Dear KICS Members,
The long tunnel of the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world over the past three years seems to have an end in sight. We would like to express our gratitude to the members who are consistently working hard on R&D during this difficult time, and invite you to the KICS Fall Conference 2022.
At this conference, we will have regular general meetings to share and exchange the results of your research, reflect on the various activities of the society over the past year, and prepare for the following year. This year, the conference will be held in Gyeongju, the ancient capital city of Silla. Although the quarantine system has been greatly eased due to With Corona, we have prepared not only face-to-face offline events but also non-face to-face online events. In particular, this year, face-to-face poster sessions have been resumed to restore the appearance of past event, and industry exhibition booths are also planned. Of course, while strictly following the quarantine rules, we will do our best to ensure that the conference is safe and enjoyable for everyone who participates.
With the commercialization of 5G mobile communications, the competition to secure new 6G mobile communications technologies is increasing. As artificial intelligence converges diverse industrial fields and introduces innovations, we have noticed that the role of the Korean Telecommunications Society grows bigger. To this end, the Korea Telecommunications Society organized ICT Convergence Korea 2022, the largest ICT convergence event in Korea this year, AI Frontiers Summit, which looks at the current position and development direction of artificial intelligence. The successful hosting of these events shows that KICS leads innovations of information and communication technology, as well as artificial intelligence and convergence technology.
This year, we will have more than 500 academic papers in information technology, communication technology, and related convergence technologies. In addition, we will have Jong Sung Hwang, the president of the National Information Society Agency, give an invitational lecture on “The Future of Digital Transformation: Interplay between Human, Technology, and Society”. In the special session of 6G RI, we will have experts from physical layer technology, AI-Native 6G network, Network slicing, channel coding and exchange the latest technologies. In addition, we will have the tutorial on the full-duplex wireless technology for 6G and next generation WiFi systems. We will also have special sessions organized by KICS societies and various research centers. We will host diverse programs such as undergraduate research contests. We would like to encourage all members to participate in this year's conference.
We hope that this event will be useful and valuable to all of our members. Also, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Fall conference members of KICS and the secretariat for their hard work in preparing this event.
Warm regards,
November, 2022
