Call For Workshop: Innovative Defense Technologies in 5G and Beyond Networks Using Machine Learning

Scope

The 5G and beyond networks have shown the potential to support billions of mobile devices, and are emerging as the central building block of future network. The booming of 5G and beyond mobile networks, however, comes with the risk of being more susceptible to security threats. Such threats also impose security challenges to networking technologies such as software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), Internet of things (IoT) and mobile edge computing (MEC) in 5G and beyond mobile networks. Traditional security techniques might be insufficient as they may fail to meet requirements such as ultra-low latency and deterministic. In addition, they may not be available as cyberattacks evolved with the 5G and beyond would bring unprecedented security risks.
Nowadays, the Machine Learning (ML) technology is used in both industry and academia due to its data driven feature for achieving high performance of a network. ML algorithms can be applied throughout the network to predict potential problems without the need of any external resources. This makes ML a promising technique in detecting attacks in 5G and beyond networks, e.g. ones which are similar to the known attacks but are hard to detect by traditional algorithms. More importantly, ML in 5G and beyond security brings new possibilities in analyzing, modelling and detecting network threats. It also enables the learning of unprecedent attacks in emerging 5G and beyond networks so that they can be detected and addressed without the need for external resources.
This workshop provides a platform for researchers, academics and industry professionals to present their research work on ML in 5G and beyond network security, with the aim to address network threats by novel ML-based technology.
