Convergence of Mathematical Models in System Performance and AI, for
Optimizing QoS, Sustainability and Security

Erol Gelenbe
Institute of Theoretical & Applied Informatics Polish Academy of Sciences, and King’s College London, UK

Abstract: AI and Machine Learning (ML) have become important tools for evaluating the cybersecurity ofcomputer networks and systems, with very large data sets that contain attack and benign network workload.
At the same time AI is also used to optimize the allocation of workload and resources so as to improveoverall quality of service and sustainability of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Indeed,
AI Driven Cognitive Packet Networks exploit the Random Neural Network to optimize both the QoS, Security
and Energy Consumption of Complex Edge Systems and Core Networks. However the Random Neural
Network (RNN) is mathematically identical to Queueing Networks with Negative and Positive Customers,
whose Product Form Solutions (PFS) are at the core of conventional performance optimization. Thus, in thistalk we show how a single mathematical queueing network abstraction known as G-Networks is useful bothfor AI, and for conventional performance analysis.
Bio: Prof. Erol Gelenbe FIEEE FACM FIFIP FAAIA, is a computer science researcher whose work spans theperformance, security, and energy consumption of computer systems and networks. He is the inventor ofmathematical models such as G-Networks and Random Neural Networks. His recent work includes the
dynamic control of large scale self-aware computer systems and the Internet using Machine Learning andoptimization algorithms. His role in EU funded research includes the coordination of the Horizon 2020
Projects NEMESYS and SerIoT on the cybersecurity of Mobile Networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). He
is currently Principal Investigator in the Horizon 2020 Projects DOSS. Over the years, he has received
numerous peer reviewed highly competitive research funding from CNRS, INRIA, NSF, ONR and ARO (USA),FNRS (Belgium), EPSRC and MoD (UK), and European Union ESPRIT, FP6, FP7 and Horizon Programs.
According to the American Mathematical Society, Erol has graduated 95 PhDs in a career that spans leading
institutions in France (University of Paris-Saclay, University Paris-Descartes), USA (Duke University), Belgium(University of Liege), UK (Imperial College) and currently Poland IITIS-PAN (Polish Academy of Sciences).
Elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium, the French National Academy of Technologies,
and the Science Academies of Hungary, Poland and Turkey, he has published over 300 papers and several
books which are listed on google scholar.

On the State of Metaverse

Nirwan Ansari
New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA

Abstract: This talk examines the current status and future prospects of the metaverse, an emerging concept
often heralded as the next phase of the internet. While not entirely new, given the long history of virtualand augmented reality, the metaverse's promise of an immersive, interconnected digital universe continues
to generate significant interest and debate. This talk traces the evolution of the metaverse, from its origins
in earlier virtual and augmented realities to its current form, integrating advanced technologies and nextgeneration networks. By exploring existing and potential applications, we assess the feasibility of creating
experiences that seamlessly blend the virtual and tangible worlds.
The discussion also covers technological enablers and research methodologies that have driven the
progress and optimization of metaverse-related technologies. To provide a balanced perspective, wehighlight key research challenges that must be addressed to fully realize the metaverse's potential.
Additionally, we review recent developments indicating a possible cooling of market enthusiasm, as
evidenced by major tech companies suspending their metaverse research initiatives. This suggests thatwhile the metaverse holds substantial promise, significant hurdles remain before it can achieve widespread
adoption and success.
Bio: Nirwan Ansari, Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the New Jersey
Institute of Technology (NJIT), holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University, an MSEE from the University ofMichigan, and a BSEE (summa cum laude with a perfect GPA) from NJIT. He is a Life Fellow of the Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
He authored Green Mobile Networks: A Networking Perspective (Wiley-IEEE, 2017) with T. Han, and coauthored two other books. He has also (co-)authored over 700 technical publications, with more than halfof them published in widely cited journals and magazines. He has served as a guest editor for numerous
special issues on various emerging topics in communications and networking. Currently, he serves as the
Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Wireless Communications and has been on the editorial/advisory board of over ten
journals. His current research focuses on green communications and networking, edge computing, droneassisted networking, and various aspects of broadband networks.

AIGC for Wireless Data

Shiwen Mao
Auburn University, USA

Abstract: The performance of deep learning (DL) empowered wireless communications, networking, andsensing depends on the availability of sufficient high-quality radio frequency (RF) data, which is moredifficult and expensive to collect than other types. To overcome this obstacle, we proposal several AIGC
approaches to generate synthetic RF data labeled with specified human activities for multiple wirelesssensing platforms, such as WiFi, RFID, mmWave radar, including a conditional Recurrent Generative
Adversarial Network (R-GAN) approach and diffusion model based approaches. The high quality of thegenerated RF data is validated by metrics of Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Frechet Inception
Distance (FID), as well as representative downstream tasks of human activity recognition (HAR), where themodel trained with sufficient synthesized data outperforms the model trained by real data.
Bio: Shiwen Mao (S'99-M'04-SM'09-F'19) is a Professor and Earle C. Williams Eminent Scholar, and Directorof the Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center at Auburn University. Dr. Mao's researchinterest includes wireless networks, multimedia communications, and smart grid. He is the editor-in-chiefof IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking. He received the IEEE ComSoc MMTC
Outstanding Researcher Award in 2023, the 2023 SEC Faculty Achievement Award for Auburn, the IEEE

Das non-physical Kapital

Roman Beck
IT University of Copenhagen, University of the Faroe lslands, and Halmstad University

Abstract: The way values are created, as well as what is considered as valuable, has changed, while
theorizing about value creation and capture is still based on concepts and models going back to theindustrial age. With the emergence of information technology, foremost the Internet, the creation andcapture of value became possible in more or less virtual environments, where digital, non-physical forms ofvalue became increasingly new forms of “hard” capital (sometimes also described as “from moving atoms
to moving bytes”). Theorizing about the role of information technology as transformative force for value
creation and capture focused is still based on existing concepts of goods and capital, as well as how they
can be created by companies, disseminated on markets.
In this presentation, I will talk about the role of reciprocity and embedded ties in value creation and how
they are extended by decentralized technologies, as well as how decentralized systems overcoming market
failure in providing goods typically not provided by companies or markets. With decentralized systems at
the center of this economic shift, we will discuss the move away from reactive automatic to proactive
autonomous digital systems.
Bio: Prof. Beck is a Full Professor at the Business IT Department and Head of the European Blockchain Centerat ITU (www.ebcc.eu) and Affiliated Professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of
the Faroe Islands. According to the German newspaper Wirtschaftswoche, Roman is among the top 2% of
all German professors in business administration in terms of research output. He is also ranked among the
top 1% of all information systems researchers in the world. As a blockchain economist, his research focuseson the changing nature of institutions due to blockchain with a focus on governance and value creation andcapturing in decentralized systems. As a visiting scholar, he spent three months at CRITO, University ofCalifornia at Irvine in 2003 and further two months at the School of Information, University of Michigan at
Ann Arbor in 2004. In 2008, he was visiting professor at the CIS Robinson College of Business, Georgia State
University at Atlanta for three months and spent another two months at NYU Stern in 2010. During his
research sabbatical in 2012, he was a visiting fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra forthree months.
