On the application of artificial intelligence techniques to create network intelligence

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) growth poses interesting challenges to industry, concerning issues such as scalability, network security, energy management, network monitoring, among others. Several Artificial Intelligence tools can be applied to address many of current ICT challenges. This chapter describes the practical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in two main classes of problems: AI for the Internet of Things and Cloud, and usage of AI techniques to manage faults and security issues in traditional Telecommunication networks. Therefore, we will present our research work for the application of AI into different domains, describing for each the current state-of-the-art, and the implemented solution together with the main experimental results. This chapter will demonstrate various benefits achieved from adding an intelligent layer to ICT solutions, in various domains. Finally, we will also address future developments.
