Ok, so you are a networking Linux person and you are trying to wade your way around all this ML and AI hype. ChatGTP is just not helping make you feel better. Sigh. All the relatives and friends are telling you how this is the future and worse you feel left out..... Well, fear no more. Our chairs Marta Plantykow and Roopa Prabhu have a plan to get you on good footing. The current agenda includes the following topics (more could be added later): 1) A tutorial by Marta Plantykow "Bridging networking and AI: Empowering Networking Engineers with Artificial Intelligence": The tutorial will be an overview of the fundamental concepts of AI/ML and their relevance to networking. Through relatable examples and approachable explanations, attendees will better understand how AI can enhance networking. While the discourse maintains a high-level perspective, it aims to demystify the notion that AI is overly complex and inaccessible. 2) Roopa Prabhu will discuss LLM's and generative AI in Network operations and Cyber-security 3) Milena Olech , Marta Plantykow and Maciek Machnikowski will talk about "Genetic Algorithm based PI controller tuning with stability analysis for Linux ptp4l optimization" which continues their work for tuning the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller configurable in the phc2sys application using Genetic Algorithm presented on Netdev 0x15[1].
