Keynote Title: Wireless Moves to the Speed of Light
Abstract: Future wireless networks are expected to evolve towards an intelligent and software reconfigurable paradigm enabling ubiquitous communications between humans and mobile devices. They will be also capable of sensing, controlling, and optimizing the wireless environment to fulfill the visions of low-power, high-throughput, massively-connected, and low-latency communications. A key conceptual enabler that is recently gaining increasing popularity is the Holographic Multiple Input Multiple Output Surface) that refers to a low-cost transformative wireless planar structure comprising of sub-wavelength metallic or dielectric scattering particles, which is capable of impacting electromagnetic waves according to desired objectives. In this talk, we provide an overview of Holographic communications by introducing the available hardware architectures for reconfigurable such metasurfaces and their main characteristics, as well as highlighting the opportunities and key challenges in the domain

Keynote Title: Dimensioning and Greening the Network Edge
Abstract: In recent years, the network edge has attracted wide interest from the scientific and industrial community in communications. Indeed, implementing micro-services at the network edge seems to offer an additional and welcome degree of freedom in the delivery of modern services, allowing to reduce latency, support high reliability and location awareness. While the enthusiasm on the subject enabled the already implemented proof-of-concepts of this paradigm, further investigation is still required to better understand the feasibility and scalability of edge solutions, especially in terms of energy efficiency. This keynote will briefly introduce the building blocks required to understand the concept of the network edge, including Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization. Then, the ETSI Multi-Access Edge Computing standard will be introduced as the reference architecture for service deployment at the edge. Finally, energy-efficient networking and computing concepts and challenges will be analyzed for this interesting scenario.
