Frontiers of Connected Intelligence Workshop (FroCI)

The goal of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers exploring how connectivity, learning, and decision-making converge across domains. We aim to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue on how communication networks, distributed intelligence, and human–machine collaboration can jointly shape the next generation of intelligent systems.
