Hi everyone,

We have scheduled a side meeting to present and discuss Data-Aware Inference and Training Network (DA-ITN).

DA-ITN introduces an architecture comprising dedicated control, data, and OAM planes. It employs the idea of data descriptors and topologies to optimize support for AI model training and inference workflows. Additionally, the network could be positioned as an enabling platform for agent-to-agent interactions, communications, and collaborations.

This is an initial general meeting on this topic with the hope to exchange different views, start collaborations, and begin shaping a set of drafts in preparation for the IETF session in Montreal.

The side meeting is currently schedule for 2:30 pm on Wednesday July 23.
Hope to see you there,
Arashmid
