Tutorial 1: Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Network Security Management

Yasir Naveed Malik, New York Institute of Technology, Vancouver Campus, Canada

With the advancement in computing and communication technologies, the IT infrastructure of today enjoys exponential growth, with more users and devices becoming increasingly connected and supporting mobility. The market leaders estimate around 25 billion more devices will be added to the global network by 2020, which will add new services and traffic to the network. The complexity of network architecture and the growing threat environment makes it challenging for service providers and network administrators to efficiently manage the network resources, whilst maintaining its security. Recently, industry and academic researchers have shown keen interest in studying applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence being applied to network management. Network security management tools provide administrators the global view of numerous endpoints, firewalls and security controls. This helps administrators to analyze network security requirements, maintain, configure, automate and deploy security solutions across the network. The data produced at each node provides Intel to various network transactions. This provides an opportunity to translate this information into intelligence that can be used to mine the security related information. In addition, this information can be used to build an intelligent system with the ability to detect vulnerabilities, run security analysis, automate firewall configurations, learning new symptoms and develop predictive security controls. In this tutorial, we will highlight the potential applications of AI in network security management, discuss current trends and future research prospects along with demonstration of tools and techniques.

Tutorial 3: How to integrate all wireless technologies to stop SMART HOME going stupid

Howy Shu, Huawei

Nowadays, smart phone/watch/mobile devices have changed people’s life. More smart devices are coming into your home, living room, dining room, bed room and even bath room . However, do we feel our life getting “Smarter” ? Or we still suffer in complicated pairing, multi-steps connection and non-friendly settings…Smartphone is equipped with more and more wireless technologies, such as WiFi, BT, GPS, NFC; Cellular like LTE even 5GNR, mm Wave..?? More Antennas, more RF components are squeezed into a small form factor; These Wireless never talk, but interfere to each other (ex:Side lobe, Intermodulation, De-sense, …). From standard perspective, Cellular discussed in 3GPP, Bluetooth in SIG, NFC in NFC forum, WiFi in IEEE. These wireless technologies never communicate under the same language and never share information to each other. However, they are stay in one device, one body… Mobile game as an example, can we take advantage that Cellular and WiFi cooperate to achieve shorter latency performance ? Or by aggregate dual bandwidths to accomplish higher throughput supporting cloud game streaming ? Huawei is committed to re-define a high-quality, easy-to-use, secure and digital life for consumers, also name as “Full-Scene-Solution”. At present, Huawei actively invests and participates in innovation research of fusion wireless technology and its corresponding use cases, including mobile phones, wearable devices, audio accessories, smart home and other Home Electronic. We are devoted to work with all partners to ensure an future easy-smart home.

Tutorial 4: AI/ML in Future Wireless Communications

Bo Sun, ZTE

The AI/ML is a rapidly growing phenomenon penetrating almost every industry area and people’s daily life. The result of the penetration shows profound changes in productivity gain. AI/ML has demonstrated a significant impact on the communication industry in recent years. Preliminary AI/ML research and implementation such as a cross-layer wireless network Root Cause Analysis (RCA) use case showing the extract/apply effective rules increasing up to 80%, time deploying new rules reduced up to 95%, and the number of alarms reduced up to 70%. However, the current AI/ML implementation for wireless networking is only the beginning. Many areas are still in its infancy stage. The AI/ML could benefit network slicing orchestration based on big data in 4/5G virtualization. Using the control plane data with deep leaning/training, the trained model can be used to inferring a new data model for smart SDN controller and smart network O&M which meet the dynamic network changing conditions. The introduction of AI/ML in wireless communication PHY and MAC layers with deep leaning and inferring method show many promises. Further studies including solid theoretical backing and practical implementation architecture will bring in the production level maturity.

Keynote 2: Future switching requirements for long haul and metro networks

David Neilson, Bell Labs Nokia, USA

Optical networks serve as the cornerstone of our connected society, enabling the information superhighway that delivers the Internet all across the globe. As the number of users and data services increase, the network technology and architecture must adapt for it to continue to efficiently and economically support the larger traffic loads. Optical communication systems, have demonstrated equivalent per fiber capacity scaling over the last decades to match traffic load and today’s commercial long-haul systems can carry 50Tb/s on a single fiber. However, we have now reached the limit of the capacity on a single fiber and it is anticipated that to continue to achieve the anticipated 40% pa growth rate in capacity it will require the use of many more parallel fibers. Driven by this change in fiber infrastructure and the larger transported capacity, the network switching elements and their functionality must also evolve.

Keynote 3: Network Hardware and Software Co-Design for Data Centers

Chengchen Hu, Xilinx

Cloud computing, which is very successful both technically and commercially, has been evolving from enterprise data centers to warehouse-scale data centers. Distributed computing applications are the major driver of the cloud evolution. Distributed systems have existed in a loosely-coupled, CPU-centric style for several decades, but their performance improvements are now declining, due to the slowing of Moore’s law, explosive data growth, and unprecedented computational demands. Increasingly, near-storage compute and in-network compute are becoming the way forward, leveraging specialized network hardware and software to provide reliable, predictable, efficient and high-performance infrastructure. The talk will cover recent Xilinx research and development on data center hardware and software co-design from a networking perspective. And it will also discuss further directions that should be investigated next.
