This enables ultra-l ow-latency and highly reliable interaction between humans and machines in real time. Realizing this vision motivated a decade of research spanning p assive optical networks\, converged fiber-wireless (FiWi) architectures\, multi-access edge computing (MEC)\, and the coordination of physical and d igital tasks between humans and robots. In this talk\, we give a brief ove rview of the evolution of telecommunication networks and then highlight th ree paradigm shifts that define the transition toward next-generation 6G n etworks: (i) a cyber-physical continuum\, in which communication networks deliver not only data\, but also computation and physical action\; (ii) su stainability\, calling for energy-autonomous network operation\; and (iii) services beyond communication\, which involves smart inference and decisi on-making. These three shifts directly motivate our vision of a self-susta inable Smart Ocean and the maritime IoT research program at MARBLE\, where the computation and actuation planes will be integrated into the network ’s data plane. The talk will also present the group's research vision\, open problems\, and opportunities for future collaborations.\n\nSpeaker Bi o: Amin Ebrahimzadeh received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical en gineering from the University of Tabriz\, Iran\, in 2009 and 2011\, respec tively\, and the Ph.D. degree (Hons.) in telecommunications from the Insti tut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS)\, Montreal\, QC\, Canada\ , in 2019.
