[2nd CoNEXT GNNet Workshop] Graph Neural Networking Workshop, co-located with CoNEXT 2023, Paris, France, December 5-8, 2023 -- Paper Submission Deadline: September 8
by Casas Pedro 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

2nd GNNet Workshop Graph Neural Networking Workshop Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2023 @Paris, FRANCE December 5-8, 2023 https://bnn.upc.edu/workshops/gnnet2023/ We are glad to announce the second edition of the “Graph Neural Networking Workshop 2023”, which is organized as part of ACM CoNEXT 2023, to be held in Paris, France. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and be made available in the ACM Digital Library. IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper submission deadline: September 8, 2023 (AoE) Paper acceptance notifications: October 18, 2023 Camera ready due: October 25, 2023 Submissions’ site --> https://conext-gnnet2023.hotcrp.com/ SPECIAL SESSION ============== GNNet would include a dedicated special session where the top teams competing at the fourth edition of the Graph Neural Networking Challenge (https://bnn.upc.edu/challenge/gnnet2023/) would be invited to present the winning solutions of the challenge, providing an excellent complement to the main program. MOTIVATION =========== While AI/ML is today mainstream in domains such as computer vision and speech recognition, traditional AI/ML approaches have produced below-par results in many networking applications. Proposed AI/ML solutions in networking do not properly generalize, can be unreliable and ineffective in real-network deployments, and are in general unable to properly deal with the strong dynamics and changes (i.e., concept drift) occurring in networking applications. Graphs are emerging as an abstraction to represent complex data. Computer Networks are fundamentally graphs, and many of their relevant characteristics – such as topology and routing – are represented as graph-structured data. Machine learning, especially deep representation learning, on graphs is an emerging field with a wide array of applications. Within this field, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been recently proposed to model and learn over graph-structured data. Due to their unique ability to generalize over graph data, GNNs are a central tool to apply AI/ML techniques to networking applications. GOALS ====== The goal of GNNet is to leverage graph data representations and modern GNN technology to advance the application of AI/ML in networking. GNNet provides the first dedicated venue to present and discuss the latest advancements on GNNs and general AI/ML on graphs applied to networking problems. GNNet will bring together leaders from academia and industry to showcase recent methodological advances of GNNs and their application to networking problems, covering a wide range of applications and practical challenges for large-scale training and deployment. The GNNet workshop seeks for contributions in the field of GNNs and graph-based learning applied to data communication networking problems, including the analysis of on-line and off-line massive datasets, network traffic traces, topological data, cybersecurity, performance measurements, and more. GNNet also encourages novel and out-of-the-box approaches and use cases related to the application of GNNs in networking. The workshop will allow researchers and practitioners to discuss the open issues related to the application of GNNs and graph-based learning to networking problems and to share new ideas and techniques for big data analysis and AI/ML in data communication networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================= We encourage both mature and positioning submissions describing systems, platforms, algorithms and applications addressing all facets of the application of GNNs and Machine learning on graphs to the analysis of data communication networks. We are particularly interesting in disruptive and novel ideas that permit to unleash the power of GNNs in the networking domain. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: • GNNs and graph-based learning in networking applications • Representation Learning on networking-related graphs • Application of GNNs to network and service management • Application of GNNs to network security and anomaly detection • Application of GNNs to detection of malware, botnets, intrusions, phishing, and abuse detection • Adversarial learning for GNN-driven networking applications • GNNs for data generation and digital twining in networking • Temporal and dynamic GNNs in networking • Graph-based analytics for visualization of complex networking applications • Libraries, benchmarks, and datasets for GNN-based networking applications • Scalability of GNNs for networking applications • Explainability, fairness, accountability, transparency, and privacy issues in GNN-based networking • Challenges, pitfalls, and negative results in applying GNNs to networking applications SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ======================= Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Papers must include authors names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and be made available in the ACM Digital Library. WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================ • Pere Barlet-Ros, BNN-UPC, Spain • Pedro Casas, AIT, Austria • Franco Scarselli, University of Siena, Italy • José Suárez-Varela, Telefónica Research, Spain • Albert Cabellos, BNN-UPC, Spain Best, Pedro 😊 PEDRO CASAS Senior Scientist Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Giefinggasse 4 | 1210 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at/> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer>

Howdy all, As part of the upcoming Routing Security Summit (17-20 July), we have two measurement related sessions that may be of interest: The Routing Security Research Roundup Thursday, 20 July 11:30-12:30 UTC The research and academic community have been essential in developing and testing routing security products, including Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). In this session, three former MANRS Research Ambassadors and Fellows will share updates on their past projects and how it has inspired new trains of thought. Featuring: Romain Fontugne (IIJ), Khwaja Zubair Sediqi (Max Planck Institute for Informatics), Thomas Holterbach(University of Strasbourg) and Amreesh Phokeer (Internet Society) The ROV Research Review Thursday, 20 July 13:00-14:30 UTC Research into the success and challenges of Route Origin Validation (ROV) has traditionally been theoretical. However, as more networks validate routes, real-world data and insights are helping researchers to validate old theories and propose new ones. In this session, we will review recent papers coming out of the research community focused on ROV and how these are helping to strengthen the security and resilience of the global routing system. Featuring: Haya Shulman (Goethe University Frankfurt), Cecilia Testart (Georgia Institute of Technology), Tijay Chung (Virgina Tech) and Amreesh Phokeer (Internet Society) Register to attend these and other sessions and tutorials at https://isoc.pub/Routing_Security_Summit_2023
