Special Session 11

Topic: Multimodal Sensing and Communications

Multimodal sensing and communications are rapidly reshaping next‑generation intelligent systems. By integrating heterogeneous sensing modalities—such as RF, vision, acoustics, and inertial signals—with advanced communication and computing frameworks, researchers are enabling richer environmental perception, more reliable connectivity, and smarter networked intelligence. This special session aims to bring together experts from academia and industry to explore emerging theories, system designs, and applications in this interdisciplinary field.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Joint sensing and communication (ISAC) architectures
• Multimodal signal fusion and cross‑modal learning
• RF–vision cooperative perception
• Edge intelligence for multimodal sensing
• Resource allocation and optimization for sensing‑communication systems
• Applications in smart cities, autonomous systems, healthcare, and human–machine interaction
