Achieving this vision requires a paradigm shift from conventional reactive network operation toward zero-to uch networks that can sense\, learn\, reason\, and make decisions with min imal human intervention.\n\nThis lecture explores the convergence of sensi ng\, communication\, and intelligence as the foundation of future zero-tou ch 6G networks. It highlights how distributed intelligence\, AI-native arc hitectures\, and real-time environmental awareness can transform wireless systems into proactive and self-optimizing infrastructures.\n\nKey Topics Covered:\n\n-\nProactive Network Management: Emerging techniques for proac tive mobility\, handover management\, and intelligent IoT data collection. \n\n-\nDistributed & Scalable AI: Federated learning frameworks enabling p rivacy-preserving network intelligence across distributed environments.\n\ n-\nReconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS): Harnessing programmable wir eless environments to dynamically adapt propagation conditions for improve d coverage\, reliability\, and energy efficiency.\n\n-\nPractical & Sustai nable Deployment: Critical considerations around scalability\, sustainabil ity\, trustworthiness\, and real-world implementation challenges in next-g eneration systems.\n\nBy bridging advances in AI\, sensing\, and wireless communications\, this lecture presents a holistic perspective on the evolu tion toward autonomous 6G ecosystems and outlines key research directions shaping the future of intelligent connectivity.\n\nCentraleSupélec\, 3 Ru e Joliot Curie\, Gif sur Yvette \, Ile-de-France\, France\, 91190 LOCATION:CentraleSupélec\, 3 Rue Joliot Curie\, Gif sur Yvette \, Ile-de-F rance\, France\, 91190 ORGANIZER:amenallahkrissane@ieee.org SEQUENCE:60 SUMMARY:IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Towards Zero-Touch 6G Networks — RIS\, AI-Native Intelligence\, and Proactive Wireless Decision Making URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/586915 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-path-to-node="7">Join us for an insig htful IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecture presented by <stro ng data-path-to-node="7" data-index-in-node="89">Dr. Lina Mohjazi</strong> (Associate Professor at the James Watt School of Engineering and IEEE Com Soc DL 2026&ndash\;2027).</p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node="8">Abstract</h3>\n<p data-path-to-node="9">The vision of 6G extends far beyond enhanced connec tivity\, aiming to enable fully autonomous\, intelligent\, and adaptive wi reless ecosystems capable of supporting mission-critical services\, immers ive applications\, and massive machine-type communications.
