This document discusses opportunities and challenges in the ICT industry from the perspective of the chairman and CEO of a major telecommunications company. It notes that the ICT industry is experiencing solid growth rates again after a period of decline. Growth is being driven by increasing smartphone adoption, the development of mobile broadband networks, and the digitalization of the real economy. However, capturing opportunities will require significant investments in both fixed and mobile networks to support the exponential growth in broadband traffic. Telcos play a key role in the ICT ecosystem by providing network infrastructure and platforms for applications and services.
Wi-Fi Driving Mobile Internet Explosion in Next Generation NetworksGreen Packet
The proliferation of Wi-Fi enabled devices and growth in Wi-Fi hotspot deployment is predicted to rise 350% by 2015 and it is necessary for operators to innovate quickly to an ecosystem of scalable, integrated, efficient network to drive customers experience; offload busy mobile broadband networks; and provide a value-added services platform.
Operators are turning customer centric strategies to pragmatic practice. Universally, operators have expressed strong interest to derive revenues beyond connectivity. The vision of broadband has allowed juggling a mix between cost, revenue, intelligence and performance. In this paper, the study of Wi-Fi explores the potential of new generation of services, connected devices value chain and growth opportunities from emerging embedded systems that is worthwhile investing strategically.
Shift of connectedness is key component in bringing new services to market, closing the gap on disparate radio technologies onto integrated delivery platform for smart monetization of new service models and simplifying the Wi-Fi experience altogether.
The 5G era: New horizons for advanced-electronics and industrial companiesDESMOND YUEN
The next generation of wireless connectivity has arrived: 5G has the capacity to support a huge number of connections simultaneously while improving speed, latency, reliability, and power consumption for handsets and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. As with the transition from 3G to 4G, there are many uncertainties. Where is the value coming from, and who is going to capture it? What are the use cases where 5G performance enhancements will generate the most value and demand? And which applications will most benefit from 5G?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
