Title: Towards Data Aware High Precision Networks

Short bio: Dr. Alexander Willner works within the business unit Software-based Networks (NGNI) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS) and within the chair of Next Generation Networks (AV) at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB). He is working with his groups in applying standard-based Internet of Things technologies to industrial domains. With a focus on moving toward the realization of interoperable communication within Industry 4.0, the most important research areas include industrial real-time networks (e.g., 5G/6G/TSN), middleware systems (e.g., OPC UA), distributed AI (e.g., using digital twins), and distributed cloud computing (e.g., edge computing). He holds an M.Sc. from the University Göttingen and a Dr.-Ing. degree in computer science from TUB.

Scope of the workshop

Time-sensitive deterministic communications constitutes an emerging topic with significant interest from industry and various application domains, such as industrial networks, automotive communications, mobile and wireless Networks, and service provider networks. Time-sensitive deterministic communications are expected to provide a solid underpinning that will support modern applications connectivity in multiple and distinct use cases and operational environments. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry in order to investigate challenging aspects in the area of time-sensitive deterministic communications, as well as identify future research directions for ultra-low latency communications. Open issues and key innovations will be discussed for both network performance and network management related aspects of deterministic communications.
