Future Networks AI/ML Roadmap 2024
International Network Generations Roadmap (2024 Edition)
IEEE (Philadelphia) Webinar, 2024-Nov-19
An overview of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learninr (AI/ML) chapter of the IEEE's 2024 International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR). Topics include AI/ML-defined radio, integrated wireless communiations & sensing, reconfigurable intelligenec surfaces (RIS), generative network layer in prediction-based networking, DDDAS, next-generation AI for communication systems.

Identity, Privacy, and Tracking
on Communication Networks
IEEE (Philadelphia) Webinar, 2024-Apr-16
A look into how the concepts of "identity," "privacy," "tracking," and their attendant issues are treated in modern communication networks, including the wireless networks (4G/LTE/5G, Wi-Fi) and the Internet, with brief exposition on how these concepts and their handling may evolve in the 6G communication networks and beyond.

5G, 6G, and Beyond, with AI/ML
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in 6G & Beyond
IEEE (Philadelphia) Webinar, 2023-Nov-21
A look into wireless cellular telecommunications technology standards focusing on 5G (the fifth-generation), motivations and trends towards 6G (the sixth-generation) & beyond, and broad approaches to Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI/ML) in that context.

HTTP 1, 2, 3, ...
Hypertext Transfer Protocol 1, 2, 3 ...
IEEE (Philadelphia) Webinar, 2022-Nov-15
A look into the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) from the "original" HTTP 0.9 to the latest HTTP/3 with QUIC. Also address transport layer efficiency, scalability, robustness, security, and issues related to the use of HTTP as the basis for "Web API".

Next-Next-Generation Wi-Fi
from Contention to Scheduled Access
IEEE (Philadelphia), 2022-July-19
The first part looks into the trends, use cases, motivations, and technology features likely to be introduced into future Wi-Fi in the next ten years beyond Wi-Fi 6/6E. The second part focuses on latency reduction, as well as issues and nuances of introducing scheduled access into Wi-Fi's traditional world of contention based access.

Randomized MAC Addresses
System Impacts and Implications
IEEE (Philadelphia), 2021-Oct-19
A look into the increasingly ubiqiutous trend of mobile consumer devices randomizing their MAC addresses, with analyses on how such randomizations are likely to impact network systems and discussion of possible mitigation measures. (Corresponding article.)
