Abstract: The rapid emergence of low-altitude intelligent networking, driven by UAVs, aerial mobility, and smart infrastructure, demands the synergistic integration of sensing, communication, computing, and control (ISCCC) to enable safe, efficient, and autonomous operations. Advances in AI, edge computing, 5G/6G, and distributed control systems have propelled ISCCC as a transformative paradigm for applications, such as drone delivery, air traffic management, precision agriculture, and urban surveillance, etc. However, harmonizing these functionalities in dynamic, resource-constrained aerial environments poses significant challenges, including real-time data processing, latency-critical decision-making, spectrum coexistence, and cross-domain security.

This half-day workshop explores cutting-edge innovations and practical solutions for ISCCC in low-altitude intelligent networks. Topics will address the co-design of sensing-communication waveforms, edge-AI-driven resource orchestration, distributed computing architectures, and intelligent control frameworks tailored for UAV swarms and aerial networks. Aiming to bridge academia and industry, the event will foster discussions on overcoming technical bottlenecks, unlocking new business models, and shaping regulatory policies to accelerate the sustainable growth of the low-altitude economy. Researchers and practitioners are invited to share insights on advancing ISCCC technologies toward scalable, resilient, and intelligent aerial ecosystems.
