SEMANTIC ITN project - PhD summer school, Invited speaker

"Data science for network monitoring: challenges, practical problems, and potential solutions"
Data science and ML/AI have been a success story in many domains. However, in practical operations in communication networks, applying off-the-shelf methods and algorithms may have several challenges. This talk will provide an overview of challenges in applying data science and ML/AI methods for networking, in general, and further focus on network monitoring/measurements use cases. From practical challenges in the collection, cleaning, and aggregation of data from multiple and heterogeneous sources, to challenges in the applicability of ML/AI algorithms (such as Graph ML methods) or their explainability. Moreover, the aspect of bias in network measurement data and its impact will be analyzed, and the use case of AI4NetMon project will be presented.

I-CAN Workshop and Summer School
Workshop and summer school on Information-Centric Access Networks, AUEB, Athens, Greece. [Link]

Research on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been gaining momentum. ICN and other Future Internet architectures have already given signs that they can form a solid foundation upon which the future internet can be built. Inspired by the fact that the Internet is increasingly used for the dissemination of information, rather than the pairwise communication between end hosts, ICN betters reflect the current communication needs by promoting information-awareness at the network layer and making content a first class citizen. However, ICN goes beyond serving as a new networking paradigm for content distribution, taking advantage of information-awareness as the means for addressing a series of limitations of the current Internet architecture and requirements of emerging and future services and applications, addressing a series of limitations of the current Internet architecture, shape the development of future mobile and wireless access networks, and satisfy the requirements of emerging and future services and applications

Distributed caching in wireless networks
GdR ISIS, Paris. [Link]

Caching, i.e. storing popular content at caches available close to (or at) end users, has received a significant interest both from the industry and the academia as a technique to reduce the peak traffic in wireless networks. Albeit conceptually appealing, the technique calls for a number of challenging inter-disciplinary problems due to limited resource for storage as well as for underlying network links. The scope of this one-day workshop is to present the latest advances in this area and discuss the major challenges related to the design and the analysis of the distributed caching systems both from theoretical and practical points of view.
