场景描述：为期四天的计算机顶级会议 INFOCOM 2019 今日在巴黎召开，本次大会最高荣誉奖项 IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award 获得者为 Victor Bahl，他在无线网络虚拟化、移动计算等领域闻名，这些技术也早已得到广泛应用。
关键词：INFOCOM 移动计算 无线网络虚拟化INFOCOM (International Conference on Computer Communications, IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications) 2019 will be held in Paris today. The conference will last four days (4.29-5.2). This top conference in the field of computer communication networks will bring a huge brainstorm to the industry.
INFOCOM, organized by the IEEE Communications Society, is also a major landmark conference in the field of international communication networks. In the recently updated fifth edition of the CCF computer conference rankings, it still ranks strongly in the leading position of category A.
For INFOCOM 2019, the conference includes major technical plans, some seminars, keynote speeches, group discussions, student poster sessions and presentation/poster sessions. This time, 287 papers were finally included, which were divided into 70 sessions according to their content. Among them, papers published in China accounted for 38.25%.

Because of its large scale, all-encompassing papers, and a strong jury panel, INFOCOM's annual number and level of papers are not uncommon. It is not only a platform for publishing research results, but also a grand gathering for researchers in the field to get to know, understand, discuss, and make friends with each other.
The crown of the conference-INFOCOM Lifetime Achievement Award
As a top-level conference, in addition to the rich content of the conference, the awards also attracted everyone's attention. Take a look at the major awards of this conference.
The biggest award, the IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award (INFOCOM Lifetime Achievement Award), was finally won by Victor Bahl of Microsoft Redmond Research Institute (Microsoft headquarters) in Washington State.

The reason for his award is his outstanding contribution to the development of dynamic spectrum access and wireless local area network technology.
Victor Bahl has made pioneering and lasting contributions to computer networks. His indoor positioning and the use of radio frequency signal properties to achieve goals beyond communication are still standard techniques for most of the work in this field today.
His work in edge computing, dynamic spectrum access, multi-radio systems, channel access scheduling, energy-saving systems, enterprise network management, mobile computing, and ad hoc wireless network topology control have had a profound impact on industry research.
The other two awards, the IEEE Internet Award was won by Professor Jennifer Rexford of Princeton University, and R. Srikant of the University of Illinois, USA, received the IEEE KOJI KOBAYASHI Computers and Communications Award.
Won the highest honor with strength
Victor Bahl won the highest honor of the conference mainly for his contributions to dynamic spectrum access and wireless LAN technology. At the same time, he is also known for his achievements in mobile computing.
These technologies have a far-reaching impact on the Internet, and their applications have also involved all aspects of our lives.
Take mobile computing as an example. As the name suggests, mobile computing is computing on the move. It is a new technology that has emerged with the development of technologies such as mobile communications, the Internet, databases, and distributed computing.
Mobile computing actually allows people to access data and information anytime, anywhere, and realize the use of any mobile terminal such as mobile phones, pads, laptops, etc., using network technology to realize data transmission and resource sharing.
Because of the development of mobile computing technology, today we can access the Internet to obtain information whether at home or in the office, or on the road.
The application of mobile computing has been very extensive. In addition to the mobile Internet that we are so familiar with, there are also applications in many fields such as mobile e-commerce, logistics, and medical care.
Specifically, mobile e-commerce is the mobile payment and mobile retail that we use almost every day. The application of mobile computing in the logistics field is typically the ubiquitous express delivery.
The interface of a logistics data management system. The data involves
drivers, logistics companies, cargo owners, etc.
Due to the characteristics of this industry: a wide variety of products, non-centralized production areas, scattered delivery locations, and various manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, customers, etc., these complex information must be integrated and connected in real time to improve efficiency , Reduce the error rate. With the help of mobile computing technology, the logistics industry can develop to such an efficient operation situation as it is today.
New era: from mobile computing to mobile artificial intelligence
In the era of artificial intelligence, mobile computing has entered a new era. The boundaries of mobile computing innovation are being redefined, and various innovative applications based on mobile computing have been continuously extended and expanded infinitely. Giant companies in the communications industry are vying to launch AI mobile computing platforms.
Kirin 970 AI computing platform with built-in independent NPU
In September 2017, the world's first artificial intelligence mobile computing platform, the Kirin 970 chip, was released, making the deep learning work that needs to be uploaded to the cloud to be completed directly in the mobile terminal, greatly improving service efficiency.
Qualcomm launched the world's first extended reality (XR) dedicated platform Snapdragon XR1 platform in May 2018. Provide better interactivity, power consumption and thermal performance through artificial intelligence functions.
Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun once said that he believes that Moore's Law has failed, and the future development trend of mobile computing will be artificial intelligence from the cloud into the device. Therefore, the next stage of mobile computing may be Mobile AI.
And every time we come into contact with these technologies and their applications in the future, don't forget that there is a great hero Victor Bahl behind them.
Super nerve reminder
In order to help everyone grasp the various conference schedules in the computer industry, the Super Neural Team has established a 2019 computer conference calendar, including major top conferences, and some first-class conferences with good reputation (new conference calendar).
The calendar includes the meeting time, venue and other information of multiple conferences in the global computer industry for easy reference.
