Abstract:
This document is intended to introduce the challenges to overcome
when network management problems may require to couple with AI
solutions. On the one hand, there are many difficult problems in
Network Management that to this date have no good solutions, or where
any solutions come with significant limitations and constraints.
Artificial Intelligence may help produce novel solutions to those
problems. On the other hand, for several reasons (computational
costs of AI solutions, privacy of data), distribution of AI tasks
became primordial. It is thus also expected that network SHOULD be
operated efficiently to support those tasks.

To identify the right set of challenges, the document defines a
method based on the evolution and nature of NM problems. This will
be done in parallel with advances and the nature of existing
solutions in AI in order to highlight where AI and NM have been
already coupled together or could benefit from a higher integration.
So, the method aims at evaluating the gap between NM problems and AI
solutions. Challenges are derived accordingly, assuming solving
these challenges will help to reduce the gap between NM and AI.
