[nmrg] Minutes and Jabber scribes - RE: NMRG @ IETF 102 - Agenda is online

["Ciavaglia, Laurent (Nokia - FR/Paris-Saclay)" <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

To save precious time at the beginning of our sessions, the chairs would greatly appreciate at least two volunteers to take notes and act as Jabber scribe.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Laurent.

Subject: [nmrg] NMRG @ IETF 102 - Agenda is online

Dear NMRG,

The agenda for NMRG sessions at IETF 102 is online: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/102/materials/agenda-102-nmrg-13 and copied below for your convenience.

We have an ambitious program with two sessions and great topics: Thursday, July 19th, Afternoon sessions I and III in room Duluth.

The first session is a "regular" NMRG meeting, with a full agenda.
I am kindly asking presenters to be concise and preserve time for the discussion. Thanks for your understanding!

The second session is an attempt to make use think (and not sleep. what a challenge at 6pm after a long day of meeting) about what Artificial Intelligence can bring to Networking and vice versa.
This session follows on Marie-José's talk at IETF 101 HotRFC session.
Marie-José will co-chair the session and we count on your active participation to unveil compelling research and standardization directions.

Please note that NMRG will also hold an 1-day interim meeting / workshop on Intent Based Networking, on Friday, July 20th at ETS Montreal (a few blocks from IETF 102 headquarter hotel).
The final agenda will be published on Friday, July 13th. Stay tuned!

See you soon in Montréal.
Best regards, Laurent.

* Session 2
  Thursday, July 19th, Afternoon session III, 18:10 - 19:10 (1 hour)
  Room: Duluth

  IRTF Special Meeting on AI/ML in Networking

  In the last few years and especially in the last few months, the use of Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning in networking went from a nice future application
to an almost must have. Diverse networking operations from trend detection in traffic
monitoring, beam assignment in 5G, congestion control and intent-based networking
have identified AI as a means to improve their overall performance under more and
more dynamic conditions. One may also imagine how AI can impact the very design of
networks and protocols, or else how to solve networking problems in original ways
using novel and network-specific artificial intelligence techniques. Several special
issues and conferences have already been organized under these themes and the
community wanting to use these new tools is rapidly expanding. In addition to these,
network architects and designers are also considering the impact of the use of AI/ML
on the network themselves. For example: AI in vehicles generates very large data sets
that need to be sent to the cloud for analysis or to rely on fog/edge computing.
Traffic engineering also requires analyzing very large amounts of real-time
information that then needs to be sent back to the network nodes for updates and new
features. And the application landscape is rapidly expanding each with its own
requirements on the network.

  The meeting wants to bring together the IETF and IRTF community that has interests
and stakes in the development of both AI/ML based tools and on the networks that will
support them. While we are targeting an open discussion we already have some
presentations planned and you are all welcome to submit a request before Friday, July
13th so we can finalize the agenda.

  Hoping to see you in Montreal!
  Marie-José & Laurent
