Workshop Future Emerging Technologies for smart Networks and Services
2020-11-04 - 2020-11-05 | virtual
Virtual Workshop

Workshop Scope and Topics:
With 5G system deployment proceeding at a fast pace, and with standardization bodies completing the specification of features enabling full verticals integration in 5G, research seems increasingly interested in looking beyond. It is currently unclear the degree of innovation which can still be absorbed by 5G systems, as unclear are the use cases 5G may be unable to support, justifying the inception of a next generation. In this transition phase, it will be crucial to examine emerging technologies in the fields of wireless, optical and satellite communications, networking, network management, storage and computing, virtualization, multimedia and vertical applications, etc. to identify potential enablers which may become Beyond 5G (B5G) network cornerstones. Equally relevant is envisioning future services and examine their potential requirements, which may be the drivers behind next generation networks. The workshop is organized with the ambition to move a first step in both directions, and foster a discussion among matter experts which may help orient research in the years to come.

Workshop Format:
The workshop, by invitation only, will host distinguished speakers from Academia and Industry, who will be kindly requested to present their views on B5G emerging technologies and/or on next generation services and applications. The workshop will run under the Chatham House Rule. The workshop is organized by the 5G-VINNI project, a joint undertaking by several telecommunication operators, equipment vendors, research institutes and other organisations.

Patronage:
The workshop is organized under the auspices of the 5G-VINNI project (https://www.5g-vinni.eu/), a joint undertaking by several telecommunication operators, equipment vendors, research institutes and other organisations. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 815279.

Call for papers
5G rollout has started in many parts of the world and is imminent in others. At the same time, IoT services and applications in vertical areas like industry 4.0, smart grids, eHealth and smart cities which utilize the full capabilities of 5G networks are still emerging. Judging by this demand, massive IoT (mIoT) or massive machine-type communication (mMTC) has been identified as one of the three main communication scenarios for 5G. For enabling and accelerating the large-scale rollout of 5G-based IoT solutions in a wide range of vertical sectors, large-scale validation trials are an important step.
The workshop aims to gather the results of such validation trials for 5G-based IoT solutions in Europe and beyond. In addition to presenting the technological progress and insights gained from these validation trials, the workshop will also foster a multidisciplinary discussion between industry and academia, ICT providers and verticals as well as between the 5G and the IoT research communities. This productive exchange is expected to lead to an identification of existing R&D challenges and new insights on how to address them.
The workshop is organized in cooperation with the 5G EVE, 5G-VINNI, and 5GENESIS projects. The workshop specifically invites papers on relevant validation trials performed by verticals on the large-scale experimental platforms provided (i.e. 5G infrastructure projects of the 5G PPP or other projects or activities). Papers on validation trials for 5G-based IoT solutions performed in other experimental environments are equally welcome.
The topical scope for papers includes, but is not limited to:

Massive IoT/massive machine-type communication
Low power wide area (LPWA) technologies such as NB-IoT, etc.
Standards, and architectures for mIoT over 5G
Ultra-Reliable, Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN)
mIoT applications over 5G networks applied to verticals industries, e.g. Industry 4.0, healthcare, wearable systems, smart cities, transport & logistics, mobility, agriculture
Autonomous systems and UAVs
Security and privacy for mIoT networks
5G network slicing for mIoT
Experimental validation of mIoT applications over 5G networks
5G experimentation infrastructures for mIoT
Massive mIoT data transport optimization and in-network knowledge extraction
