Abstract:

This document is intended to introduce the challenges to overcome
when Network Management (NM) problems may require to couple with
Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. On the one hand, there are
many difficult problems in NM 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
are 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.
