ONLINE EVENT

As the Corona virus is continuing to spread in new places across the globe and given the latest WHO guidance on top of the increasing number of international travel restrictions in many universities, organizations, and corporations, we have decided to postpone the ComNet 2020 and 6G Summit, scheduled to be held from March 25 – March 28, 2020.

The conference and Summit are now planed to took place from October 27th to October 30th 2020.

The 8th IEEE International Conference on  Communications and Networking  IEEE ComNet’2020, together with a 6G Global Connectivity Summit,   is organized by MEDIATRON/SUP’COM and aims at bringing together ICT researchers from northern and southern countries to meet, and to exchange ideas and expertise on topics related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Machine Learning, Communications and Networking.

Program is now available !!

Registration for participants is now open !!    For more details, go to Registration Info

Virtual Conference : 100% Online

• 6G Summit : October 27,2020
• ComNet’2020: October 28-30,2020

Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) consists a number of devices such as vehicles, home appliances, industrial machinery, etc. that all together are forming networks of IoT devices. Typically, IoT devices operate using software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity in order to  connect, interact and exchange data with the network. Given that billions of such devices are expected to be deployed in the near future, an overwhelming amount of real-time stream data from IoT is expected giving rise to interesting novel ways of handling this data in terms of communicating, storing, processing. This is where machine learning and blockchain technologies can be used in IoT architecture.

This special session will focus on the latest developments from both academia and industry, with a particular emphasis on cutting-edge techniques in Machine Learning & Blockchain for IoT in real-world applications. The workshop aims to share knowledge and thoughts that will help shape the future directions of real-time stream data challenges of IoT.
