Speech Title: QoS-Driven ICN-NFV-SDN Integration for Edge-AI Enabled Multimedia Big-Data Services Over 5G/6G Mobile Wireless Networks
Abstract: While 5G is being deployed around the world, the efforts and initiatives from academia, industry, standard bodies have started to look beyond 5G, conceptualize 6G mobile wireless networks, and propose various 6G promising techniques. While it is widely recognized that various multimedia services such as video/audio streaming and 3D immersive-media will continue dominating the wireless traffics as 5G is converging to imminent 6G networks, how to efficiently support statistical delay-bounded QoS provisioning for wireless multimedia transmissions over 5G/6G remains one of the most difficult challengers because real-time big-data multimedia services are both highly spectrum-/computation-intensive and time-sensitive, for which the deterministic delay-bounded guarantee is practically infeasible due to randomly time-varying wireless channels and interferences. To overcome these difficulties, the academia and industry have made a great deal of efforts in developing various 5G/6G promising candidate techniques from the perspectives of theory, architectures, protocols, techniques, etc. Towards this end, in this speech we will address the 5G/6G’s fundamental pillar techniques, including information-centric network (ICN), network functions virtualization (NFV), and software defined networks (SDN), Edge Artificial Intelligence (Edge-AI), etc., and how these techniques can be integrated to efficiently support the statistical delay-bounded QoS provisioning for wireless multimedia transmissions over 5G/6G mobile wireless networks. Furthermore, we will also discuss several future research directions and challenges in the general areas for 5G/6G mobile wireless networks.

Specch Title: Machine Learning for Detection of Attacks on Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract: In cyber-physical systems powered by the Internet of Things, multi-hop wireless networking will be commonplace given the ease with which wireless systems can be installed. However, the proliferation of such wireless multi-hope networks introduces an attack vector that has not been studied extensively – the exploitation of poorly maintained intermediate nodes to disrupt communication systems and hence adversely impact the operations of cyber-physical systems that rely on them. In this talk, we will describe a number of research results addressing this problem, in applications ranging from consumer sensor networks to vehicular networks. Both experimental and theoretical aspects of the research will be presented.

Speech Title: Local-Density Subspace Distributed Clustering for High-Dimensional Data
Abstract: Distributed clustering is emerging along with the advent of the era of big data. However, most existing established distributed clustering methods focus on problems caused by the large amount of data rather than caused by the large dimension of data. Consequently, they suffer the “curse” of dimensionality (e.g., poor performance and heavy network overhead) when high-dimensional (HD) data are clustered. In this talk, we introduce a novel distributed algorithm, referred to as Local Density Subspace Distributed Clustering (LDSDC) algorithm, to cluster large-scale HD data, motivated by the idea that a local dense region of a HD dataset is usually distributed in a low-dimensional (LD) subspace. LDSDC follows a local-global-local processing structure, including grouping of local dense regions (atom clusters) followed by subspace Gaussian model (SGM) fitting (flexible and scalable to data dimension) at each sub-site, and merging of atom clusters at every sub-site according to the merging information extracted from the fused global SGM at the global site. Moreover, a fast method is introduced to estimate the parameters of SGM for HD data, together with its convergence proof. We evaluate LDSDC on both synthetic and real datasets and compare it with four state-of-the-art methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LDSDC yields best overall performance
