DESCRIPTION:There have been rapid and exciting developments in recent years
  in satellite networks\, in particular\, in LEO mega-constellations such a
 s SpaceX&#39;s Starlink. Although less visible\, exciting developments have al
 so been taking place in a certain type of aerial networks known as the hig
 h-altitude platform station (HAPS) systems\, such as the formation of HAPS
  Alliance which brings together the connectivity and aerospace industries.
  It is worth noting that the satellite and aerial networks discussions hav
 e been occurring exclusively in the context of remote and rural connectivi
 ty. A major concern in this context is the rather questionable business ca
 se\; there is limited revenue in rural and remote regions. In this talk\, 
 a novel vision will be presented for an integrated terrestrial-aerial-sate
 llite networks architecture as a key enabler for the super smart cities of
  2030s and beyond.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Halim Yanikomeroglu\, \n\nVirtual: h
