The main goal of the workshop, conceived as a markedly multidisciplinary event, is to foster cross-fertilization of ideas among the areas of AI/CI and Wireless Networks (WN). Researchers and professionals working at the interface between these two fields will benefit from an event where tools and techniques from the three macro-areas of CI are investigated to address the challenges of Next Generation Wireless Networks.

The event is expected to fuel discussion in the following areas:

• • Next generation wireless networks

  • AI-enabled 6G

  • Edge AI

  • Federated Learning

  • Big Data and Distributed AI

  • Trustworthy AI

  • Explainable AI

  • AI as-a-service

The discussion is intended to cover aspects relevant to IEEE WCCI, and therefore submissions will be encouraged in (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Concepts and applications of neural networks in B5G/6G networks

• Concepts and applications of evolutionary computation in B5G/6G networks

• Concepts and applications of fuzzy logic in B5G/6G networks

• AI/CI-native B5G/6G networks: air interface design, communications mechanisms, semantic and goal-oriented communications

• Distributed learning architectures: edge AI, federated learning

• Big data mining for 6G

• Computational Intelligence towards trustworthy AI: technical robustness and safety, privacy and data governance, transparency and explainability.

• Governing AI mechanisms

• Resource allocation for AI mechanisms

• Sustainable AI

• Performance evaluation and experimentation of AI-based solutions for B5G/6G networks
