2nd Training Day

COST CA20120 - INTERACT Training Day: Recent Advances in Data Engineering for Networking

May 22, 2023

Castelldefels, Spain

Scope

The tutorial will cover an in-depth study of convergence of data engineering in network management and orchestration domain. The first part will be background information on data engineering and second part will be on application of those technologies to network management problems. In the second part, there will be a step-by-step demonstration of one of the demos during the second part of the tutorial. The participants do not need to have any prerequisite components. Application of data engineering concepts in the management and orchestration of telecommunication networks is an emerging topic and will be most important in the coming years as well. The attendees to this tutorial will have the chance to learn more about data engineering for networking and its applications from the perspective of telecommunication operators.

Targeted Audience

The target audience is networking practitioners who are willing to get involved in the data engineering ecosystem. The attendees to this tutorial will have the chance to learn more about data engineering for networking and its applications from the perspective of telecommunication operators. The audience is expected to have basic knowledge of networking as a prerequisite.

General Schedule

The overall schedule is given below:

In the afternoon, from 2 to 5 pm. 

Supporting Texts

There is no currently a comprehensive tutorial on data engineering technologies that is applicable to telecommunication networks especially focusing on network management and orchestration aspects. In this tutorial, we discuss applications of data engineering concepts in telecommunication networks as well as the gaps and research challenges related to future development processes for data engineering-based network design.

Language

The School will be entirely held in English.

Location

CTTC, B6 Auditorium
