To pave the way for the development of 6G and beyond, we provide 6G visions in this paper. We first introduce the state-of-the-art technologies in 5G and indicate the necessity to study 6G. By taking the current and emerging development of wireless communications into consideration, we envision 6G to include three major aspects, namely, mobile ultra-broadband, super Internet-of-Things(IoT), and artificial intelligence(AI). Then, we review key technologies to realize each aspect. In particular, teraherz(THz) communications can be used to support mobile ultra-broadband, symbiotic radio and satellite-assisted communications can be used to achieve super IoT, and machine learning techniques are promising candidates for AI. For each technology, we provide the basic principle, key challenges, and state-of-the-art approaches and solutions.展开更多

Words reflecting early Chinese utopian visions scattered in many ancient classics. Most of them were general depiction of an ideal society featured with equality, sympathy, preference for community autonomy and the social order ＂the whole world as one community＂. Early Western society witnessed many utopian monographs. Most of them offered detailed construction of social frame with emphasis on social function division, request for ideal authority, and property co-ownership as core of an ideal society.展开更多

At the same time, large-scale public engagement activities warrant appropriate methods for analyzing their outcomes. This paper reviews how topic modeling could provide such a methodology, which both accounts for all textual data collected in public engagement activities, however large in scope, yet also allows for meaningful topical analysis. It compares topic modeling results concerning a corpus of 179 citizen visions from 30 European countries on desirable and sustainable futures to those acquired through deliberative analysis. While both methodologies contend that European citizens＇ outlook consists of education, sustainability in the economy, health concerns, and fairness in communities, and the particular strengths of topic modeling relate to its documentability, repeatability, cost efficiency, and scalability. Topic modeling can also be considered to support public engagement analytically from the perspective of knowledge formation rather than that of common sense.展开更多

The Year of France in China is, for the first time, the occasion to present to the Chinese public a vision of the contemporary French architectural production, not only in France but also in China.展开更多

文摘Architecture and the city are two major constituents of human development which, today more than ever, have to be present in the long-term. The Year of France in China is, for the first time, the occasion to present to the Chinese public a vision of the contemporary French architectural production, not only in France but also in China.
