Title: Online learning for real-time communications and networking - A 
brief tutorial

Real-time communications and networking applications such as live 
streaming, videoconferencing, surveillance, medical health monitoring, 
wireless multimedia, etc. operate in dynamic  environments where they 
experience time-varying and a priori unknown channel and network 
conditions, source and traffic characteristics as well as energy or 
system constraints. However, the existing optimization, learning and 
adaptation concepts and techniques for processing, communication and 
networking are not successful to efficiently and robustly operate in 
dynamic and unknown environments. For this, we need new theories, 
algorithms and metrics as compared to classical optimization, stochastic 
control and learning theory.
To address these challenges, in this brief tutorial we present a 
rigorous and unified online learning framework (including both 
formalisms and practical implementations) aimed at optimizing 
delay-critical communication and networking systems operating in 
uncertain and/or dynamically changing environments (i.e. where 
multimedia source characteristics, traffic requirements, channel 
conditions, user’s needs and preferences, as well as competition for 
resources with other users sharing the same network change and/or evolve 
over time). The main focus of this tutorial will be to introduce to the 
researchers and students novel online learning formalisms and solutions 
which can be easily and effectively applied in dynamic and unknown 
communications and networking environments (e.g. time-varying channel 
characteristics or multi-user congestion, time-varying source 
characteristics, changing Quality of Experience requirements, etc.).
