	Abstract: Autonomous Driving Networks (ADN), which is also called Zero-Touch Network and Services (ZSM) or self-driving networks, aims at tackling the challenges resulting from the increasing O&M complexity and cost of today’s telecom networks, ultimately achieving fully intelligent and automated O&M by leveraging AI techniques and new networking and communication technologies. It is well recognized that on a journey towards ADN, resilience and trust should be always put in the center, without which the value of ADN, as well as the confidence of operators, ISPs, and customers, will be significantly undermined. Therefore, this panel aims to bring together a number of leading experts with different expertise (e.g., networking, security, machine learning) to extensively discuss this topic, share their views and lessons learned, and provide their insights and perspectives.

Instructions

For Paper Presenters

Each paper is allocated a 30-min slot. The presentation part should last for 20-25 minutes to leave at least 5 mins for questions and answers.

Pre-recorded videos are required for all paper presentations, and their links will be added after each session is held. In-person participants can choose to present the presentation live, but please make sure the presentation will not last longer than 25 minues. Please follow the instructions here to prepare your video and fill the Pre-Recorded Video Information Form by Friday 2nd September 12pm UK summer time (UTC+1).

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of your session and check with the session chair / local helpers on A/V if you are presenting live and test your Zoom setup if you are presenting remotely. If you are presenting live, please consider copying your presentation file to a USB stick so that you can present from the computer in the lecture threatre to allow a smoother transition between presentations.

All presentations automatically enter the competition for the Best Presentation Award, and local judges can be attending your presentation to conduct their judging work. The winner of the Best Presentation Award will be announced in the last session on the last day of the Conference.

For Session Chairs

If you are chairing remotely, all presentations in your session will be remote. During the session, the local helpers in the lecture theatre will help you communicate with in-person participants. If you are chairing in person, there may be questions from remote participants. We will have two dedicated local researchers looking after the Zoom platform who will remind you about any questions.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes earlier before the start of your session. Check with all presenters of your session to ensure all are present and have checked A/V and/or Zoom setup before the session start.

Please control the time of any live presentations and remind the presenter at 20 minutes and stop the presentation at 25 minutes to allow the audience to ask questions.

Please also make notes of all presentations and presenters' answers to questions, and share the notes with the Local Award Judging Panel Chair Keenan Jones so the panel can consider your feedback for the selection of the Best Presentation Award.

If possible, please read the papers in your session before hand using the link of the online proceedings at the top of the page. Prepare some questions in case there are no or just a few simple questions from the audience.

For Poster Presenters

The standard poster size is A1 and we recommend you use the portrait orientation. The conference will provide velcro sellotapes for fastening the poster to the poster board, so you don't need to bring your own pins/tacks/sellotapes.

Poster boards will be available throughout the Conference so posters can be displayed from Day 1 and remain until Day 4. If you will attend only Day 3, you can send your poster via post to us using the address below. We can also print the poster for you if you haven't printed it out yet. In this case, please contact the Poster/Demo Co-Chairs to make an arrangement.

Canterbury, CT2 7NP, UK

Most posters will be presented in person. For accommodating remote participants and poster presenters who will attend remotely, we are identifying a platform to facilitate the interaction between the presenter and the audience. More details will be released here.

The Poster/Demo session will last for 1 hour. During the session, please stay with your poster as much as possible so that you can interact with other participants visiting your poster. Note that all posters automatically enter the competition for the Best Poster Award, and local judges can visit your poster at time within the 1 hour to conduct their judging work. The winner of the Best Poster Award will be announced in the last session on the last day of the Conference.

Posters that are not removed by the presenter after the last session of the Conference will be kept until Monday 12th September, after which they will be considered unwanted and disposed of.

For Demo Presenters

The Poster/Demo session will last for 1 hour. During the session, please stay with your demo as much as possible so that you can interact with other participants visiting your demo.

You will need to bring a laptop with you for the demo. A desk, a chair and a close power socket will be made available for each demo. We can also provide a computer monitor and an electric extension lead if needed.

If there are more than one demo, a Best Demo Award will be selected. If there are two or more demos for papers accepted to the Conference, a Best Artifact Award will be selected. Winners of the two awards will be announced in the last session on the last day of the Conference.

For Remote Participants

There are two online platforms for supporting remote participation: Zoom and Gathertown.

The Zoom session is used for all formal sessions except the Poster/Demo session. For the dial-in information about the Zoom session, please see the top of the page. When you are in the Zoom session, please keep yourself muted and swich off your camera during the Zoom session to avoid interrupting with the main speaker. Please raise your virtual hand or type in the chat window to ask questions. Local helpers and session chairs will monitor the chat and virtual hands for questions. The local helpers may mute you and switch off your camera without warning if deemed necessary.

The Poster/Demo session will take place in a different online platform called Gathertown. It is chosen to allow parallel sessions of different poster/demo presentations. The Gathertown platform will be open throughout the whole Conference to allow interactions between remote and physical participants and presenters. The Gathertown platform will have different types of information about the Conference, poster and demo "stands", information from sponsors and also the host iCSS. The platform also allows participants to have one-to-one and group video chats. How to visit the Gathertown platform of the Conference is sent to all registered participants via email.

A screenshot of how the Gathertown space looks like is shown below.
