Call for Papers

IEEE JSAC Special issue on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Networking

https://tinyurl.com/AI4NET

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) approaches have emerged in the networking domain with great promise. They can be clustered into AI/ML techniques for network engineering and management, network design for AI/ML applications, and system aspects. AI/ML techniques for network management, operations and automation improve the way we address networking today. They support efficient, rapid, and trustworthy management operations. The current interest in softwarization and network program-

mability fuels the need for improved network automation in agile infra-

structures, including edge and fog environments. Network design and optimi-

zation for AI/ML applications address the complementary topic of supporting AI/ML-based systems through novel networking techniques, including new architectures and performance models. A third topic area is system mplemen-

tation and open-source software development.

This special issue will focus on networking aspects (mostly, network layer and above). Work with primary contribution to physical layer concepts or wireless access should be submitted to other venues. Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality, original manuscripts on the following topics, but not limited to:

Fundamental Frameworks

* Network theory inspired by machine learning

* Transfer learning and reinforcement learning for networking

* Big data analytic frameworks for networking data

Network analytics

* Machine learning, data mining and big data analytics for networking

* Representation learning on operational data

* Data mining, statistical modeling, and machine learning for network management

* User experience-driven network planning

* Learning algorithms and tools for network diagnostics and root cause analysis

Network decision making and optimization

* Protocol design and optimization using machine learning

* Network architecture and optimization for AI/ML applications at scale

* Resource allocation for shared/virtualized networks using machine learning

* Energy-efficient network operations based on AI/ML algorithms

* AI/ML Algorithms for network security

* Network Reliability, robustness and safety based on AI/ML concepts

* Security for networks optimized and operated based on AI/ML concepts

Network automation

* Self-driving networks

* Self-Learning and adaptive networking protocols and algorithms

* Deep learning and reinforcement learning in network control & management

* Predictive or self-aware networking maintenance

* Open-source AI software for networking or networked applications
