Tentative Agenda for the INDIS 2023 Workshop (All times are in MST)
- (9:00 am) INDIS Start and Welcome - INDIS Committee and SCinet Chair Hans Addleman
- (9:10 am) INDIS Esteemed Guest Talk: Professor Eylem Ekici (Ohio State University)
- Title: AI-EDGE: NG Networks meet Distributed Intelligence
- Abstract: Networking and AI are two of the most transformative information technologies. These technologies have helped improve the quality of the human condition, contributed to national economic competitiveness, national security, and national defense. The AI-EDGE Institute is aimed at leveraging the synergies between both networking and AI to design the next generation of edge network. A new distributed intelligence plane will be developed to ensure that these networks are self-healing, adaptive, and self-optimized. The future of AI is distributed AI and these intelligent and adaptive networks will in turn unleash the power of collaboration to solve long-standing distributed AI challenges, making AI more efficient, interactive, and privacy preserving. The Institute plans to develop the key underlying technologies for distributed and networked intelligence to enable a host of future transformative applications such as intelligent transportation, remote healthcare, distributed robotics, and scientific computing. Going beyond research, the Institute recognizes that it is a national priority to educate students, professionals, and practitioners in AI and networks, and substantially grow and diversify the workforce. The Institute will develop novel, efficient, and modular ways of creating and delivering education content and curricula at scale, and to spearhead a program that helps build a large diverse workforce in AI and networks spanning primary and secondary education to university students and faculty. In this talk, an overview of the key components of the Institute will be presented, identifying a set of interesting research directions. Further, major differences between core and edge networks will be highlighted, emphasizing the use of ML tools and techniques as well as their development and assessment in testbeds.
- Bio: Eylem Ekici is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineer at The Ohio State University. He received his PhD in ECE from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2002. His research focuses on wireless communication networks, network optimization, and algorithms, with an emphasis on vehicular and next generation wireless systems. He is an IEEE Fellow and the recipient of 2016 Harrison Faculty Award for Excellence in Engineering Education.
