The consolidation of the Internet into a global and pervasive communication network has given rise to a connected global society that generates a massive amount of data. The Internet is, in reality, an interconnection of heterogeneous networks, flexible enough to allow the deployment of new applications. On the other hand, the dissemination of sensors in a wide variety of everyday devices allows the construction of intelligent systems, such as smart cities, which have the potential to provide greater social well-being, as well as boost the economy.
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a fundamental area for solving difficult problems has led to its adoption in different systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and communication networks. The processing of raw data generated by sensors has the potential to generate information, knowledge, and added value. The multiplicity and diversity of information in the operation of communication networks demands solutions that are only possible through the use of AI.
This proposal aims to explore the introduction of intelligence into future communication and IoT networks, enabling new services capable of meeting the complex demands of society. The intention is to adopt a methodology for developing intelligent technologies inherent to the operation of these networks and their services. Furthermore, the generation of a specialized critical mass will allow the Brazilian State to remain at the forefront of the new digital age and its great opportunities for wealth creation and well-being.
The proposal fundamentally involves enabling and production-oriented strategic areas, such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and Communications, geared towards producing solutions for strategic areas such as: production, industry and services; quality of life; health; sustainable development, environmental preservation, and smart cities.
