Description: Age and Semantics of Information are of fundamental importance to next generation communication systems. Semantics of Information and goal-oriented communication relate to the design of communication systems that optimize communication, given the goals of applications using it. Age of Information (AoI) is a metric that must be optimized for applications that value freshness of communicated information. The next generation of applications, for example, connected autonomous intelligent systems that will be supported by 5/6G, will require communication systems to consider the goals of the application communicating information. The value that communicated information brings to the application becomes key.Ìý
