Abstract :Looking to 2030, the future data- and communication-centric paradigms of 6G, Super-IoT (Internet of Things), and Tactile Internet (TI) will require leaps forth at technology and, notably, at a conceptual level. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be a cornerstone both on the service and network operation plane, leveraging self-sustenance and self-evolution of the infrastructure. Within such a context, the currently-in-use design methods for hardware-software (HW-SW) systems are regarded as increasingly less suitable to meet the challenge fully.
This tutorial focuses on low-complexity HW components, like sensors, actuators, and transducers, gathering attention around Micro/Nano (MEMS/NEMS) technologies. In particular, reinforcement of the HW versus SW separation and symmetry is proposed, overcoming the so-called HW-SW divide. Partial reformulation of the HW concept is proposed, leveraging the parallelism of HW/SW with classical elements in nature.
The resulting frame of reference is named WEAF Mnecosystem (Water, Earth, Air, and Fire Micro/Nanotechnologies Ecosystem). It embodies solutions based on Micro/Nanotechnologies, regarded as pivotal in the transition to 6G/TI. Then, the WEAF Mnecosystem landscape is populated by reporting state-of-the-art research activities based on Micro/Nanotechnologies, identified as key enablers of the future paradigms at stake.

Title: Physical and Virtual world – Bridging the gap in 6G
Abstract: This tutorial provides a quick overview of the effort from 6G cellular standards to support Immersive communication for 3D with high resolution video. This technology is expected to make a major impact on society by the end of this decade. To support it using 3GPP specifications, technologies currently being deployed in 5G such as eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband), URLLC (Ultra reliable low latency communication) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) which are being enhanced. This tutorial will presents typical applications that need such wireless technologies, to help the society and enhance our lives. Concepts of VR (Virtual reality), Metaverse and network performance needed to support high resolution 3D video or XR (Extended reality of VR headsets or smartphones) to display the virtual world, will be described.
In addition to entertainment applications like interactive games, others such as telesurgery, immersive learning, holographic conference will need this technology of 6G to bring about important changes. Realizing its importance, the 3GPP standard as well as ITU (Int’l Telecom Union) are working on detailed specifications to meet that goal. The major impact of 6G will be felt in driverless electric vehicles, smart manufacturing and agriculture and smart grids which will be discussed in this tutorial

Title: 5G and beyond for eHealth
Abstract: The tutorial provides baseline information for use cases related to the eHealth and Emergency domains that would be enabled by the beyond-5G mobile network (B5G) technology. It contains key information for each use case regarding their definitions, implementation, technical requirements, and trials. The idea is to adopt these use cases to demonstrate the large-scale trialling of the B5G technology specifically devoted to eHealth and Emergency domains, by supporting the B5G applications in large-scale environments (e.g. hospitals) and bringing novel applications (e.g. Remote Proctoring and Smart Ambulance), introducing societal benefits through the development of innovative B5G/6G applications.
Main use cases considered are:
Use Case 6 “Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) and Emergency Rescue in Populated Area”, aiming to offer cutting-edge B5G technological solutions for the most effective coordination for first-case responders in the context of i) triage and coordination of resources at the scene of mass casualty incidents, which could be building collapses, earthquakes, fires, or other large-scale emergencies, and ii) an emergency evacuation in the context of a crowded sporting or cultural event.
Use Case 7 “Remote Proctoring”, aiming to support remote proctoring activities in the field of interventional cardiology, offering innovative solutions based on smart tools for telepresence in the surgical field to connect expert proctors and remote hospitals.
Use Case 8 “Smart Ambulance”, adopting a 5G-connected smart ambulance operating outdoor in mobility. the ambulance is equipped with i) new audio/video communication tools (Augmented Reality – AR - and virtual reality - VR - headsets) between operators on the ambulance and supporting experts in the hospital, ii) diagnostic tools for cardiological pathology and ii) devices to guarantee an efficient and fast 5G connection in remote locations and mobility conditions, including emergency high-speed travel through congested urban areas.
Use Case 9 “Adaptive Control of Hannes Prosthetic Device” (Pisa), focusing on designing advanced control capabilities for prostheses using Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods and deployment on the Hannes arm.
