Summary
Resilient and reliable autonomous 6G systems are critical to modern society. However, most autonomous systems still rely on legacy algorithms that perform poorly in real time. In 6G, systems with extremely low latency and high reliability are required to meet stringent quality-of-experience, sensing, and communications requirements. Currently, designing such systems can be quite challenging, expensive, and computationally intensive. To address this problem, this special issue proposes applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable cutting-edge design of cost-effective, energy-efficient, resilient, and reliable autonomous systems.
This special issue focuses on employing artificial intelligence to empower resilient and reliable autonomous systems such as self-driving vehicles, cognitive robotic systems, aerial drones, and various industrial control systems. In particular, the special issue aims to provide a forum for collecting the latest research findings and high-quality works on the novel applications of artificial intelligence in empowering resilient and reliable autonomous systems.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
· AI-enabled resilient autonomous 6G systems
· Information analysis in resilient autonomous 6G systems
· Reinforcement learning for self-healing autonomous 6G systems
· AI for uncertainty-aware monitoring of autonomous 6G systems
· Data-centric ML resilience in autonomous 6G systems
· Network security and threat modeling in autonomous 6G systems
· Novel models for cyber-physical resiliency in autonomous 6G systems
· AI for privacy-preserving learning in autonomous 6G systems
· Adaptive threat response in autonomous 6G systems
· AI-assisted network reliability analysis in autonomous 6G systems
· AI-assisted fault diagnosis, prognosis, and recovery in autonomous 6G systems
· Novel testbeds, benchmarks, and performance evaluation in autonomous 6G systems
