With the deployment of 5G and the 6G vision being developed, the main challenges for SMARTNESS are how to design and operate cloud computing infrastructures and networks with adequate capabilities to leverage the next generation of Internet services and applications. The scope of end-to-end services at the Internet scale is exceptionally broad and requires contributions across multiple disciplines along with large investments in capital and human resources.
SMARTNESS aims to explore well-planned opportunities through an appropriate methodology based on the confluence of Research Strands (RS) designed to successfully impact world-class research and innovation through Scientific and Technological Advancements (STA) to address challenging use cases in Internet scenarios for industry and society with a vision on the horizon for the year 2030.
A delegation from the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), led by Dr. Walter Fuscaldo, visited SMARTNESS on November 24 and 25 as part of the CNR–CNPq Bilateral Project 2025-2026. The initiative strengthens ongoing research and development collaborations between FEEC/Unicamp and IMM, with a focus on sub-THz antenna technologies.
The SMARTNESS 2030 Engineering Research Center, supported by FAPESP and Ericsson, inaugurated on Wednesday (3) the SMARTNESS Studio 5G (SS5G), a space dedicated to the experimentation, demonstration, and prototyping of advanced connectivity technologies.
SMARTNESS congratulates Prof. Fernando J. Von Zuben and researcher Heictor Costa, members of the Center, for receiving the Best Paper Award at the Brazilian Congress on Computational Intelligence (CBIC 2025). The awarded paper, titled “Hybrid Offline–Online UAV Optimal Path Planning and Outburst Dynamic Autonomous Behavior”, was recognized by the CBIC committee for its scientific relevance and practical impact in the fields of computational intelligence and autonomous robotics.
