Keynote Title: What Should 6G Be ?
Abstract
The role of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) in bringing about a revolution in almost all aspects of human life needs no introduction. It is indeed a well-known fact that the transmission of the information at a rapid pace has transformed all spheres of human life such as economy, education, and health to name a few. In this context, and as the standardization of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been completed, and 5G networks are in their early stage of deployment, the research visioning and planning of the sixth generation (6G) of WCSs are being initiated. 6G is expected to be the next focus in wireless communication and networking and aim to provide new superior communication services to meet the future hyper-connectivity demands in the 2030s. In addition, keeping in mind that urbanized populations have been the major beneficiary of the advances offered by the previous generations of WCSs and motivated by the recently adopted united nation sustainability development goals intended to be achieved by the year 2030, 6G networks are anticipated to democratize the benefits of ICT and to bring global connectivity in a sustainable fashion in order to contribute to developing tomorrow’s digitally inclusive and green world. In this context, this talk aims to (i) provide an envisioned picture of 6G, (ii) serve as a research guideline in the beyond 5G era, and (iii) go over some of the recently proposed green technologies to offer high-speed connectivity not only in urban environments but also in under-covered areas in order to serve and contribute to the development of far-flung regions.Bio
Mohamed-Slim Alouini was born in Tunis, Tunisia. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1998. He served as a faculty member at the University of Minnesota then in the Texas A&M University at Qatar before joining in 2009 the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) where he is now a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prof. Alouini is a Fellow of the IEEE and OPTICA. He is currently particularly interested in addressing the technical challenges associated with the uneven distribution and access to information and communication technologies in rural, hard-to-reach, and/or low-income areas.

Keynote Title: Data and Process Mining of Communication Systems and Computer Networks
Abstract
Massive volumes of diverse data are increasingly being collected, stored and analyzed for improved understanding, prediction and efficiency of complex systems and processes. Data mining of such rich resources has become increasingly important across many areas and disciplines. However, this is particularly true of communication systems and computer networks, where diverse data can be collected, managed, and analyzed within the systems and networks, and the output from data mining can be fed back again to improve performance and facilitate autonomy and self-management of such systems and networks. Here, data mining is concerned with the search for new knowledge in data, usually obtained in the form of rules specified in terms of data mining tasks such as classification, clustering, anomaly detection or prediction. Such functionality is becoming increasingly more important as we move towards 6G, with hugely improved connectivity and the ability to handle large amounts of heterogeneous data. In addition, the burgeoning Internet of Everything (I0E) is extending the Internet and corresponding data to people, devices, data stores, and networks with huge potential for data mining and computational intelligence. Recently Process Mining has emerged as a particularly important topic where computer systems generate rich process data which can be mined, while business processes from large organizations are diverse and complex, with massive opportunities for extracting and using new knowledge and improving understanding. Such smart process analytics allows the users and owners of such data and knowledge to achieve goals, via different mining and analytical techniques, thus facilitating better understanding of such processes and prediction of outcomes of interest. Such approaches can improve understanding of process dynamics and facilitate timely predictions and interventions

Professor Tarik Taleb is currently a Professor at the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) – Networks and Systems Unit, Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, The University of Oulu. He is the founder and director of the MOSA!C Lab (www.mosaic-lab.org). Between Oct. 2014 and Dec. 2021, he was a Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, Aalto University, Finland. Prior to that, he was working as Senior Researcher and 3GPP Standards Expert at NEC Europe Ltd, Heidelberg, Germany. He was then leading the NEC Europe Labs Team working on R&D projects on carrier cloud platforms. Before joining NEC and till Mar. 2009, he worked as assistant professor at the Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University, Japan, in a lab fully funded by KDDI, the second largest mobile operator in Japan. From Oct. 2005 till Mar. 2006, he worked as research fellow at the Intelligent Cosmos Research Institute, Sendai, Japan. He received his B. E degree in Information Engineering with distinction, M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Information Sciences from Tohoku Univ., in 2001, 2003, and 2005, respectively. Prof. Taleb’s research interests lie in the field of telco cloud, network softwarization & network slicing, AI-based software-defined security, immersive communications, mobile multimedia streaming, & next generation mobile networking. Prof. Taleb has been also directly engaged in the development and standardization of the Evolved Packet System as a member of 3GPP’s System Architecture working group 2. Prof. Taleb served on the IEEE Communications Society Standardization Program Development Board. As an attempt to bridge the gap between academia and industry, Prof. Taleb founded the “IEEE Workshop on Telecommunications Standards: from Research to Standards”, a successful event that got awarded “best workshop award” by IEEE Communication Society (ComSoC). Based on the success of this workshop, Prof. Taleb has also founded and served as the steering committee chair of the IEEE Conf. on Standards for Communications and Networking. Prof. Taleb is the recipient of the 2021 IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications Technical Committee Recognition Award (Dec. 2021), the 2017 IEEE ComSoc Communications Software Technical Achievement Award (Dec. 2017) for his outstanding contributions to network softwarization.
The 14th IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication Networks (CICN 2022) is organized to address various issues to prosper the creation of intelligent solutions in future.
