SPbSUT scientists at the Global Symposium on Standardization

SPbSUT scientists Andrey Kucheryavy, Ammar Saleh Ali Muthanna and Artem Volkov took part in the Global Symposium on Standardization in Delhi (India) on October 14.

Professor Andrey Kucheryavy spoke at a high-level meeting on the same day.

Head of the Department of Communication Networks and Data Transmission Andrey Kucheryavy answered two strategic questions in his speech. The first is how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the metaverse integrate with the network and what capabilities are already being used in practice. The second question is what problems there are in the implementation of AI and metaverses on communication networks and how to solve them.

AI is already well-used for traffic forecasting tasks: both short-term for traffic management and long-term for network planning. In addition, the use of AI has proven itself very well in monitoring tasks, where you actually have to work with big data in real time. Machine and deep learning methods are used for these tasks. Fog computing may begin to be widely used, and in the modern understanding of dynamic fog computing in the near future. There are already positive results in the use of metaheuristic algorithms, which are now also classified as AI technologies. The use of AI capabilities is expanding, which must be taken into account in the standardization process.

“The basic metaverse based on virtual, augmented and extended reality is already beginning to be implemented, but so far in a very limited volume. Based on the theoretical justification of the possibilities of metaverses, we are working towards adding holographic interaction functions (HTC – Holographic Type Communications) to the metaverse, and have already achieved success here. Our holographic university project won third prize in the UN Metaverse: Think-a-Thon competition. Therefore, I propose to consider the integration not of the AI ​​pair and the metaverse, but of the AI ​​trio plus the metaverse plus HTC,” Professor Andrey Kucheryavy said about the metaverse.

Professor noted that things are generally going well with AI and the metaverse, with the exception of the problem of compatibility between users and the metaverse. It is already known that this problem can be effectively solved using telepresence suits. "Elon Musk's TeslaSuite telepresence suit exists in the world, the University has a KOLD suit, and colleagues in China and Japan have suits. Standards for protocols and compatibility are absolutely necessary.

Andrey Kucheryavy asked his colleagues to start standardizing telepresence suits as quickly as possible.

He added at the end of his speech that a seminar "Fashion 2030: Telepresence suits" was held at SPbSUT in November last year. According to him, the day is not far off when a fashion show of telepresence costumes will take place.
