Abstract - It is expected that future mobile networks will be ultra-large-scale, highly dynamic, and complex systems, encompassing a massive number of heterogeneous devices. However, the architecture of the current wireless networks is often fixed, and the optimization tasks are defined to cope with specific and identified challenges and services. Hence, the prevailing manual and predetermined optimization and configuration tasks are no longer appropriate for future networks. We are working on resolving such issues by proposing a framework inspired by theories and tools inspired by complex systems science, focusing on the impact of network topology on the system's (i) information representation and transfer, (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 then discuss different problems in this space and how to solve them resorting to tools from mmWave, AI, and semantic communications.
