Title: Recent Advances and Challenges of Satellite and Aerial Communication Networks
Summary: Due to the seamless connectivity and high data rate of Satellite and Aerial Communication (SAC), it has been viewed as a key element to bring real-time, higher capacity communication and wider coverage in the connection and deployment of a plethora of applications such as smart grids, Internet-of-Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, space-based cloud for big data, and vehicular ad-hoc networks. The ASC is also regarded as a key element of the Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) networks in emergency rescue for earthquakes and fire disasters, and transoceanic communication that current terrestrial communications cannot cover.
Nevertheless, owing to the inherent nature of satellite broadcasting and huge areas coverage, SAC can be easily exposed to eavesdroppers, leading to various security issues. Secure information transmission has aroused extensive interest from the wireless communications community in order to prevent eavesdroppers by taking advantage of the uniqueness characteristic of the realistic radio propagation channels to intercept confidential messages.
Energy efficiency is a significant metric for the next wireless communication networks from green and economic perspectives. To fulfill this goal, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) come to our sights, which have been considered as an alternative and effective method to improve energy efficiency. RIS is a type of human-created surface with electromagnetic (EM) material which can be easily electronically handled to adjust the directions of reflective signals. RISs have attracted much attention from both academic and industry directions in recent five years. However, the investigation for the RIS application in the SAC is quite insufficient, thus it is worth to exploring the combination of RISs to boost the performance of SAC Networks.

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:Edge-native Architectures, Algorithms and Applications
Summary: It is well acknowledged that we’re entering a new age of data decentralization, which will be enabled by the powerful computing devices, the pervasive 5G/6G networks, and the advances in IoT/IIoT and AI/ML. In this new scenario, instead of a centralized cloud, an edge cloud that is distributed by nature is required as a service platform, and instead of the cloud-native approach, an edge-native approach is required and it is designed to meet the challenges of the edge, built for distributed architectures, and optimized for decentralization.
Particularly, the applications that operate near the edge are not the same as that in the hyperscale cloud. The cloud-native applications are designed to leverage the unlimited horizontal scaling, with the rapid change and rapid deployment as the key. On the other hand, the edge-native design is focused on the real-time and dynamic automation of the physical systems, including things and people.
Moreover, the cloud native approaches that work well in the centralized architectures would not work as well in this new paradigm of dispersion and decentralization, because it does not face the same barriers as the distributed architecture, for example, the extremely low latency and high reliability, the extremely high throughput, and the inherently complex service orchestration.
In order to address these challenges, the systems and networks in the edge-native scenarios should be revalued and redesigned in terms of the architecture, the algorithm, and the application. With the purpose of pushing forward the research and understanding in this field, we cordially invite your submissions of research articles, communications, and perspectives to this track.

Title: Explainable Machine learning and Natural Language Processing for Intrusion Detection
Summary: With the complexity of network attacks, traditional intrusion detection technologies have high false positive rate and false negative rate, low accuracy rate and poor generalization ability. In recent years, Machine Learning (e.g., Deep leaning) and Natural Language Processing (i.e., NLP) have led to vast progress in the field of pattern recognition, machine learning and anomaly detection. Machine Learning technology has excellent performance in processing complex large-scale data, and NLP technology enables computers to analyze, understand and process natural language. Meanwhile, We also need explainable machine learning to break down the drawbacks of end-to-end learning. Thus, they can bring new ideas for processing multi-source heterogeneous intrusion data, and effectively improve the detection performance and the generalization ability.

Title: Human Modeling and Applications in Aviation
Summary: Human modeling has advanced to the point that it is able to represent relatively complex aircraft–air traffic control interactions with sufficient realism to assess the performance of alternative systems and procedure designs. They facilitate the use of body dimensions and shape, human postures and motions, human physical performance and their variability. In addition to physical accommodation and performance, they allow analyses of vision, comfort and workload (both physical and cognitive). Other models also exist to process optimization, and hazards such as thermal and radiation. They have become more powerful recently. Intelligent Human Models or Virtual Humans have become more popular for gaming, education, and training. In these models, Virtual Environments, and the appearances of humans and their behavior are becoming more realistic than before. New developments in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) are also leading us to new approaches for a comprehensive three dimensional realistic models.
