REASON Open Networks Project

Congratulations to our project lead Dimitra Simeonidou, FREng, FIEEE for this achievement!🎉

Great Work Oscar D. & Hari Sankar Madhukumar 🇫🇷 A large part of REASON etho since the star of the project, was to give early stage researchers the platform to succeed 👏

📢 2 weeks to go! Dimitra Simeonidou, FREng, FIEEE will be speaking at the #Fyuz24 conference, held from November 11th-13th at the Convention Centre in Dublin. Catch her on: 🗓️Tuesday 12th Nov ⏰11:30–12:00 on the Mainstage (The Auditorium) panel 2: Industrializing Open Transport and IPoDWDM. This panel will delve into the operational challenges faced by Multi-Vendor Open Optical initiatives and explore the future of IP over DWDM optical interfaces as a catalyst for wide deployment in open optical networks. 🗓️Wednesday 13th Nov ⏰14:00-15:30 in the Liffey Hall 2 for Confluent Networks: The Next Step Beyond Convergence on the breakout panel Introduction to Confluent Networks. Looking ahead to 6G, the focus is shifting from network convergence to full confluence, integrating radio, optical, and data systems for seamless AI-driven applications. High-capacity sub-terahertz and optical networks will enable high-speed, low-latency, cell-free wireless connectivity. Adding distributed sensing will enhance reliability with greater environmental awareness. Thank you to the Telecom Infra Project for this opportunity! ⭐ #Fyuz24 #TelecomInfraProject #OpenTransport #NetworkingEvent Smart Internet Lab

🚀REASON Open Networks Project Heads to Paris! We’re excited to announce that Hari Sankar Madhukumar and Oscar D. will be representing the REASON Project at the #6GNetConference!🌟 📅 Date: 21-24 October 2024 🎤They’ll be presenting a paper titled "Profiling AI Models: Towards Efficient Computation Offloading in Heterogeneous Edge AI Systems" which is looking at how profiling AI workloads (using ML models) can help to overcome issues that arise when offloading AI workloads to the network's edge. Alongside showcasing an exciting demo about distributed monitoring! #AI #6G #ResearchInnovation #REASONProject #TechConference

Dr Shadi Moazzeni has been invited to give a talk at the IEEE Future Networks World Forum 2024 in Dubai, UAE! 🎙 Towards E2E Optimum Service Delivery in AI-Native Future Networks 📅 Wednesday, 16th October 2024 ⏰ 11:00-11:25 (GST) 📍 Cleopatra, Ruffles Hotel, Dubai, UAE (Online Talk) The emergence of 6G networks promises to revolutionise telecommunications by incorporating end-to-end intelligence for improved performance, driven by new radio and other access technologies. On the other hand, optical technologies are crucial for enabling long-distance integration among various domains and network technologies. This integration is vital for future networks to meet Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like bitrate and latency, and Key Value Indicators (KVIs) such as reliability and privacy. The envisioned end-to-end intelligence can drive optical networks to consistently provide high-quality connectivity and handle dynamic computing and network demands in 6G. This paper explores end-to-end intelligence within 6G networks, emphasising its potential to optimise service delivery. We envision a 6G-ready architecture for delivering end-to-end services across multiple domains interconnected by optical technologies. This architecture uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to support lifecycle management of infrastructures and network services. It includes an Intelligent Optical Cross-Domain Orchestrator and Optical Controllers at the Transport and Metro domains, as well as Intra-Domain and Cross-Domain Service Orchestration, efficiently allocating optimum resources to services ensuring robust and seamless performance in future networks.  #6G #telecommunications #futurenetworks REASON Open Networks Project University of Bristol Engineering

Thank you for sharing this photo with us The National AI Awards! Iman Tavakkolnia we are so glad you had a great evening and thank you for representing everyone working on REASON.

We did it 🏆- at the National AI Awards! I am extremely proud ♥️ that my BT Group R&D colleagues scooped three 🥇🥇🥇award wins at this Thursday’s National AI awards, and were shortlisted in five. BT won : 🥇The ‘AI Innovation Award’ for the ‘Intelligent Drones for Port and Highways Technology’ (InDepth) project - recognising the incredible collaboration between BT, Associated British Ports (ABP), Kier Transportation, Connected Places Catapult, RoboK and Herotech8 in researching and developing cutting edge drone-based solutions to add value to ports, highways and many other industries. 🥇The ‘AI Sustainability Award’ demonstrating BT’s leadership in developing an AI integrated digital twin for environmental sustainability. 🥇And the ‘AI award for High Tech and Telecom’ for Project REASON (Realising Enabling Architectures and Solutions for Open Networks) - a collaboration led by the University of Bristol and partners for their contribution in creating a roadmap for open 6G network architectures. Huge congratulations to Alistair Duke, Ryan Shimmon, Richard Wiseman, Mathias Kern, louise krug, Greg McSorley, Andy Corston-Petrie and Arjun Parekh for their fantastic efforts in leading these projects. And a big thank you to my other BT Group colleagues who were shortlisted in the categories of #AI and #Innovation, #AIBusiness of the Year and the AI award for #Healthcare. Fantastic achievements! I am so proud ♥️ https://lnkd.in/e65hfFgq Howard Watson Nektaria Efthymiou Maria Cuevas Mark Henry Scott Roberts Tanya Spencer Chloe Clark Kevin Holley Ben Azvine Alex Healing Anasol Peña-Rios, PhD SMIEEE Andrew Reeves Deepika Adusumilli Jane Thomas Anna Epps João Rebelo Barbosa #ainationalawards #AI #innovation #research #talent #connectivity #communications #robitics #cybersecurity

Thank you so much to Juan Marcelo Parra Ullauri, PhD and Iman Tavakkolnia for representing all of the REASON Open Networks Project at The National AI Awards last night, we hope you had a great time! We are looking forward to finding a good spot in the Smart Internet Lab for the trophy ⭐ 🤖

Very happy to see this recognition being shared across the University! “AI will revolutionise future networks design, operations and service delivery. The DSIT funded REASON project is pioneering AI solutions for future networks and particularly 6G. Working in partnership across academia and industry we have demonstrated considerable leadership in the field. We are delighted and honoured that this leadership has been recognised with this National AI Award.” - Dimitra Simeonidou, FREng, FIEEE, REASON Project Director
