Summary
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) dynamically and efficiently manage resources to provide diverse services leveraging controller intelligence and programmability. The centralized control in SDN has a global view of the underlying network that enables the network systems to orchestrate and estimate the available resources and dynamically adapt to the environment for maximizing resource utilization. Considering these pros, the SDN is regarded as an exquisite choice for future generation Networks.
The introduction of 5G technology brought unprecedented growth in the ubiquitous traffic generation. The Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and Vehicle to Everything (V2X) creates a huge volume of data, resulting in the scalability of the networks as well as frequent dynamic changes Consequently, the optimal configuration policy for the underlying network changes accordingly. Hence, the manual configuration of the controller is a daunting task owing to these changes. Deep learning (DL) is becoming a successful way to boost SDN controller intelligence as a promising machine learning solution. Machine learning and Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques provide effectiveness for adaptation in network communication. The controller trained with AI and Machine learning sophisticated algorithms can enhance the provision of resource allocation, End-to-End (E2E) Services, and Security.
This Special Issue looks forward to novel technologies using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning techniques, covering new research findings with a broad range of elements leveraging the intelligent SDN technology for Artificial Intelligence Convergence Networks.
