R&I Goals and Opportunities for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks
2022-12-15 10:00 - 11:15 (Europe/Berlin)
The 6G-IA, together with AENEAS, is organising an open webinar on :
R&I Goals and Opportunities for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks
On Thursday 15 December 2022 at 10:00 CET
(to download an ics file for your Calendar please Click Here)
The purpose of the webinar is to summarise the European policies and goals for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks and to discuss the related 2023 calls for projects in this area in both the KDT JU and the SNS JU programmes.
Background
The current race towards the definition of 6G systems has already started and is the subject of vibrant competition from Europe’s main competitors, notably the US, China, Japan and South Korea. Microelectronics is becoming a key issue for competitive solutions provided by European vendors and suppliers and microelectronics companies worldwide are also expected to play an important role in the 6G standardisation activities – which should start around 2025. It is hence important to have a critical mass of microelectronic actors well prepared to contribute to the standardisation process, especially for the lower radio layers where the bulk of essential patents for standards implementation are usually located.
The European Chips Act, adopted by the Commission in early 2022 aims to enhance Europe’s competitiveness and resilience in semiconductor technologies and applications and help achieve both the digital and green transition. One of its objectives is to help Europe reach leadership in chips for digital connectivity infrastructures. Europe has a leading position in the global connectivity infrastructure market, while at the same time has strong dependencies on chipset vendors from outside the European Union.
In this context, and with the clear aim of reinforcing European strength in microelectronics and connectivity, the KDT and SNS JUs are both launching focus topics as complementary activities in their respective Work Programmes.
Programme

NativeNI: The 1st International Workshop on Native Network Intelligence
2022-12-09 13:30 - 17:30 (Europe/Berlin)
In recent years we witnessed a growing interest towards leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to innovate network operations at all layers, domains and planes. Yet, if, what and where we need to integrate intelligence in networks and how to (re)design networks for the native support of AI is still largely under debate. This is due to the multi-faceted nature of the challenges behind such integration: on the one hand, network architectures must be updated to accommodate AI models and their lifecycle by design (e.g., collecting and provisioning data in real-time, balancing centralized versus distributed computing approaches, empowering low latency requirements for fast closed-loop decision-making and network function automation); on the other hand, the design of AI models shall improve to better align with the myriad of requirements of production network systems (e.g., inference latency, computational complexity, trustworthiness of AI decisions); finally, operational procedures in research must be enhanced for verifiabilty, reproducibility and real-world deployment (e.g., establishing reference datasets, sharing trained models without sacrificing models explainability, robustness or safety).
The NativeNI – The 1st International Workshop on Native Network Intelligence, co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2022, held in Rome, Italy on December 9, 2022, will provide you with pragmatic answers to all these points are paramount to enable a transition of the current large body of literature on AI for networking from academic exercises to solutions integrated in production systems.
Please also find below a CfP to the first installment of NativeNI.
This workshop aims to bringing together researchers from academia and industry who are committed to making AI in networks a reality. We call for contributions from researchers working in the areas of network systems, applied machine learning and data science. We seek contributions that range from visionary position papers to promising ideas and prototypes, all the way to fully deployed solutions. All submissions should contribute to the common goal of making AI a viable and native technology for mobile networks.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Network architectures and infrastructures for native AI support
AI requirements for integration in network environments
Network traffic data collection and analysis for AI support
Low-latency AI for networks
Compute-prudent AI for networks
Tailored AI models for network management and orchestration

2022-11-30 08:45 - 2022-12-01 19:30 (Europe/Berlin)
5G Italy reaches its 5th edition. The international conference promoted and organised by the Italian National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications – CNIT (Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni) is once again the most significant event in Italy about 5G and its several application areas.
The fifth edition of 5G Italy – Towards the Telecoms of the Future – will cover the research, development, and implementation activities currently under way in Italy and the rest of the World and will also feature the projects linked to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan – NRRP (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, PNRR), allocating major investments for the digitalisation of the Country.

DOWNLOAD PRESENTATION

In this transition process, 5G will act as one of the connecting points for electronic communications and will be a key factor to boost national economy, as well as drive economic growth. In this complicated and challenging historical period, 5G will play a more and more relevant role for its industrial and social applications, but also in fields such as services, businesses, and Public Administrations.
5G Italy will also be a great networking opportunity: a strategic meeting-point for businesses, public entities, the academic world and decision-makers.
Participation
5G Italy will count on the valuable participation of distinguished institutional representatives (i.e., from Government, Parliament, and Public Entities), as well as C-suite from top-rated Italian and foreign companies.
Speakers will be cherry-picked from a shortlist of top managers active in the areas to be discussed at the event.
CNIT will draft and deliver individual invitations directly to the speakers/institutional representatives, checking on their availability, with a commitment to the success of the event.

5G TECHRITORY – EUROPE’S LEADING 5G ECOSYSTEM FORUM

We are moving ever-closer to a super-connected, 5G-enabled world. 5G infrastructure will become the engine of the connected world, and will rely on policy, norms, and standards that do not yet exist.
The global 5G ecosystem is still fragmented, which delays us from accessing the full benefits of 5G technology. What we need is to establish a common ground among all of the players in the field that would put all the pieces together. Rules to adhere to, values to be guided by, and goals to lead us all in one, unified direction.
5G Techritory is Europe’s leading initiative that brings together industry experts, business leaders, top scientists, and policy makers to set the agenda for making a strong 5G ecosystem a reality.
We call on the leading minds of the 5G ecosystem to gather to share knowledge, open new horizons, and collaborate on the advancement of this industry:

Business leaders – to create innovative business models
Policy makers – to create the policies to guide them
Investors – to fund the advancement of a 5G society
Scientists – to support adoption of 5G technologies in society

The forum’s new – phygital (physical + digital) – format has allowed us to gather an exceptionally large number of participants and created borderless opportunities for 5G practitioners to meet and collaborate.
Join us in building 5G Techritory and witness the growth of the 5G ecosystem!
