REWARDING project is present at Science and Technology Fair as part of the Fond za nauku Republike Srbije – Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia area in Hall 2B of Belgrade Fair. Come and visit our demo with water buoy model equipped with water quality sensors, a drone with wireless mobile communication and water sampling equipment, and backend services with support for ML/AI algorithms. See you at Belgrade Fair this week!
For the past decade, similar to global trends, our study program on Communication Technologies and Signal Processing had limited popularity (overshadowed by Computer and Software engineering). However, the quality of students, and in particular female students, was astonishing. To celebrate this, we decided to invite five among the best of them to describe their younger peers their career paths beyond the moment they graduated our study program in exciting fields of communications, signal processing, machine learning and AI.
Many thanks to Tijana Devaja for event organisation, and to Danica Despotović, Anastazia Zunic, Simona Etinski, Tijana Zrnic and Kristina Gligorić for responding to this invitation. See you next Wednesday at 15:00h in NTP building (NTP-L01).
Prof. Dejan Vukobratovic from ICONIC centre participated at IEEE CSCN 2023 panel on Standardisation landscape for 6G robotics services moderated by Prof. Mohammad Reza Shikh-Bahaei (Kings College London), along with panelists Mona Ghassemian (Huawei), Cristina Ciochina-Duchesne (Mitsubishi Electric), Prof. Albena Mihovska (Aarhus University) and Kamran Sayrafian (NIST).
The panel explored standard initiatives, professional organisation and industrial fora and alliances that are primary coordinate their efforts on specific subjects of communication and robotics. ICT examples are 3GPP, IETF, IEEE, ETSI, M2M, and Robotics examples are ISO/TC, IEC, A3, ria, ANSI, VDMA, IFR, ADRA, eu-robotics.
This panel included discussions related to integrating mobile communication capability into robotics systems had gained significant momentum and how this integration can give rise to new possibilities to address relevant industrial and societal challenges. The panel further discussed where the current communication systems fall short to satisfy these requirements and what needs to be overcome in 6G for future robotic and automation systems.
Our colleagues and researchers Nikola Simić and Prof. Dragana Bajovic (MARVEL project technical manager) are featured in one of the major daily newspapers in Vojvodina and Serbia, Dnevnik, where they describe their achievements in EU H2020 MARVEL Project, in particular, their work on multi-modal distributed machine learning using audio-visual data from drones, cameras and microphones in emerging Smart Cities. Congrats for successful completion of MARVEL(ous) project!

We are looking forward to tomorrow’s talk by Prof. Dush Nalin Jayakody from Universidade Lusófona – Centro Universitário Lisboa who is visiting us as part of Remarkable – Rural Environmental Monitoring project. He will present a lecture on Green UAV-Assisted Wireless Communications. Join us tomorrow (Tuesday, 07th of November) at FTN-NTP building room L01 at 10:00h for this interesting lecture.
Join us tomorrow at NTP-L01 meeting room (Faculty of Technical Sciences, Science and Technology Park building) at 12:00h for a lecture entitled Localisation in Wireless Networks presented by Slavisa Tomic, assistant professor at Universidade Lusófona – Centro Universitário Lisboa, whose visit is supported by EU Horizon Europe project Remarkable – Rural Environmental Monitoring.
H2020-INCOMING project is coming to an end. We had three great years of collaboration with Aalborg University, Chalmers University of Technology and German Aerospace Center (DLR), the partership that will certainly continue. Next week is our final outreach event. On Tuesday, at Naučno-tehnološki park Novi Sad/ Science and Technology Park Novi Sad we will recall what we did together. On Wednesday, at Crowne Plaza Belgrade, we will look into the future beyond 5G, taking the path towards 6G with 6 world-renowned experts: Petar Popovski, Ivan Seskar, Haris Gačanin, David Gomez-Barquero, Kostas Chalkiotis and Bob Stewart. Thanks everyone for contributing to H2020-INCOMING and making it a success, we all look forward to this event!
This week we had an excellent workshop as part of Serbia-China bilateral project “AI-enabled IoT Data Transmission Technologies” between Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad and Tongji University with fruitful discussions between the Tongji team: Prof. Chao Wang, Prof. 刘富强 (Fuqiang Liu), Dr Yan Liu and Dr Zuxing Li and our team. We look forward for the follow-up workshop during the end of September at Tongji (along with the IEEE SPAWC 2023 conference in Shanghai).
Nikolaos Bartzoudis will give a talk in a hybrid mini workshop at the University of Novi Sad organized by Professor Dejan Vukobratovic (Thursday 29th of June). The workshop entitled “University of Novi Sad and CTTC mini colloquium on B5G R&D topics and future synergies” is supported by the project H2020-INCOMING.
The goal of this joint activity is i) to present an overview of ongoing R&D projects led by the ADAPT & ISPIC Research Units at the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) and from different research groups at the University of Novi Sad, ii) dive into technical topics with focused talks and iii) build a federation among the involved research groups with the goal to explore collaboration strategies.
The workshop will also include two more invited talks (remote) by David López-Bueno and Adrian Agustin. Complementary follow-up meetings and technical iterations will take place on Friday 30th of June.
With great pleasure we announce a lecture presented by Prof. Branka Vucetic on AI-based design of 6G networks. Join us at Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, NTP building, 4th floor, room 418 at 11:00h on Wednesday 21st of June for this exciting lecture.
IEEE ISCAS 2023 conference, a flagship conference of IEEE CASS – Circuits and Systems Society has just finished with excellent news for ICONIC centre. Our two colleagues, Natasa Samardzic and Stanisa Dautovic are elected as voting members of IEEE CASS Cellular Nanoscale Network and Memristor Array Computing (CNN-MAC) Technical Committee. Congratulations!
