Title: Key Technologies of AI-based Communications towards 6G

Abstract：In both academia and industry, the exploration of 6G—a further advanced cellular communication technology—has already begun. As our society becomes increasingly digitalized, hyper-connected, and globally data-driven, future services are anticipated to rely heavily on virtually instantaneous, unlimited wireless connectivity. This presentation will outline the key drivers, challenges, and essential research topics associated with 6G. In particular, I will provide an overview of the cutting-edge technologies in this field, spanning aspects such as the physical layer, networking, and new use cases and service enablers.

Title: Economic Driven Resource Allocation and Task Offloading in Edge-Cloud Computing

Abstract：In the edge and cloud computing, how to offload the task and make the resource allocation is a key issue. Specifically, as a distributed system, it is difficult to use a centralized method to make the task offloading and resource allocation decision. In this speech, we discuss how to use economic-incentive based methods to make the task offloading and resource decisions in difficult scenarios, such as the edge system with moving users, uav-assisted edge computing systems and so on.

Title: Apply of a trusted third party (TTP) to the blockchain-based electronic service (e-service)
Abstract: Trusted Third Party (TTP) is very popular in this present era. This  Trusted Third Party (TTP) can be applied to the blockchain-based electronic service (e-service) in the form of a durable medium. Here an e-service which is storing, managing, and processing sensitive electronic documents is proposed. The developed e-service meets the requirements of both Polish law (related to the durable medium) and market needs. Firstly, the functional requirements were defined. Subsequently, the adequate e-service was designed, and then implemented in a real company in Poland. Due to the nature of the durable medium e-service, the presented research combines scientific and implementation aspects. The designed and implemented e-service is secure (because of using the immutable blockchain technology merged with symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms) and trusted (by using TTP as the e-service provider, as well as an independent arbitrator monitoring the document storage and processing flow). Finally, the presented approach was experimentally verified using Hyperledger Besu—a blockchain implementation platform. During the realization of two designed test scenarios, over 30,000 transactions were added to the blockchain. Furthermore, security analyses were performed regarding inherent blockchain properties, the use of cryptographic algorithms, and potential cyberattacks and vulnerabilities.

Title: Secure and Efficient Top-k Query Processing in Internet of Things

Abstract: Top-k query is an important kind of queries in Internet of Things, since it can retrieve the most valuable data from a large amount of sensed data items generated by IoT sensing devices. However, because of the limited resources (e.g., storage and computation capacity) and the short communication radius, how to obtain the correct Top-k query result efficiently from the distributed IoT devices is challenging. Moreover, in hostile environments, adversaries are more inclined to compromise some important IoT nodes, such as the data storage nodes or IoT edge computing servers, to undermine the privacy and completeness of the query results. Thus, it is also an important work to design some secure Top-k query processing schemes to ensure the safety of the queries. This report presents some secure and efficient Top-k query processing schemes in several IoT environmet, such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Two-tiered wireless sensor networks (TWSNs), two-tired mobile sensor networks (TMWSNs), and the sensor-cloud systems. It hopes that the presentation can bring new ideas for the researchers who are interested in such a field.
