Keynote on Millimeter-wave technology and research trends for 5G Access and Wireless Transmission applications
An industry view, by Dr. Renato Lombardi
Abstract: High interest in millimeter-wave bands has risen in the recent years due to the enormous amount of under-utilized bandwidth that lies in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The significant advantages offered by the propagation characteristics in terms of frequency re-usability and large channel bandwidths, make millimeter-wave suitable for the very high capacities required by 5G enhanced Mobile BroadBand (10 Gpbs peak throughput and 10 Mbps/m2) both for the Radio Access Network and the Backhaul.
The millimeter-wave bands can be suitably used for the access networks to increase the throughput to the User Equipment and the backhaul/front-haul of the base stations. At the same time the use of millimeter-wave bands, thanks to very compact antenna size that makes products ``blend'' in the environment, allows the densification of the cells in dense urban scenarios.
From the considerations outlined so far it is relatively easy to evince the importance that the research will play in the next years in the many areas that will be necessary to cover in order to develop systems capable to operate at very high capacity with spectral efficiency, high performance, at frequencies up to 175 GHz in medium term and above 240 GHz in the long term.

Keynote on MIMO Technology for 5G and Beyond, by Prof. Emil Björnson
Abstract: A Over the past decade, Massive MIMO has gone from being a wild multi-antenna concept for improving the data rates in future cellular networks to mainstream technology. Massive MIMO is a core technology in 5G or, at least, this is what operators and manufacturers are claiming. But how close to the theoretical predictions will the 5G Massive MIMO technology actually perform? In this keynote, we will first answer this question and thereby reveal the main weaknesses of the MIMO technology in 5G. We will then take a look at potential technology evolutions that might address these weaknesses in beyond 5G networks. This includes cell-free networking, holographic beamforming, metasurfaces, and machine
learning.

He joined Linköoping University, Sweden, in 2014, where he is currently an Associate Professor and a Docent with the Division of Communication Systems.
He has authored the textbooks Optimal Resource Allocation in Coordinated Multi-Cell Systems (2013) and Massive MIMO Networks: Spectral, Energy, and Hardware Efficiency (2017). He is dedicated to reproducible research and has made a large amount of simulation code publicly available. He performs research on MIMO communications, radio resource allocation, machine learning for communications, and energy efficiency. Since 2017, he has been on the Editorial Board of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GREEN COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING since 2016.
He has performed MIMO research for over ten years and has filed more than ten MIMO related patent applications.

Tutorial on Learning From Constraints, by Prof. Marco Gori
Abstract: Learning and inference are traditionally regarded as the two opposite, yet complementary and puzzling components of intelligence. In this talk we point out that a constrained-based modeling of the environmental agent interactions makes it possible to unify learning and inference within the same mathematical framework. The unification is based on the abstract notion of constraint, which provides a representation of knowledge granules gained from the interaction with the environment. The agents are based on a deep neural network architecture, and their learning and inferential processes are driven by different schemes for enforcing the environmental constraints.
Logic constraints are also included thanks to their translation into real-valued functions that arises from the adoption of opportune t-norms. Computational models like graph neural networks can be incorporated in the proposed framework thanks the expression of structured domains by constraints.
The basic ideas are presented by simple case studies ranging from learning and inference in social nets, missing data, checking of logic constraints, and pattern generation. The theory offers a natural bridge between the formalization of knowledge and the inductive acquisition of concepts from data.
Bio: Marco Gori received the Ph.D. degree in 1990 from Università di Bologna, Italy, working partly at the School of Computer Science (McGill University, Montreal). In 1992, he became an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Università di Firenze and, in November 1995, he joint the Università di Siena, where he is currently full professor of computer science.
His main interests are in machine learning with applications to pattern recognition, Web mining, and game playing. He is especially interested in bridging logic and learning and in the connections between symbolic and sub-symbolic representation of information. He was the leader of the WebCrow project for automatic solving of crosswords, that outperformed human competitors in an official competition which took place during
the ECAI-06 conference. As a follow up of this grand challenge he founded QuestIt, a spin-off company of the University of Siena, working in the field of question-answering.
He is co-author of "Web Dragons: Inside the myths of search engines technologies," Morgan Kauffman (Elsevier), 2006, and “Machine Learning: A Constrained-Based Approach,” Morgan Kauffman (Elsevier), 2018.
Dr. Gori serves (has served) as an Associate Editor of a number of technical journals related to his areas of expertise, he has been the recipient of best paper awards, and keynote speakers in a number of international conferences. He was the Chairman of the Italian Chapter of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and the President of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence.
He is a fellow of the IEEE, EurAI, IAPR. He is in the list of top Italian scientists kept by the VIA-Academy (http://www.topitalianscientists.org/top_italian_scientists.aspx)
Tutorial on Blockchain, by Prof. Ivan Visconti
Abstract: The goal of this tutorial is to overview the rise of Blockchain Technology. The first part will focus on the “permissionless” setting that has become popular through the spread of cryptocurrencies and new crowdfunding mechanisms. The second part will instead focus on the permissioned setting and the challenges concerning the use of blockchains when data are confidential and/or transactions refer to physical assets.
Bio: Ivan Visconti is an associate professor of computer science at the Computer and Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics Department of the University of Salerno.
His main research topics are Cryptography and Blockchain Technology. Currently Ivan Visconti is the coordinator of the initiative CifrisChain that includes Italian cryptographers interested in blockchains and is an associate Editor of the journal IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (T-IFS). Moreover he is the scientific coordinator for University of Salerno of the H2020 European project "PRIViLEDGE" (Privacy-Enhancing Cryptography in Distributed Ledgers) that focuses Blockchain Technology.
