 ll be ultra-large-scale\, highly dynamic\, and complex systems\, encompass
 ing a massive number of heterogeneous devices. However\, the architecture 
 of the current wireless networks is often fixed\, and the optimization tas
 ks are defined to cope with specific and identified challenges and service
 s. Hence\, the prevailing manual and predetermined optimization and config
 uration tasks are no longer appropriate for future networks. We are workin
 g on resolving such issues by proposing a framework inspired by theories a
 nd tools inspired by complex systems science\, focusing on the impact of n
 etwork topology on the system&#39;s (i) information representation and transfe
 r\, (ii) robustness\, and (iii) self-synchronization capabilities. We will
  also look into how the IoT is creating a new structure of awareness – a
  cybernetic one – upon physical processes and discuss how industries of 
 different kinds are expected to join soon this revolution\, leading to the
  so-called Factories of the Future\, also called Industry 5.0. We will the
 n discuss different problems in this space and how to solve them resorting
  to tools from mmWave\, AI\, and semantic communications.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. N
