Scope and Topics of Interests
--------------------------------
Space-Air-Ground-Sea Integrated Networks (SAGSINs) represent the forefront of seamless and diversified network connectivity. However, several challenges must be addressed to enhance performance and security. The ultra-dense and dynamic nature of emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations introduces significant obstacles in access, networking, routing, and resource allocation. The management and optimization of SAGSINs are further complicated by the heterogeneity of hardware and communication environments. The diverse requirements, uneven distribution, and high mobility associated with terrestrial services exacerbate the complexity of End-to-End service provision. To mitigate these challenges, techniques like Software Defined Networking and network slicing are extensively explored for cooperative communication and computation. Free Space Optical (FSO) communications are anticipated to enhance transmission quality, while Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly advancements in large language models (LLMs), offers promising solutions for complex network management/optimization. Digital twins are increasingly employed to improve the reliability of these strategies through advanced simulations. LLMs, with their capabilities in intelligent data processing, real-time decision-making, and predictive analytics, have the potential to significantly enhance network management, resource allocation, and secure communication in SAGSIN. This workshop aims to convene academic and industry experts to explore fundamental and practical solutions to the challenges of intelligent communication and computation in SAGSINs. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
•       Design and analysis of the future SAGSIN architecture.
•       Deployment of satellites, aerial vehicles, and terrestrial stations for seamless coverage.
•       Network access techniques for multi-mode terminals in future SAGSINs.
•       Handover strategy for continuous and qualified data transmissions in SAGSINs.
•       Spectrum management and engineering in SAGSINs.
•       Terahertz (THz) and FSO communications for space networks.
•       Routing and switching protocol design for future SAGSINs.
•       Cooperative End-to-End (E2E) data transmission and processing.
•       Advanced SDN and network slicing techniques for SAGSINs.
•       Hierarchical computing and caching techniques in SAGSINs.
•       AI-based performance optimizations for SAGSINs.
•       Digital twin-based simulation platform design.
•       Security and privacy issues in cooperative communications and computations.
•       Integration of large language models for intelligent network management in SAGINs.
•       Application of LLMs in dynamic spectrum management within SAGINs.
•       LLM-driven optimization of handover strategies and mobility management in SAGINs.
•       Enhancing security and privacy in SAGINs through LLM-based threat detection.
•       LLM-based predictive analytics for resource allocation in SAGINs.
 
Submission Instructions
--------------------------
All submissions must be written in English in the standard IEEE two-column conference format and are limited to a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures and references. EDAS is configured to not permit the uploading of review manuscripts that exceed 6 pages. Once accepted, the final manuscript may have a 7th page, but such papers will incur an overlength page charge of US$100.
