Special Issue on
Network Intelligence
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Network Intelligence considers the embedding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in future networks to fasten service delivery and operations, leverage Quality
of Experience (QoE) and guarantee service availability, also allowing better agility, resiliency, faster customization and security. This concept inherits the solid background of autonomic networking, cognitive management, and artificial intelligence. It is
envisioned as mandatory to manage, pilot and operate the forthcoming network built upon SDN, NFV and cloud.
The main goal of this special issue is to present state-of-the-art research results and experience reports in the area of network intelligence, addressing topics
such as artificial intelligence techniques and models for network and service management; smart service orchestration and delivery, dynamic Service Function Chaining, Intent and policy based management, centralized vs. distributed control of SDN/NFV based
networks, analytics and big data approaches, knowledge creation and decision making.
The attention is particularly focused on the particular application of machine learning tools to the optimization of next generation networks. Machine and deep
learning techniques become increasingly popular and achieve remarkable success nowadays in many application domains, e.g., speech recognition, bioinformatics and computer vision. Machine learning is capable to exploit the hidden relationship from voluminous
input data to complicated system outputs, especially for some advanced techniques, like the deep learning. Moreover, some other techniques, e.g., reinforcement learning, could further adapt the learning results in the new environments to evolve automatically.
These features perfectly match the complex, dynamic and time-varying nature of today’s networking systems.
This special issue will be devoted to both theoretical and practical evaluations related to the design, analysis and implementation of network intelligent techniques.
Some of the relevant topics include, but are not limited to the following:
· Deep
and Reinforcement learning for networking and communications in networks
· Data
mining and big data analytics in networking
