[Announcements] [CFP] [Deadline Extended][Last Call] 3rd International Workshop on AI in Networks and Distributed Systems

[Martino Trevisan]

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] **

Due to many requests, we decided to *extend* the submission deadline to 
the September 16th. No further extension will be given.

*WAIN 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on AI in Networks and 
Distributed Systems*

*November 8-12, 2021 - Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) and 
online**, to be held with **IFIP WG 7.3 PERFORMANCE 2021*
*Website: https://www.performance2021.deib.polimi.it/wain/ 
<https://www.performance2021.deib.polimi.it/wain/>*
*Submission deadline extended**to **September, 16th (Anywhere on Earth)*


Thanks to rapid growth in network bandwidth and connectivity, networks 
and distributed systems have become critical infrastructures that 
underpin much of today's Internet services. They provide services 
through the cloud, monitor reality with sensor networks of IoT devices, 
and offer huge computational power with data centers or edge and fog 
computing. At the same time, AI and Machine Learning are being widely 
exploited in networking and distributed systems. Examples are algorithms 
and solutions for fault isolation, intrusion detection, event 
correlation, log analysis, capacity planning, resource management, 
scheduling, and design optimization, to name a few.

The scale and complexity of today's networks and distributed systems 
make their design, analysis, optimization, and management a daunting 
task. For this, smart and scalable approaches leveraging machine 
learning solutions must be deployed to take full advantage of these 
networks. WAIN workshop aims at showing to the community new 
contributions in these fields. The workshop looks for innovative 
approaches and use cases for understanding when and how to apply AI. 
WAIN will allow researchers and practitioners to share their experiences 
and ideas and discuss the open issues related to the application of 
machine learning to computer networks.
