ABS-1．Challenge to electromagnetic wave applications in the sea
The use of electromagnetic (EM) waves in seawater has been recently attractive research fields
since Japan has a huge amount of potential resources in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Their target applications include telecontrol or telemetry with autonomous underwater
vehicle(AUV), wireless power transmission, remote sensing on buried/installed equipment, andso on.
In this symposium, research and development for further advancements such as system design,antenna/device development, demonstration, and application evaluation for the use ofelectromagnetic waves in the sea are called for presentation.

BS-1．Small antenna design for IoT technologies
High-performance small antennas are highly required as IoT communication devices with RF
module are downsized. Since there is a trade-off relationship between miniaturization ofantennas and their high-performance, technical progress for antenna miniaturization is stronglydemanded. This symposium is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information onstate-of-the-art research in small antennas for IoT devices.

BS-2．Evolution of wireless network towards Beyond 5G / 6G
Now that the commercialization development for the 5th generation mobile communication
system (5G) is coming to a close, development and implementation of ultra-reliable andlow-latency communication (URLLC) and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) areexpected to be accelerated for further evolution of the 5G system, following thecommercialization of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB). Therefore, it is meaningful to deepen
the discussion on the future of 5G from the viewpoints of services and technologies, based on thecurrent progress. In this session, we will explore the new ideas in the area of URLLC and mMTC
in addition to eMBB, and also discuss technical challenges and future direction of the next
generation system (e.g. B5G).

BS-3．Power systems, battery and device technologies empowering smart communities
Smart communities as distributed energy systems have been expanding significance in recent
society and technologies for new energy systems are facing urgent demand. In this symposium,various technical issues concerning smart communities are to be discussed.

BS-4．Network and Service Design, Control and Management
Various advanced information and communication technologies, e.g., IoT, connected car, andedge computing, are expected to be widely used in near future. Therefore, the network andservice design, control and management are getting more important. In this session, authors areinvited to submit their papers regarding the network design, control and management
technologies from various aspects such as performance, quality, reliability, security, andusability.

BS-5．Special Poster Session ~ Network Technology ~This session handles themes on Network Technology. The presentation style is poster session sothat people in the room including speakers could hold an active and fruitful discussion anytime
during the session and could have feedback or tips for his or her own study. As the session aims
to have a discussion about research topics in progress, 1 written paper would be sufficient.

CS-1．Electromagnetic Fields in Periodic Structures
Periodic structures have been widely used as wavelength and polarization selective components
in microwave, millimeter-wave, and optical wave regions, and applications based on themetamaterials induce researchers’ attentions again for the periodic structures. When we
simulate the electromagnetic fields in the periodic structures, numerical error is comparatively
easy to accumulate in the structures, and careful treatments are necessary in many problems.
Furthermore, recently developed applications often use the evanescent wave and/or thepolarimetric information, and they require highly accurate numerical modeling. This session
will cover recent progress in the analytical and numerical approaches to electromagnetic fields
in the periodic structures, and related applications.

CS-2．Recent Progress in Vital-sign Sensing Using Microwave or Millimeter wave
Along with the recent declining birth rate and aging population, it is predicted that the risk oflifestyle diseases and adult diseases such as cancer will increase, and the medical devices andhealth care systems for early detection and prevention have been developing.
Therefore, we will propose a following symposium; the technology from the basic to application
for medical and healthcare-related devices using microwave, millimeter wave and Terahertz
technologies will be presented and discussed not only the latest trends but also future prediction.
