Prof. Pascal Lorenz,
Senior Member of the IEEE, IARIA FellowSpeech Title: Architectures of Next Generation Wireless Networks
Abstract: Internet Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms are expected to enable wide spread use of real time services. New standards and new communication architectures allowing guaranteed QoS services are now developed. We will cover the issues of QoS provisioning in heterogeneous networks, Internet access over 5G networks and discusses most emerging technologies in the area of networks and telecommunications such as IoT, SDN, Edge Computing and MEC networking. We will also present routing, security, baseline architectures of the inter-networking protocols and end-to-end traffic management issues.

Prof. Noor Maizura Mohamad Noor,
Pro Vice-Chancellor (Industry Linkages, Community and Digital)Speech Title: Intelligent Decision Support Systems for Next-Generation Communication Ecosystems
Abstract: The rapid evolution of communication technologies from 5G toward 6G, together with the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), is fundamentally transforming the way communication systems operate. Future communication ecosystems will no longer serve merely as channels for data transmission; instead, they will become intelligent platforms capable of sensing, learning, predicting, and making autonomous decisions in real time. This paradigm shift presents unprecedented opportunities for Decision Support Systems (DSS) to evolve into intelligent, adaptive, and context-aware systems that enhance decision quality across complex communication environments. The concept of Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) as the next evolutionary stage of traditional DSS. Unlike conventional DSS that primarily assist human decision-makers through historical data analysis, IDSS integrates machine learning, deep learning, federated learning, edge intelligence, and network analytics to provide predictive, prescriptive, and autonomous decision-making capabilities. It explores how AI-driven DSS can optimize communication networks, improve spectrum allocation, enhance Quality of Service (QoS), strengthen cybersecurity, enable smart city applications, support intelligent transportation systems, and facilitate digital healthcare through real-time data analytics. Furthermore, emerging technologies including digital twins, explainable AI, trustworthy AI, federated intelligence, and self-optimizing networks that will shape future communication ecosystems. It also addresses critical challenges related to privacy preservation, ethical AI, interoperability, scalability, and governance of intelligent decision systems. Finally, a future research roadmap is proposed, highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration among communication engineering, artificial intelligence, data science, and decision sciences to build sustainable, resilient, and human-centered intelligent communication ecosystems for the 6G era and beyond.
