6GNet 2022 - 1st International Conference on 6G Networking

6G network research has already started with some initiatives like the 6G Flagship. Besides the (somewhat questionable) speed race, 6G networking is a tremendous opportunity to investigate and foster research in areas like the need for massive digital inclusion and stronger robustness against attacks of any kind, among other challenging topics like global network automation and cross-domain service/slice design, delivery and operation. 6G networking may also be seen as a true convergence point where the distinction between fixed and mobile infrastructures would not make sense anymore. The research effort in this area of convergence has ignited for quite some time but dramatically progressed with 5G techniques, possibly combined with others like advanced forwarding schemes (multi-path communication designs) or AI/ML-fueled network automation. This first 6G conference therefore aims at assessing the progress of the various research efforts in areas that will forge 6G networks. The 6G Networking conference will thus bring together top-notch experts from academia and industry (including network operators) to stimulate discussions, introduce news ideas and therefore contribute to the progress of 6G networking research.
This 6G Networking conference will take place in Paris from July 6 to July 8, 2022.
