The 30th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2024) was held in Washington DC, USA from 18-22 November 2024. For the second year in a row, PREDICT-6G, DESIRE6G and DETERMINISTIC6G participated in the conference as co-organisers of the 2nd Workshop on “6G Programmable Deterministic Networking with AI” (6G-PDN 2).
The objective of this workshop was to discuss the roadmap and challenges in the technology areas of deterministic communications and deep network programmability in 6G to support future end-to-end time-critical applications. It brought together researchers from academia and industry to present new ideas and technical solutions in these areas, contributing to the advancement of 6G network research.
Keynote speakers at the workshop were Amir Gomroki, Head of 5G for North America and 5G-ACIA Ambassador for Ericsson Research, and Ashutosh Dutta, Senior Scientist, 5G Chief Strategist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and Director of the Doctor of Engineering Programme at Johns Hopkins University.
As a result of an open call for papers, the selected authors discussed in depth various aspects of deterministic networks:
- Experimental Evaluation of a Multi-Domain TSN Scenario in Industry 4.0, first author: David Rico-Menéndez (University Carlos III Madrid).
- Routing-Aware Shaping for Feasible Multi-Domain Determinism, first author: Andrea Francini (Nokia Bell Labs).
- Environmental-aware Reinforcement Learning-based Scheduler for Trustworthy 6G in the Factory Floor, first author: Fjolla Ademaj-Berisha (Silicon Austria Labs GmbH).
- Lightweight INT on the Tofino programmable switch, first author: Angelos Dimoglis (University of Amsterdam).
- An Architectural Framework for 6G Network Digital Twin, first author: Zhiheng Yang (University of Amsterdam).
- Artificial Intelligence Control Plane for Deterministic Networks Proof-of-Concept, first author: Alejandro Calvillo-Fernandez (University Carlos III Madrid).
ACM MobiCom 2024 is the thirtieth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks.
