and fixed communications, and computing have opened new frontiers for
tomorrow’s data-centric society. New applications are increasingly depending on
machine-to-machine communications, in turn creating untraditional
workloads and demanding more efficient and reliable infrastructures. Such
immensely diverse traffic workloads and applications will require dynamic and
highly adaptive network environments that are capable of self-optimization for
the task at hand while guaranteeing high reliability and ultra-low
latency. </span></p>
<p style="margin:18pt 0cm;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black">Networking devices, sensors,
agents, meters, smart vehicles/systems generate tremendous amounts of data
while requiring new levels of security, performance, and reliability. Such
complexities demand new tools and methodologies for effective services,
management, and operation. Predictive network analytics will have an important
role in insight generation, process automation required for adapting and
scaling to new demands, resolving issues before they impact operational
performance (e.g. prevent network failures, anticipate capacity
requirements), and overall decision making throughout the network. Data mining
and analytic tools for inferring quality of experience (QoE) signals are needed
to improve user experience and service quality.</span></p>

in artificial intelligence, machine learning, reinforcement learning and
network data analytics introduce new opportunities in various areas, such as
channel modeling and estimation, cognitive communications, interference
alignment, mobility management, resource allocation, network control and
management, network tomography, multi-agent systems, prioritization of network
ultra-broadband deployments. These new analytic platforms will help
revolutionize our networks and user experience. Through gathering, processing,
learning and controlling the vast amounts of information in an intelligent manner
future networks will enable unprecedented automation and optimization.</span></p>
