Biography
Abstract
Markus Dillinger (Huawei)
Markus Dillinger was working in several positions for Siemens Networks and later Nokia Siemens for 2nd, 3rd and 4th mobile network generation research and product management for vertical customers from 1991-2010.
In 2010 he joined Huawei Germany and was director for enterprise solutions for smart grid.
In 2013 he has joined Huawei European Research Centre as Head of Wireless Internet Technologies where he runs private and public R&D programmes for e.g. car-to-car and automation supporting 3GPP standardization and normative work for the vertical industry.
In September 2016 he was additionally appointed as Executive Committee member for the 5GAA and re-elected in following 2017 and 2019. He was the initiator of 5GAA within Huawei and since then leads the Munich team for their technical contributions to Working Groups and 3GPP.

Abstract
Professor Kwang-Cheng Chen, IEEE Fellow
Kwang-Cheng Chen has been a Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida, since 2016. From 1987 to 2016, Dr. Chen worked with SSE, Communications Satellite Corp., IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, National Tsing Hua University, HP Labs., and National Taiwan University in mobile communications and networks, and advised another two top fabless IC design companies and VCs. He founded a wireless IC design company, which was acquired by the MediaTek Inc. 3 years later. He has been actively involving in the organization of various IEEE conferences and serving editorships with a few IEEE journals (most recently as a series editor on Data Science and AI for Communications in the IEEE Communications Magazine, and as the Executive Chair, IEEE GLOBECOM 2020). Dr. Chen also has contributed essential technology to various international standards, namely IEEE 802 wireless LANs, Bluetooth, LTE and LTE-A, 5G-NR, and ITU-T FG ML5G. He has authored and co-authored over 300 IEEE publications, 4 books published by Wiley and River (most recently, Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Robotics, 2019), and more than 24 granted US patents (all licensed to industry). Dr. Chen is an IEEE Fellow and has received a number of awards including 2011 IEEE COMSOC WTC Recognition Award, 2014 IEEE Jack Neubauer Memorial Award, 2014 IEEE COMSOC AP Outstanding Paper Award.

EU Challenges and Plans
Jorge Pereira (EC)
Vision of Future Communications Summit is a top-quality research workshop, with the support of IEEE, oriented to identify key research areas in informatin and communication technologies in the mid-future of 7 to 10 years. It will follow from the previous event held in 2017, considering that now 5G is upon us.
The Summit will cover multiple research lines, roughly structured along Physical Layer, Network and Control Plane, and Applications and Services. Each research line will have a keynote speaker, and a set of sessions. All sessions will be organized as panels of distinguished speakers from academia, industry and High-level European Commission officials presenting their viewpoints on a subarea within each track. Panels will be oriented to encourage interaction among the panelists and between the panelists and the audience.
The purpose of the Summit is not to show what each presenter knows, but to technically identify what would be promising and challenging to achieve, and will need work from our sector's professionals.
Panels will be enriched with contributions from an open call to the community, and with sessions presenting long-term visions from different stakeholders.
Based on the public presentations and contributions of the international experts, a white paper on seminal research directions for the communications field will be produced. This white paper will be widely distributed to the community, and will be used as input by the European Commission, ITU-T and other relevant stake holders as a contribution to mid-term research directions.
In our past experience two years ago, the discussions have been very fruitful, and highlighted several areas which have been placed on the R&D roadmap in Europe and U.S. We do hope to have this year the same exciting time we had!
Venue Dates: 27th and 28th November 2019
The Visions for Future Communications Summit will be held at the "Anfiteatro JJ Laginha" of the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL). ISCTE-IUL is located in Lisbon Center, close to the Entrecampos train and metro stations.
