Introduction
Our future society will be increasingly digitized, hyper-connected and globally data driven. Mobile communication technologies are expected to progress far beyond anything seen so far in wireless-enabled applications, making everyday lives smoother and safer and dramatically improving the efficiency of businesses. As fifth generation (5G) research is maturing towards a global standard, we in the research community must focus on the development of beyond-5G solutions and the 2030 era, that is, 6G, and beyond. It is not clear yet what 6G will entail. It will undoubtedly include relevant technologies considered too immature for 5G or which are outside the defined scope of 5G. More specifically, the way in which data is collected, processed, transmitted and consumed within the wireless network will be a key driver for 6G. Enabling this vision requires addressing a myriad of theoretical and practical challenges.

Objectives
5G mobile communication is still in a nascent stage and on account of carriers proceeding cautiously with this technology, its potential has not yet been fully realized. But that is not stopping futurist researchers already identifying limitations and exploring what the next iterative phase will hold. Logic suggests that 6G will offer further extreme reductions in latency and ever-faster downloads speeds - potentially reaching 1 terabit/second, an outstanding jump from the 20 gigabits that 5G offers to date.
We will thus be calling for highly innovative, state-of-the-art contributions in the form of original papers in all areas related to 6G research where authors would investigate artificial intelligence-enabled sixth generation (6G) wireless networks.

Target Audience
The potential of artificial intelligence and wireless networks is impacting all sectors, from healthcare to energy and transport, from finance and insurance to retail. It has assumed a pervasive ubiquitous macrocosm, and its positive transformational potential has already been acknowledged in multitudinous key sectors. It has as objective to amalgamate data owners, data analysts, skilled data professionals, cloud service providers, companies from industry, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, research institutions and universities and will be useful to participants from both the industry and academia working in all the domains of big data, artificial intelligence, robotics and engineering.

Recommended Topics
Suggested themes would comprise all areas related to 6G research including, but not limited to:
Wireless connectivity
Devices and circuit technologies
Services and applications
