SemINF – Série de Seminários

SemINF recebe pesquisadora internacional para palestra sobre Inteligência Artificial e Programabilidade de Redes

Na próxima quarta-feira, 30 de abril de 2025, o Instituto de Informática da UFRGS realizrá mais uma edição da série de seminários SemINF, com uma palestra internacional. Com o título “The Role of Network Programmability and AI in Distributed and Networking Systems”, a palestra será ministrada em inglês pela professora Dr. Israat Haque, da Dalhousie University, no Canadá.

O evento acontece às 12h45, no Auditório 0 do instituto, com duração de 45 minutos. Haverá também transmissão ao vivo pelo canal do youtube dos seminários.

Resumo

Network programmability enables agile configuration, real-time monitoring, and efficient management of network elements, enhancing performance, reliability, and security. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers automated, data-driven orchestration of networks and systems, unlocking new levels of intelligence and adaptability. Together, these two complementary domains are transforming the landscape of distributed systems, particularly in the realms of the Internet of Things (IoT) and telecommunications. This talk will begin by exploring how network programmability can enhance the security and performance of distributed and networking systems. It will then highlight use cases where AI elevates these systems through intelligent automation and decision-making. Finally, the presentation will address key development challenges and emerging opportunities in building AI-driven and big data-enabled systems.
