Abstract
The 3G and 4G mobile communications had been developed for many years. The 5G mobile communication is scheduled to be launched in 2020. In the future, a wireless network is of various size of cells and different type of communication technologies, forming a special architecture of Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet). Under the complex network architecture, interference and handover problems are critical challenges in access network. How to efficiently manage small cells and to choose an adequate access mechanism for the better quality of service is a vital research issue. Traditional network architecture can no longer support existing network requirements. It is necessary to develop a novel network architecture. Therefore, this keynote speech will share a solution of deep learning-based B5G mobile network which can enhance and improve communication performance through combing some specific technologies. e.g., deep learning, fog computing, cloud computing, cloud radio access network (C-RAN) and fog radio access network (F-RAN).

Abstract
The increased dependence on cyber systems in business, finance, government and education make them prime targets for cyberattacks due to the profound and catastrophic damage these attacks might inflict on our economy and all aspects of our life. It is widely recognized that cyber resources and services can be penetrated and exploited. Furthermore, it is widely accepted that the cyber resilient techniques are the most promising solutions to mitigate cyber attacks and change the game to advantage the defender over the attacker. In this presentation, I will present an approach based on biological systems to develop autonomic cybersecurity technologies that will significantly change how we manage, secure and protect cyber resources and services. Our approach is based on autonomic computing (self-manage systems with little or no involvement from users or system administrators), data mining, and anomaly behavior analysis techniques. The main building component to implement Autonomic Cyber Security (ACS) are: 1) Innovative data structures (cyber-DNAs) to accurately detect current operational state of any cyber system and predict its behavior in the near future; 2) Anomaly Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodology that can detect with high accuracy and almost no false alarms any anomalous behavior triggered by cyberattacks, faults (hardware or software) and accidents (malicious or natural); and 3) Self-Management Engine to deliver automated and semi-automated actions so we can proactively stop or mitigate the impacts of cyberattacks. I will show through several examples how to apply ACS to secure and protect a wide range of cyber systems and applications.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming our society and daily lives by connecting the world. This is expected to fundamentally transform industry, business, transportation and healthcare. However, this ubiquitous connection brings with it many challenges that range from security, scalability, data analytics, to device-level protocols. It is estimated that there will be hundreds of billions of IoT devices that need to be connected in the next few years. In addition, more than half of the world's population live in cities, many with multiple devices that need to be connected to the Internet. This is expected to create a complex infrastructure. These smart services rely on computation and communication resources. Furthermore, being able to provide adequate services using these complex systems present enormous challenges.
In this Keynote, we review the current efforts by experts around the world to mitigate some of these challenges. Then, we showcase our research activities to contribute to these efforts and advocate possible solutions using AI and other tools. We provide ways on how to manage the available resources intelligently and efficiently in order to offer better living conditions and provide better services. Finally, we discuss some of our research results to support a variety of applications including how to secure these devices for successful healthcare service delivery in different aspects.
