Abstract: This seminar presents ML/AI enabled intelligent next generation autonomous network system for network performance enhancement and management, particularly suited for networks like 5G, Beyond 5G (B5G), 6G and software-defined network (SDN). The seminar is segmented into four critical parts. Firstly, it focuses on quality of service (QoS) monitoring and provisioning using intelligent QoS agent design in 6G network. Secondly, it elaborates on long short-term memory (LSTM) and serial-parallel (SP) LSTM comparative analysis towards network traffic prediction in 6G networks. Thirdly, seminar delves into role delegation function as a service to improve reliability and latency in SDN. Lastly, touch down investigating further into AI-MLAgents for SDN Network Performance Enhancement for dynamic optimal routing. Overall, the research material holds substantial promise for transforming network management through automation, adaptability, and advanced intelligence. This seminar is based on the dissertation of Dr. Harsh Kumar, who graduated from UNM in May 2024, under the supervision of Prof. Devetsikiotis.

Bio: Prof. Michael Devetsikiotis received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University. He specializes in the design and performance evaluation of telecommunication networks, modeling and simulation of cyber-physical systems, and studying smart grid communications, smart cities, and the Internet of Things. He served for seven years as Department Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNM. He is currently President of the ECE Department Heads Association. He has published over 200 refereed publications on the design, simulation, and performance evaluation of telecommunication networks, socio-technical and cyber-physical systems, smart grid, smart cities, and the Internet of Things. He has received over 10,000 citations and was funded by NSF, NSERC, Cisco, Alcatel, and IBM. He became an IEEE Fellow in 2012 and has served as Chair of ComSoc’s Communication Systems Integration and Modeling Committee, member of Education Services Board, GITC Chair, and as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer
