TU1: Optimization solutions for Digital Twins Reinforcement Learning and Computational Intelligence approaches |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Filippo Poltronieri, Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara, Italy |
Abstract:
Digital Twins, virtual replicas of physical systems, hold promise in network and service management research. In this area of research, Digital Twins gained a lot of attention as they represent a useful approach for studying the behavior of complex systems such as large telecommunication networks or large IT systems relying on multiple and interconnected microservices. Specifically, Digital Twins methodologies can effectively enable what-if scenario analysis, thus allowing network and service providers to evaluate the impact of multiple system configurations in a shorter time without altering the physical system. However, to run accurate what-if analysis there is the need to implement complex and computationally expensive simulations, whose optimization requires solving dynamic and expensive optimization problems - that traditional optimization solutions, such as Integer Linear Programming (ILP), are not always well suited for. To enable and foster research in this area, this tutorial aims to provide a comprehensive overview of state of the art optimization methodologies and tools for digital twins. More specifically, this tutorial explores the adoption of computational intelligence (CI) and reinforcement learning (RL) methods, including Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, Multi-swarm Particle Optimization, Grey-wolf Optimization, State–Action–Reward–State–Action, Deep Q-Network, and Proximal Policy Optimization, to optimize Digital Twins for network and service management problems.

TU3: Feature Extraction leveraging Programmable Data Planes for Network Protection based on Reinforcement Learning |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Sergio Armando Gutiérrez, Universidade de Antioquia, Columbia Juan Felipe Botero, Universidade de Antioquia, Columbia Adrian Lara, University of Costa Rica |
Abstract:
Programmable Data Planes have created an expanded landscape for the complete realization of the Software Defined Networking paradigm. Programmability enables further customization of the logic of packet processing within forwarding devices. Thanks to the capabilities of Programmable Forwarding Devices (PFD), it is possible to implement personalized functions that make it possible to introduce additional intelligence for packet processing at the data plane while preserving the benefits of centralized logical view of the network state at the control plane.
As an option to deal with the dynamic conditions exhibited in modern communication infrastructures, specially in the context of network protection, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has arised as an important approach. RL can improve network policies through the interaction with the runtime environment of the infrastructure in order to find the optimal policy for a given use case. When an environment changes, RL can gradually discover new optimal strategies, by performing adjustments based on trial and error and environmental feedback. In this tutorial, we explore how to take advantage of the functionalities of PFDs for one of the crucial operations of RL which is Feature Extraction. Given the visibility that PFDs have of the traffic while considering their computational limitations, it is possible to use these devices, located at the data plane, to extract features which can be passed up as input to complex RL algorithms controlling different operational aspects of the network.

TU4: Greening the Network: Advancing Sustainability of Networks –Challenges, and Solution Approaches |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Alexander Clemm, Sympotech, USA Cedric Westphal, Futurewei Technologies, USA Toerless Eckert, Futurewei Technologies, USA |
Abstract:
Reducing humankind’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change is one of humanity’s Grand Challenges. Communication networks play an important role in addressing that challenge. On one hand, they enable applications that reduce the need for physical travel and that enable solutions that optimize efficiency of resource and energy usage, from teleworking to remote operations, from smarter agriculture to more energy-efficient factory floors. On the other hand, networks themselves (in addition to applications that run over them) have a significant environmental footprint rivaling that that of entire countries. It is thus becoming important to make networks themselves "greener" and devise solutions that allow networks to be operated in ways that make them more sustainable while continuing to meet increasing traffic demands and service requirements.
Many of today’s network sustainability improvements relate to general advances in energy efficiency of computing hardware as well as in transmission technology (antennas, lasers). While this is where the biggest opportunities for networking infrastructure may lie, it is important to extend questions of greenness to other layers in the networking stack - to data and control plane, to routing and traffic forwarding, to the ways in which networks are organized and deployed. For example, can data planes be designed in ways that make them inherently more energy-efficient? What protocol advances could enable greener networking solutions? How can networks be optimized not just for QoS or utilization but for carbon? What novel tools are needed to operate networks more sustainably? How can peak demand be flattened to minimize waste due to overprovisioning? How can we even properly account for energy usage and other sustainability parameters to be optimized? In which ways can network programmability, faster control loops, and AI- or intent-based networking help?
The tutorial aims to provide a broad overview and convey a general understanding of the subject area, including of the factors which contribute to the environmental impact of networking, of technical challenges, pitfalls, and constraints in the development of solutions, and of selected solution approaches. The tutorial will also provide an overview of current standardization activities in that subject area (with an emphasis of activities that are currently taking place in the IETF and the Internet Architecture Board’s associated E-Impact Program). In addition, the tutorial will point out opportunities for further research and further engagement on the topic.

TU5: Reputation Systems in 5G/6G Networks |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Bruno Sousa, University of Coimbra, Portugal |
Abstract:
Reputation System are important approaches to build trust through reputation. These systems have been extensively used in marketplaces, social media platforms and Peer-to-Peer networks, as an approach measuring the entities’ trustworthiness and reliability. Nowadays, reputation systems rely on decentralized networks like blockchains to manage reputation information. With a decentralized model, the information of trust is distributed and can leverage on the benefits of blockchain technology (integrity, immutability, and authenticity). Blockchain as a distributed ledger does not rely on a secure/trusted third-party (centralized authority) to guarantee trust, and rather uses cryptographic mechanisms to prevent tampering of the stored data.
The notion of reputation is highly correlated with the context. In a marketplace the feedback from users is normally expressed in a five-star rate, whereby combining the opinion from different users, the reputation of a service is determined. Other reputation models consider two types of events: 1) positive, contributing positively to the reputation, 2) or negative which impact negatively thereputation.
Authorization processes in 5G/6G can rely on the trust information managed by reputation systems to authorize the network access as per the reputation score (trust information) and policies configured by the 5G/6G network operator. A device not holding a high reputation score is not authorized to access the network, while a device with a medium reputation score can be allowed but with certain limits (i.e., reduced bandwidth).
This tutorial aims to provide insights on how the decentralized reputation systems can build trust, how the trust information can be used in the authorization processes of 5G/6G networks, and how the reputation system can be employed as enablers in the Chain-of-Trust (CoT) paradigm.
The objectives of the tutorial are:
1. Provide insights regarding reputation systems with policies in 5G/6G networks.
2. Present a comprehensive description of reputation models to determine reputation scores.
3. Present a comprehensive description regarding privacy concerns in reputation systems.
4. Hands-on on Hyperledger Fabric permissioned blockchain to store reputation information.

TU6: Content Steering for Adaptive Video Streaming over the Edge-Cloud Continuum: A Hands-on Experience |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Roberto Rodrigues Filho, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil |
Abstract:
Video streaming is among the most used Internet applications nowadays, with many big techs competing for a share in a billion-dollar market size. The demands of these video streaming products require the careful utilization of computing resources strategically placed close to the end users to deliver high-quality experience services. New technologies such as 6G and edge-cloud continuum infrastructures have been investigated to supply these increasing computing resource demands. These technologies are envisioned to be combined to provide fast and reliable data transfer for extremely high volumes of data. The edge-cloud continuum, particularly, also enables service placement mobility from the cloud data centers placed on the core of the network all the way to the edge devices closer to the end-users. However, network management to support seamless service mobility and timely and precise computing resource allocation to maintain high-quality service experiences is extremely complex. As a way forward, in this scenario, the concept known as zero-touch network, where there is no need for human interaction to (re)configure networked systems and the network itself, has gained popularity. In the video streaming application domain, the combination of Content Steering architecture, part of the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) protocol, and container orchestrator technologies would allow strategies for autonomous video streaming services placement throughout the continuum with minimal human involvement and maximum computing resources exploitation. In this context, this tutorial offers a hands-on experience with the state-of-the-art technology that supports content steering for adaptive video streaming on the edge-cloud continuum. We present the latest technology, architectures, and tools that enable the creation and autonomous management of adaptive video streaming applications on the continuum, leveraging the hierarchy of computing resources to provide high-quality experiences to end-users. Our tutorial provides both a theoretical and practical experience for the participants who will have access to a small edge-cloud virtual testbed to explore strategies for steering requests to video content to services placed throughout the computing continuum. We will also lay down current challenges and future opportunities for research in this area.

TU7: Multi-5G/6G Autonomous Networks (ANs) Federation: Challenges, Solutions, and PoC |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Taesang Choi, ETRI, Korea |
Abstract:
Future Networks in 5G/6G will continue to expand in scale, complexity and interconnectivity, and will be highly shaped by distributed systems that serve various use cases that go beyond current use cases like mMTC and URLLC. This will be coupled with an increasing demand for autonomy in self-provisioning and self-management, network interoperability, and service federation on a very dynamic flexible way. Requirements on systems-of-systems architectures will become more relevant as multiple autonomous/semi-autonomous systems/networks (AN) adaptively seek to operate and interact with their peers. Federated Distributed Open Platforms (DOPs) as peers for cross-industry sectors end-to-end (E2E) services innovation and delivery agility can meet such requirements. The DOPs should be formed by way of federations of ICT network facilities and assets that are owned by various sectors (including public sector ICT infrastructures, enterprise/private ICT infrastructures, government owned infrastructures, research institutes, and other stakeholders). The use of federation and associated mechanisms is a promising technology for interconnecting systems, innovation and service delivery by the federating AN systems; and allowing asset sharing and extending traditional eco-systems and value-chains with further resources and stakeholders. In this tutorial, we first examine various challenges for such multi-ANs federation. We then exlain existing and developing solutions ranging from standards, open source tools, and R&D solutions. Finally, we introduce our R&D proof of concept solution, AgileAFP: ML-enabled Agile Private/Public 5G/B5G Service and Network Autonomic Federation Platform with a real-world private and public ITS (Intelligent Transport System) federation use case.

TU8: Integrity attestation of distributed infrastructures (cloud, SDN, NFV) |
|
Room: TBD |
|
|
Instructors: Antonio Lioy, Politecnico di Torino, Italy |
Abstract:
Remote attestation is a hot topic today in cloud computing and networking, as demonstrated by the different standardization groups active in this area (TCG, ETSI-NFV, IETF-RATS). Attestation is the ability to provide undeniable and unforgeable evidence about the hardware and software identity and integrity state of a network component. This evidence can be evaluated by an external verifier to attest the state of the node as good or compromised. In the latter case, appropriate remediation actions can be taken.
The tutorial will introduce the basic concepts of attestation (root-of-trust, measurements), the protocols involved, and the architectural design of an integrity attestation system, as a support for security and operations management. The goal is to let the participants understand the foundations of this important technology, its deployment strategy, and identify the open-source and commercial solutions available for practical application.
