SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOPS

- 1st workshop on 6G Network Use Cases and Verticals (Hamzeh Khalili and Engin Zeydan, CTTC, Spain)

Website: https://www.icin-conference.org/6g-network-use-cases-and-verticals/
Submission: https://edas.info/N31689

The "6G Network Use Cases and Verticals Workshop" offers a unique platform for researchers, professionals, and experts to immerse themselves in the realm of 6G networks. This workshop is dedicated to exploring the boundless possibilities and challenges presented by 6G technology across various industries. We invite contributions that shed light on innovative use cases, delve into architectural intricacies, and address security, privacy, and ethical considerations in the context of 6G networks. Furthermore, we aim to investigate spectrum allocation, infrastructure needs, regulatory aspects, and the integration of AI, machine learning, and cloud-native technologies. In this workshop, participants can also share strategies for effective network management and orchestration.

The term “intent" in the autonomous network refers to the goal or the objective from the external customers and internal Operation and Management (O&M) personnel, which represents a set of business or operational requirements in the declarative form or even using the natural language. The intent facilitates the users to express their business objectives, business logic, constraints, etc. towards the communication networks; however, it does not specify the detailed implementation way. Intent driven autonomous networks require an intent processing flow, starting from “natural language” input refining to machine understandable configurations with implementation agnostic “intent primitive”, and then to implement specific “executable policies” and “reliability configurations”. As the system evolves, such intent processing flow should be adaptive to the execution feedback and dynamically changing circumstances. This releases the customers from the manual effort to manage all technical aspects of network services and reduces the network O&M burden to address potentially conflicting goals, which can provide the users with flexible and reliable network services, realize efficient utilization of network resources, and fully release the network potentials. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to investigate challenging aspects in intent-driven management for the 5G and the future 6G systems, as well as to identify future research directions. Open issues and key innovations will be discussed for aspects related to Intent-based network management. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers to this workshop.


At least one author is required to register at full rate for the accepted papers to be presented at the workshop and to appear in the workshop proceedings.
