Speaker:

Prof. Deke Guo

Title:

Edge Federation: A new Computation Paradigm

Affiliation:

National University of Defense Technology, China

Abstract: Edge Computing is regarded as a new promising paradigm that break through the inherent limits of current cloud computing. It can not only improve the service capacity and application range for the entire network, but also reduce the response delay of services, and improve the execution performance of various big data applications; hence it has its value in both theoretical and practical perspectives. This keynote will discuss the development of representative computation paradigms, including client/server, P2P, cloud computing, and edge computing, and focus on three kind of edge computing paradigms. Then, this keynote will present the design of edge federation framework, hybrid edge computing framework, and mobile-assisted edge computing framework.

Prof. Meiqin Wang

Title:

Novel Cryptanalysis and Design of Symmetric Ciphers

Affiliation:

Shandong University, China

Abstract:As the cornerstone to assure cybersecurity, the cipher plays a critical role in the security authentication and encipherment protection. With the advantage of high efficiency, the symmetric-key encryption scheme has a broader and more flexible application comparing to the public-key encryption scheme. This talk is focus on the design and cryptanalysis of symmetric ciphers. On the aspect of automatic cryptanalysis, we manage to depict the problems in cryptography from the view of operational research and algebraic theory. A series of automatic models regarding different kinds of attack methods are constructed, which become valuable universal analytical tools in the international cryptology field. These new models are integrated into the platform of automatic cryptanalysis, which can efficiently accomplish the tasks in cryptanalysis and plays a crucial part in the design of innovative ciphers. The design and cryptanalysis of ciphers are two complementary sides and bring out the best in each other. Thus, the update of cryptanalytic methods also promotes the development of design techniques. We transform powerful analytical methods into ingenious design techniques and design several novel symmetric ciphers.

Short bio:

Meiqin Wang takes charge of Executive Vice-President of School of Cyber Science and Technology, Shandong University and Vice-Director of Key Laboratory of Cryptologic Technology and Information Security, Ministry of Education, Shandong University. Supported by the 973 Program, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Chinese Major Program of National Cryptography Development Foundation, she mainly studies cryptanalysis and design methods of the symmetric cipher. In recent years, she has published more than 70 papers in top conferences and journals of cryptography.

Speaker:

Prof. Tarik Taleb

Title:

6G -The Journey Towards a New Breeze of Cloud-Native Mobile Networking

Affiliation:

Aalto University, Finland

Abstract:The architectures of mobile networks have seen an unprecedented techno-economic transformation, fusing the telco world within the cloud world, adding the spices of Software Engineering to the overall system design, and ultimately yielding the concept of Telco Cloud. This has brought significant benefits in terms of reducing expenditure and operational costs, flexibility in deployment, and faster time to market. The key enablers are Network Function Virtualization, Software-Defined Networking, and Edge/Cloud Computing. Artificial Intelligence is also kicking in this arena. When all these technologies are well integrated, the creation and lifecycle management of fully programmable, flexible, service-tailored, and automated end-to-end network slices become possible. This will support diverse 5G and beyond 5G services, spanning from Tactile IoT to Pervasive Robotics and Immersive Services.

This talk will showcase how the architectures of different generations of mobile networks have evolved. It will also show the journey that 6G will be likely taking towards enabling a new breeze of cloud-native mobile networking; whereby the old-fashioned concept of “network of networks” would be simply replaced by a new vision of “service of services.”
