About the Workshop
About the Workshop
The introduction of virtualization, softwarization, and programmability in 5G has reshaped transport networks into dynamic, software-defined systems that can meet the demands of AI workloads. In this evolving paradigm, the transport layer becomes a key enabler—moving from passive conduit to intelligent, programmable substrate for distributed AI.
As inference and training shift toward the edge, transport systems must ensure not only bandwidth and reliability but also adaptability, low-latency in-network processing, and cross-layer integration—especially across heterogeneous wireless and optical domains.
TRAIN 2025 provides a focused venue to explore how transport architectures must evolve to support AI-native operations. The workshop emphasizes co-design across physical-layer programmability (e.g., P4, eBPF), AI algorithms, and orchestration strategies, supporting applications such as Federated Learning, autonomous systems, and real-time inference
