Call for Special Sessions
We are inviting submissions for special session proposals to APCC 2023. Special Sessions are expected to be related to the conference theme or especially hot topics within the conference scope, provide a focused discussion of new and innovative topics. A special session proposal should include the title, aim and scope (a list of the main topics), and the names, e-mail addresses, affiliations, websites, and short bios of the organizers. Special session proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness, uniqueness of the topic and qualifications of the proposers. The proposers are expected to have a good publication track record in the proposed area. Proposals of similar topics will be asked to merge or modify.
Accepted special sessions will be listed on the website of APCC 2023.
Proposals should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Vo Nguyen Quoc Bao (baovnq@ptithcm.edu.vn), Program Chair of APCC 2023. All proposals should be submitted by May 30, 2023. Early proposal submissions are encouraged.
Special Session #3: Emerging Technologies for B5G/6G Wireless Communication Systems (short paper type)
With the rapid surge in data traffic, the demand for new technologies to accommodate it is evident. Addressing concerns of high throughput, low latency, energy efficiency, and secure communication stands as pivotal in B5G/6G wireless communication systems. Recent advancements in wireless network technologies have been tailored to meet these requisites. This special section aims to amass and publish technical papers that showcase the latest research in the realm of B5G/6G wireless communication technologies.
We welcome high-quality, original research contributions in short paper type, i.e., 2-4 pages not including references, and may focus on any of the same themes or topics as long papers. spanning a spectrum of areas pertinent to emerging technologies for 6G wireless communication networks. This encompasses, but is not limited to, the subsequent themes:
• Signal processing techniques in B5G/6G
• Intelligent signal processing for communication systems
• Deep learning enabled end-to-end communication systems
• Signal processing for data analytics and machine learning
• Semantic communication systems
• Multi-antenna (SIMO, MISO, MIMO, Massive MIMO), multi-user, centralized and distributed multi node systems
• Decentralized and cooperative signal processing in networked systems
• Channel estimation and equalization
• Signal transmission, detection, and synchronization
• Novel architectures for signal demodulation and decoding
• Source coding, channel coding, and joint source-channel coding

Special Session #2: Ambient Intelligence for Smart City
The global population, particularly the urban population has been increasing, which causes a lot of issues for cities, such as congestion and increased demand for resources, including energy, water, sanitation, education, and healthcare services. A smart city has been expected a lot to solve those issues. The concept of a smart city is not new. Due to the progress of artificial intelligence (AI) and information and communication technology (ICT), including the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data (BD), the concept of a smart city has been being realized in various aspects. This special session aims to present recent advances in smart city, including various fundamental technologies helping to realize smart city and its applications.
