Special Session

Special Session Ⅰ: Control and Filtering of Switching Intelligent Unmanned Systems

Session Chair: Dr. Mengshen Chen——University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, China

Keywords: Intelligent Unmanned Systems, Switching Systems, Control, Filtering

Information: Intelligent unmanned systems are based on the cross-fusion development of frontier fields such as artificial intelligence and big data, utilizing robots, unmanned vehicles, drones, and unmanned boats as physical carriers. This system is designed to intelligently achieve autonomy, self-governance, and collaboration, ultimately completing complex tasks as an integrated system. Besides, due to the influence of the actual environment, the structure and parameters of many intelligent unmanned systems will experience abrupt changes. Considering that switching systems can simulate this situation very accurately, some in-depth research is needed on the control and filtering issues of switching intelligent unmanned systems. Scholars in related fields are welcome to submit manuscripts.

The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Multi-agent systems

  • Networked control systems

  • Markov systems

Important Date: Submission Deadline: April 23, 2024


Special Session Ⅱ: AI-empowered Mobile Edge Computing 

Session Chair: Dr. Hai Xue——University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, China

Keywords: Mobile Edge Computing, Resource Allocation and Orchestration, Resource Pricing Strategy, Offloading Decision-making, Service Migration, Edge Caching

Information: With the fast propagation of IoT, mobile edge computing (MEC) as a new computing paradigm has attracted great attention from both academia and industry. MEC sinks the cloud resources to the network edge closer to end devices, which mitigates the inherent problem of cloud computing, such as serious delays due to long-distance communication. In the meantime, the fast development of AI has created growing excitement and much debate about its potential to revolutionize ICT. To this end, researchers have conducted a couple of research by integrating AI techniques with MEC.  

However, to embrace the promising mobile edge computing, there are many challenges in enabling technologies, such as resource allocation and orchestration, resource pricing strategies, etc. This special session aims to present state-of-the-art research in the area of AI-empowered mobile edge computing for experts to disseminate their recent advanced works, views, and ideas on future directions in this field.

Topics of interest to this Special session include but are not limited to the following:

  • Intelligent architectures and models for edge deployment;

  • Edge resource allocation and orchestration mechanisms;

  • Resource pricing strategies in mobile edge computing;

  • Advanced edge offloading techniques;

  • Advanced edge caching techniques;

  • Advanced service migration techniques for mobile edge computing;

  • Intelligent offloading decision-making techniques for mobile edge computing;

  • Swarm intelligence for mobile edge computing;

  • Mobile edge computing for smart cities, UAVs, and IoVs;

  • Case studies of a new computing architecture for sustainable mobile edge computing
