In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, networks form the backbone of our increasingly interconnected world. As we stand on the brink of a new era, the concept of a “smart society” is becoming a reality, driven by the seamless integration of advanced technologies such as next-generation wireless networks (5G/6G/beyond), the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and integration of space, terrestrial, and marine systems. These innovations promise to enhance our daily lives, improve efficiency, and foster sustainable development across various sectors. The goal of this workshop is to bring togethe stakeholders from the United States (US) and Japan to discuss the current state-of-the-art, and future evolution of technologies that can help shape a smart society. Specifically, the proposed workshop will revolve around three fundamental themes:
Augmented Network Architectures (Network + X Architecture): The goal of this thematic area is to explore the integration of advanced capabilities, such as computing and artificial intelligence (AI), into the current architecture of wireless and wired networks.
Extremely Advanced Networks for Wired and Wireless Communications: The goal of this thematic area is to investigate advanced networking capabilities for enabling wired and wireless communications at scale and with maximum efficiency.
Emerging Use Cases and Associated Networks: The goal of this thematic area is to exploit emerging use cases that can leverage the capabilities of the first two thematic areas and that can serve as the foundation for smart society
