Special Session 14: Agentic AI for Wireless Edge Networks: Distributed Intelligence and Resource Orchestration
“面向无线边缘网络的智能体AI:分布式智能与资源编排”  

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) offers a new research paradigm for distributed intelligence and resource orchestration in wireless edge networks. Autonomous agents can perceive dynamic network information in real time, including wireless link conditions, service demands, computing workloads, and energy supply, and translate service objectives into coordinated decisions on communication, computing, storage, and energy resources. By leveraging local observations, inter-agent information exchange, and execution feedback, they can dynamically optimize resource planning, allocation, and scheduling as network conditions evolve. However, realizing this vision faces multiple challenges, including heterogeneous node capabilities, partial observability, continuously fluctuating resource availability, and strong coupling among different resource types. Agent collaboration itself also introduces additional communication and computational overhead. These challenges call for scalable system architectures and efficient, resource-aware learning mechanisms tailored to diverse scenarios, ensuring service performance and resource efficiency while maintaining timely decision-making and operational reliability.
This special session aims to bring together researchers in wireless communications, edge computing, AI, and distributed systems to explore agent-driven resource orchestration methods for wireless networks, as well as advanced architectures and enabling technologies that support distributed intelligence. Contributions addressing theoretical foundations, architectural design, advanced learning methods, emerging application scenarios, and reproducible performance evaluation are welcome.

智能体式人工智能(Agentic AI)为无线边缘网络中的分布式智能与资源编排提供了全新研究范式。自主智能体可实时感知无线链路状态、业务需求、计算负载及能量供给等动态网络信息,将业务服务目标转化为通信、计算、存储与能量资源的协同决策;并依托局部观测、智能体间信息交互与执行反馈,随网络状态演化动态优化资源规划、分配与调度策略。然而,实现该愿景仍面临多重挑战:网络节点能力异构、环境仅部分可观测、资源可用性持续波动,以及多类型资源之间存在强耦合关系。智能体协作本身还会引入额外通信与计算开销,因此亟需面向多样化场景设计可扩展系统架构与资源感知的高效学习机制,在保障服务性能与资源效率的同时,兼顾决策时效性与运行可靠性。
本专题旨在汇聚无线通信、边缘计算、人工智能与分布式系统领域的研究人员,共同探讨智能体驱动的无线网络资源编排方法,以及支撑分布式智能的先进架构与使能技术。欢迎围绕理论基础、架构设计、前沿学习方法、新兴应用场景与可复现性能评估等方向投稿。本次专题征稿主题包括但不限于:
