Existing communication, computation, and control technologies are facing a dramatic paradigm shift thanks to the development and the diffusion of emerging 5G and future 6G communication networks.

Thanks to ultra-low latency, very high reliability, and very high data rates, 5G and future 6G networks will offer the opportunity of accessing a number of information sources much larger than state-of-the-art control setups are able to process in real time.

While this is a major opportunity, how to fully exploit the available information is not trivial. Tackling this issue is therefore key for unleashing the potential of this technological shift.

The objective of this project is to develop a novel information fusion framework that will overcome these challenges by a smart dynamic selection of the information sources.

The project is organized in two work packages which aim at understanding how to (re)design control algorithms in order to adaptively operate with different sets of information sources and provide a value attached to a given selection of information sources, and selectively choose, among different information sources, where to draw information from.
