Keynote Speakers
Prof. Ing. Juraj Gazda, PhD
Juraj Gazda defended his dissertation thesis Multicarrier based transmission systems undergoing nonlinear amplification in 2010. In the time frame 2011-2014, besides his education and research activities at Technical University of Kosice, he was also with the Nokia Networks (former Nokia Siemens Networks) working as the external consultant dealing with the IMS based LTE wireless communication systems. In the past, he acted as the guest researcher at the Ramon Llull University (Barcelona, Spain), Technical University of Hamburg, Harburg (Germany) and Delft University of Technology (Netherlands). In 2013, he visited Verizon Wireless (Dallas, TX, USA) to consult the design of IMS based LTE network for Verizon Wireless.
Title of Talk (CICT 2024):
Concept of Autonomous Mobility, Powered by AI and Edge Computing
Abstract of Talk (CICT 2024):
In this talk, we will explore the intersection of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), edge computing, multi-agent cooperation, computer vision, and large language models (LLMs) to tackle emerging challenges in intelligent transportation. Edge computing enables decentralized, low-latency processing, essential for real-time decision-making in tasks such as obstacle detection and navigation. Multi-agent cooperation, in this context, focuses on efficient sharing of radio and computational resources, ensuring that vehicles can dynamically allocate bandwidth and processing power to maintain high performance in communication and computation-heavy environments. Computer vision technologies enable vehicles to interpret complex surroundings through advanced scene analysis, enhancing safety and decision-making. Additionally, LLMs contribute to processing large amounts of contextual data, enabling more human-like reasoning and complex decision-making. Together, these technologies offer a holistcapproach to advancing the capabilities of autonomous vehicles, creating more robust, intelligent, and sustainable transportation systems.
