PerAI 2022 - Workshop on Pervasive Network Intelligence for 6G Networks (PerAI-6G)

The sixth generation (6G) networks are expected to support increasingly heterogeneous networking paradigms, adapt to dynamic network environments, and provide diversified intelligent services with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. To this end, artificial intelligence (AI) will penetrate and be integrated into every facet of the network, including end users, network edge, and cloud, resulting in pervasive network intelligence. The pervasive network intelligence can be enabled from two perspectives: AI for networking and networking for AI. The former is to leverage and customize AI-based methods for complex 6G network management, while the latter is to design and optimize 6G networks to facilitate service-oriented AI applications (i.e., AI services). However, realizing pervasive network intelligence confronts different challenges. It should support various AI services with distinct QoS requirements in terms of latency, reliability, accuracy, etc. In addition, the service demands exhibit spatial and temporal dynamics due to traffic burstiness and user mobility. It is of paramount importance to improve the utilization of heterogeneous sensing, communication, computing, storage, and control resources for determining fine-grained user-centric networking solutions.
The objective of this workshop is to promote the harvest of the benefits of pervasive network intelligence for 6G networks by considering the aforementioned challenges. This workshop can serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government, and industries, to exchange ideas, present new results, and provide future visions on these topics.
