PhD Summer School of Information Engineering – SSIE 2023

PhD Summer School of Information Engineering – SSIE 2023<https://ssie.dei.unipd.it/>, co-organized by the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) at the University of Padova (Italy), and the IEEE Italy section. SSIE will take place exclusively in presence in Brixen, Italy, on July 10th-14th, continuing on a decades-long tradition.

As always, the school program has been carefully shaped, securing talks from leading experts in the ICT field. This year, the school theme will be on upcoming 6G systems and networks, with talks on:

1. Machine learning and mathematical optimization: Latest developments on the following topics: i) neural network architecture search, ii) adversarial machine learning, iii) designing efficient and modular neural networks, iv) meta-heuristic optimisation techniques.
2. Programmable networks / SDN: i) Programmable networks for distributed deep learning, ii) FPGA-based software-defined  programming for 6G wireless network systems.
3. Key technologies for 6G mobile networks: i) Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) for 6G mobile networks, ii) intelligent and reconfigurable surfaces (IRS) for next generation mobile networks, iii) advances on multimedia signal processing: heading towards the metaverse.
4. Cybersecurity: New threats and solutions for the digital era.
