H2020 INCOMING project organized a second special session on Massive IoT communications and Edge Computing as part of BalkanCom 2022. Collecting massive amounts of data and its processing in a timely manner at the network edge enables a number of emerging distributed and low-latency network applications and services. Wireless communication technologies that provide massive access to the network by billions of devices, efficient distributed storage, and computing algorithms facilitate the development of future large-scale autonomous systems. Some of the important examples of application areas fostered by these technolgies are smart grid, smart cities, smart transportation, smart agriculture and personalized healthcare.

Recent advances in uncoordinated access protocols, edge and cloud computing, and machine learning applications open exciting new possibilities for novel networking architectures and solutions tailored for massive IoT systems. This special session aimed to present the recent advances in the theoretical foundations and practical applications of massive IoT systems and edge computing algorithms and architectures.

BalkanCom is a major event focused on communications, networking and signal processing in the Balkan Region. It is a new conference, conceived as a small single-track event that promotes high research quality standards and brings world-class keynote speakers and researchers to one of the Balkan countries each year. BalkanCom 2022 is successfully organized as a physical event in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Keynote speakers lineup included Prof. Vincent Poor (Princeton University), Prof. Muriel Medard (MIT) and Prof. Helmut Bolcskei (ETH Zurrich).

4th INCOMING EXPERT TRAINING BY CHALMERS

Lecturer: Prof. Alexandre Graell i Amat (CHALMERS)

Title: Probabilistic Machine Learning

Dates: 26th – 29th April 2022.

The fourth expert training was provided in person by Prof. Alexandre Graell i Amat. The topic was Probabilistic Machine Learning and it covered important aspects of WP3 research, including probabilistic graphical models and variational and Monte Carlo inference methods. Besides theoretical lectures, the training included practical problem solving sessions, that will raise the skills and expertise of ICONIC researchers (in particular, members of the Information Processing group) in the domain of machine learning.

3rd INCOMING EXPERT TRAINING BY AAU

Lecturer: Prof. Cedomir Stefanovic (AAU)

Title: Uplink Cellular Communications

Date: 11th-14th April 2022.

The first in-person expert training is provided by Prof. Cedomir Stefanovic (AAU) in the domain
of WP2 activities on Uplink cellular communications. The training took place between 11th and
14th of April 2022 at the University of Novi Sad. Besides theoretical lectures, the training will include practical problem solving sessions, that will raise the skills and expertise of ICONIC researchers (in particular, members of the Communications group) in the domain of massive IoT, 5G and random access algorithms in modern wireless networks.
