learning and clustering is seemingly a promising solution where the deep neural networks perform end-to-end feature extraction and the clustering algorithms find optimized data partitions. However, existing methods usually make them in two stages, and it is still an open challenge to learn the features under clustering objectives.
This workshop aims to sort out novel solutions of end-to-end deep clustering and their practical applications for social media analysis. Related topics are not limited to:
- Deep features for clustering
- Deep subspace clustering algorithms
- Adaptive resonance theory and deep learning
- Contrastive learning and clustering
- User community detection with deep clustering
- Social media indexing with end-to-end deep clustering
- Multimodal end-to-end deep clustering
Keywords: Clustering, Deep learning, subspace learning, adaptive resonance theory, contrastive learning,Social media analysis
