Monday, June 27


Room: C2 Room at the ground floor in the UPark hotel

09:00 – 09:30Introduction and welcome by the chairs


09:30 – 10:45Tutorial I (1) – DEEP in the NET: Deep Learning for Network Monitoring and Analysis (Slides: DeepNET || DL-CNN || DL-GNN)

Pedro Casas is a Senior Scientist at the Austrian Institute of Technology, where he acts as Research Lead in AI4NETS (AI/ML for Networking). He will present a broad overview on the application of AI/ML to network data analysis problems, including network security, anomaly detection, and Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring. The lecture “DEEP in the NET: Deep Learning for Network Monitoring and Analysis” provides an introduction to the basics of AI/ML, going from more traditional applications to newer paradigms, including deep learning, graph-based learning, generative models, explainable AI, and more. The ultimate goal of the lecture is to motivate – for the newcomers, and to strengthen – for those already in the field, the research in AI4NETS.

14:00 – 16:30Tutorial II – Operationalization of ML models for DNS security (Slides, Code)

Thymen Wabeke and Thijs van den Hout are research engineers with SIDN Labs (.nl registry). They research how machine learning (ML) applications can increase the security of the internet and the Domain Name System (DNS). The lecture will focus on operationalizing a ML model. There are several challenges involved in this process, such as efficiently collecting ground truth labels, analysts needing to understand model inferences, and monitoring model performance so you know when it fails and needs updating. The lecture will include a hands-on training, so that participants can try out some techniques immediately.

09:00 – 10:30Tutorial III (1) – Experimentation and analytics for next generation mobile networks (Slides)

Anna Brunström is a Full Professor and Research Manager for the Distributed Systems and Communications Research Group at Karlstad University. She will familiarize the students with experimentation and measurements methodologies for next generation mobile networks, based on her vast experience on applied research projects such as H2020 MONROE, NEAT and 5GENESIS. The students will also get an opportunity for hands-on examination of a mobile network data set.

14:00 – 15:30Tutorial IV (1) – BGP data analysis with RIPE RIS (Slides)

Emile Aben is a System architect at the RIPE NCC, Netherlands. The lecture will provide an overview of the RIPE RIS Internet data collection system and what it is useful for. The lecturer will demo the interfaces available for the data, and the students will do hands-on experiments that will help with the detection of interesting routing artefacts using this data.
