In the context of the autonomous management of 5G environments, Altice Labs, through the Technological Coordination and Innovation Direction, together with the University of West Scotland, the Nextworks company and the University of Murcia submitted the scientific article entitled ” Combined NFV and SDN Applications for Mitigation of Cyber-attacks Conducted by Botnets in 5G Mobile Networks “for the international symposium “Advances in Software Defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualization (SOFTNETWORKING 2017) “.
Briefly, the article describes the design of an autonomic management loop in the context of a Self-Protection use case. This work is part of the H2020-SELFNET project, funded by the European Commission, whose purpose is to design and implement autonomic management mechanisms in 5G environments (NFV and SDN-based) through Artificial Intelligence techniques.
Pedro Neves from the Technological Coordination and Innovation Direction, co-author of the article, mentions its importance to Altice Labs that “participated in the design of the autonomous management architecture, ensuring its alignment with the evolution of Assurance and Fullfillment solutions of the company”.
The article was accepted and honored with the “Best Paper Award” of the SOFTNETWORKING 2017 international symposium, integrated in the ICN 2017 conference, whose publication acceptance rate varies between 28% and 42%.
