Title: Blockchain and Post-Quantum Cryptography
Summary:
Blockchain and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) are two distinct but related fields in the realm of computer science and cryptography. Blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that allows for secure and transparent transactions between parties without the need for a trusted intermediary, while PQC refers to cryptographic theory and practice that aims to provide secure encryption methods that remain secure even after the emergence of quantum computers.
Quantum computers have the potential to break traditional cryptographic methods, including those used in blockchain technology. Therefore, the development of PQC is particularly important for blockchain security. The use of PQC algorithms in blockchain could provide a more secure and resistant system against quantum attacks.To implement PQC in blockchain, new cryptographic protocols based on PQC algorithms need to be developed and integrated with the existing blockchain architecture. This requires addressing not only the technical aspects of PQC algorithms but also the operational and economic implications of the proposed changes.One possible approach to incorporating PQC into blockchain technology is through a hybrid scheme that combines both traditional and PQC cryptographic techniques. This approach could offer a transitional solution as PQC algorithms are still under development and may not be efficient enough to be used in all aspects of blockchain. The development of PQC is critical for ensuring the security and long-term viability of blockchain technology, and the integration of PQC algorithms with blockchain requires careful consideration of technical, operational, and economic factors.

Title: Array Signal Processing
Keywords: Phased array, MIMO array, WDA array, FDA array, Massive MIMO array, reconfigurable reflective array, 4D MMW array, distributed aperture array, bi/multi-static array.
Summary:
Array signal processing is a process of obtaining the interested parameters by enhancing the desired signal while suppressing the interfering signal via the information obtained from multiple sensors placed in space. Usually, it can be divided into two branches: beamforming and parameter estimation. At present, the array system has gradually developed from phased array and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array to waveform diversity antenna (WDA) array or frequency diversity antenna (FDA) array. Also, the geometry form is evolved from single static, bi/multi-static to network.
Array signal processing has been widely used in communications, radar, navigation, telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C), sonar and radio astronomy and other fields. Typical practical applications include massive MIMO array and reconfigurable reflective array for communication, 4-dimensional millimeter wave (4D MMW) array for autonomous vehicle, anti-jamming array for navigation, conformal array for TT&C, towed sonar array, square kilometer array (SKA) for radio messages, etc.
In this session, we are open to any optimization frameworks for the trade-off between high performance and low cost, efficient optimization algorithms for antenna selection and precise beam modulation, parameter estimation methods with high precision and high resolution, mainlobe/sidelobe interference suppression schemes in complex electromagnetic environments, robust processing methods in the presence of gain and phase mismatches, and fast processing technique for large-scale array dimensionality reduction. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
1）Low-cost array design and processing
2）Array geometry optimization
3）Array beamforming
4）Array parameter estimation
5）Mainlobe/sidelobeinterference suppressing
6）Robust array signal processing

Title: Complex System Modeling and Its Digital Solutions
Keywords: Complex system modeling & optimization, intelligent computing, decision support, fuzzy inference
Summary: Logistics industry is a pillar industry related to the national economy. Its inefficient (not enough to information building) and disordered (not strong to intensive degree) operation is an important reason for the slow decline of China's logistics GDP (14.6%) into the bottleneck period, so that there is a significant gap compared with advanced logistics countries (GDP (8~9%)). In order to meet the needs of the digital development for the national logistics industry and break through the above bottlenecks, this project focuses on the land transportation segment of "Depot - Vehicle dispatching – Order delivery"，with " formalizing mathematical description problem for the normal mode modern logistics ", "vehicle dispatching/order delivery in multi-goal/multi-constraint/multi-element optimization algorithm" and "building high-speed/high-accuracy vehicle dispatching/order delivery support system " of these three scientific problems on theory and application technology research, aiming to make achievements in mathematical modeling (discrete mathematical description), core algorithm (intelligent calculation of multi-level mixed data structure) and application development (constructing of vehicle dispatching/order delivery support system); The research carries out the above research plan with 11 detailed steps; Fulfillingthe great vision of digitalization/precision/intelligence/efficiency/low-carbonization, and contributes to the huge needs of delicacy management and high-quality development of logistics industry; At the same time, it is expected to use for reference to the related areas such as cargo and shipping.

Title: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Assisted Wireless Networks
Summary:
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is an emerging technology of reconfiguring wireless propagation environments through passive and tunable signal controls. It can be used to improve received signal strengths, reduce the transmit power consumption, and combat eavesdropping in wireless networks. However, due to the “multiplicative” fading effects, it is not trivial to acquire channel state information (CSI) when the number of RIS elements is huge in the multi-antenna systems. Hence, it is crucial but difficult to design RIS-assisted communication, computing and localization techniques based on imperfect CSI in wireless networks. This special workshop is aimed to introduce the state‐of‐the‐art researches on performance analysis, algorithm design, systematic design and implementation of RIS-assisted wireless networks. Suitable topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Active and passive beamforming design in RIS transmissions
Joint trajectory and beamforming design for Aerial RISs in wireless networks
RIS aided localization and sensing based on perfect/imperfect CSI
Scheduling and resource allocation in RIS assisted edge computing systems
Joint design of RIS-based communication and channel estimation empowered by AI techniques
Robust and secure communications in RIS-assisted wireless networks
