“…Here, an AI-enabled DT optimises the operational parameters of the network based on the real-time data and the knowledge generated through prior experience. Resilience is the ability of the network to maintain an acceptable level of service in the event of various faults and challenges to normal operation [11]. Resilience cannot be achieved if the network is not prepared for potential disruptions.…”

Digital Twin (DT) is a promising technology for the new immersive digital life with a variety of applications in areas such as Industry 4.0, aviation, and healthcare. Proliferation of this technology requires higher data rates, reliability, resilience, and lower latency beyond what is currently offered by 5G. Thus, DT can become a major driver for 6G research and development. Alternatively, 6G network development can benefit from Digital Twin technology and its powerful features such as modularity and remote intelligence. Using DT, a 6G network (or some of its components) will have the opportunity to use Artificial Intelligence more proactively in order to enhance its resilience. DT's application in telecommunications is still in its infancy. In this article we highlight some of the most promising research and development directions for this technology.

Data centers have operational challenges due to high cooling costs and the necessity of ensuring physical security to keep data safe. The activities of malicious organizations in countries without sophisticated missile defence systems also necessitate enhancing data center security. The expending of significant power for cooling degrades data center power usage effectiveness (PUE). The use of high altitude platform data centers (HAP-DCs) is proposed to address these challenges. The HAP-DC incorporates a location mechanism which ensures that HAP-DCs have a dynamic location making them difficult targets for aerial missiles. The paper also proposes a stratospheric scheduling mechanism to enhance the HAP-DC's PUE. The scheduling mechanism ensures that HAP-DCs sited where the stratosphere has best cooling ability are used for workload execution. Analysis shows that the location mechanism enhances safety against missile threats by at least 6.7% and up to 35.4% on average. The scheduling mechanism enhances the PUE by at least 43.8% and up to 81.1% on average.

“…Similarly, the authors in [21] propose the usage of drones in a secure way as ondemand nodes for inter-service operability between multiple vendors by using the concept of blockchain. A blockchainbased network flying platforms (NFP) are investigated in [22], where the authors study how to use blockchain to increase the resilience of NFP.…”

The staggering growth of the number of vehicles worldwide has become a critical challenge resulting in tragic incidents, environment pollution, congestion, etc. Therefore, one of the promising approaches is to design a smart vehicular system as it is beneficial to drive safely. Present vehicular system lacks data reliability, security, and easy deployment. Motivated by these issues, this paper addresses a drone-enabled intelligent vehicular system, which is secure, easy to deploy and reliable in quality. Nevertheless, an increase in the number of operating drones in the communication networks makes them more vulnerable towards the cyber-attacks, which can completely sabotage the communication infrastructure. To tackle these problems, we propose a blockchain-based registration and authentication system for the entities such as drones, smart vehicles (SVs) and roadside units (RSUs). This paper is mainly focused on the blockchainbased secure system design and the optimal placement of drones to improve the spectral efficiency of the overall network. In particular, we investigate the association of RSUs with the drones by considering multiple communication-related factors such as available bandwidth, maximum number of links a drone can support, and backhaul limitations. We show that the proposed model can easily be overlaid on the current vehicular network reaping benefits of secure and reliable communications.
