ii. Distinguished Lecture “Fog Computing & Networking – A New Paradigm for Future

IoT” given by Prof. Tony Q.S. Quek.

The talks were held on April 23, 2018 at National Taiwan University. The abstract is

given below:

Abstract -- A recent trend during the past decade is to push various capabilities, such

as computation, control, and storage, to the cloud. Such an over-dependence on the

cloud, however, indicates that availability and fault tolerance issues in the cloud

would directly impact millions of end-users. Such a cloud-centric architecture is not

suitable for satisfying the demands of many delay-sensitive applications in future IoT.

In viewing of these challenges, the cloud is now "descending" to the network edge

and diffuses among the client devices in both mobile and wired networks. Such

transition leads to the new paradigm of fog computing and networking. In this talk,

we will provide an overview of fog computing and networking and will discuss some

recent work related to this research area.

Abstract -- Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically

increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various

new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate

these bandwidth consuming applications and services. D2D communication, which

has been listed in 3GPP as a study item, is a promising concept to improve user

experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and

unlicensed spectrum. However, design, analysis, and optimization of D2D

communications & networking require multidisciplinary knowledge, such as wireless

communication and networking, signal processing, artificial intelligence (e.g., for

learning), decision theory, optimization, and economic theory. Therefore, this tutorial,

containing the basic concepts/theories for addressing research advances that enable

D2D communications in cellular networks, the state-of-the-art of research and

development and the related information, will be useful in designing D2D-based

wireless communications systems and services.

viii. Distinguished Lecture “Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): An Integrated Design of

Secure Communications, Caching, Computing, and Control(SC4)” given by Prof. Dr.

Sumei SUN.

The talks were held on August 22, 2018 at National Chiao Tung University. The

abstract is given below:

20

Abstract -- Industrial internet of things (IIoT), by providing connectivity to machines,

robots, and sensors, etc, enables data intelligence-assisted information technology (IT)

and operation technology (OT) convergence. In IIoT, multi-disciplinary research on

communications, caching, computing, control, and security (SC4), is needed, with

built-in autonomous learning and adaptation capabilities.

In this talk, we will start with a brief introduction to IIoT, and then share the IIoT

research and design challenges. A design approach will then be proposed to

overcome these challenges, under the theme of cognitive IIoT in which the device

and the network will build up learning capabilities for context-aware resource,

interference, and mobility management, automated fault detection and recovery, and

robust connectivity; multi-modal security detection capability is incorporated into the

device and network for real-time anomaly and security detection and management.

The interactive and cooperative edge-cloud analytics will also be introduced to

enable low-latency real-time actionable insight and robust feature engineering.

Finally, the 5G’s role, especially the 5G machine-type communications (MTC), from

both the massive MTC aspect, and the ultra-reliable low latency communications

(uRLLC) aspect, will be discussed.

2. The objective was to deliver the knowledge about recent advance and future trends

in array antennas to industries and students.

It was co-sponsored and co-organized by Taiwan Electromagnetic Industry-

Academic Consortium (TEMIAC) and Educational Ally of RF Circuit Design in

Mobile Communication supported by the Ministry of Education, in cooperation

with High-Speed RF and mm-wave Technology Center, National Taiwan University,

Graduate Institution of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan University,

Oriental Institute of Technology Department of Communication Engineering, IEEE

EMC-S Taipei Chapter, Institute for Information Industry, Industrial Technology

Research Institute.

Many applications require radiation characteristics that may not be achievable by a

single element. However, it may be possible that an aggregation of radiating elements

in an electrical and geometrical arrangement (an array) will result in the desired

radiation characteristics. Array antenna was first utilized in military field, such as

Radar. Nowadays, it has been applied in various areas of communications including

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), Massive MIMO, and so on. With the

development in technologies like fifth-generation mobile network, internet of Thing

(IoT) etc., the design considerations for the antennas become more diverse and

complicated. Larger bandwidth, beam shaping, short range device to device

28

communications, operation in wider range of frequencies etc. are some of the key

requirements, and array antennas are expected to play an important role in achieving

these requirements.

The workshop has invited several key experts and professors in the field including

CEO, Yao-Ming Tsai, from Training Research Co., LTD, TRC, Prof. Paolo Nepa

from University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy, Prof. Yu-Jiu Wang from National Chiao Tung

University, Doctor Rui Guoli from WHA YU Industrial Co., Ltd., engineer, Jian-Jia

Chen from National Instruments. The speakers shared experience and knowledge

about their researches which provided a deeper understanding on recent

developments and the future of array antenna to the attendees. Student attendees had

the opportunity to learn the industrial aspects of technologies in need for industrial

applications. These will help students to develop better skills and abilities, and we

wish them to make ground-breaking contributions to the field of array antennas in

their coming career.
