International Workshop on Resilient 6G Networks (WResNet 6G)

Scope

Our future society will be increasingly digitalised, hyper-connected and globally data driven. The sixth generation (6G) and beyond 6G wireless networks are expected to bridge the digital and physical worlds by providing wireless connectivity as a service to different vertical sectors. Such far reaching integration will render the society increasingly reliant on wireless networks. While this has the potential to greatly enhance our quality and ease of life, any disruption to these networks would also have significant impact with overreaching consequences. Disruptions can happen due to a variety of reasons, including planned outages, failures due to the nature of wireless propagation, natural disasters, and deliberate cybersecurity attacks. Hence, 6G and beyond 6G networks should not only provide near instant and virtually unlimited connectivity, but also be resilient against internal and external disruptions. Enabling this vision requires addressing many theoretical and practical challenges. With the aim of providing a platform for experts from academia and industry to present and discuss innovations and enablers towards resilient 6G networks, this workshop calls for original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review elsewhere.
