Title: Meta-Networking: Overcoming the Shannon Limit with Multi-faceted Information

Abstract:

This talk introduces Meta-networking: a revolutionary networking architecture that provides a beyond-Shannon paradigm with multi-faceted information based on the collaboration among distributed network entities, efficient service classification, and data feature extraction. An overview of Meta-Networking is provided and the key principles and components of Meta-Networking, including the quality-of-experience characterization, AI-empowered semantic encoding, and information density improvement, are analyzed. It enables a groundbreaking communication system where a much larger amount of information is transmitted without increasing the size of binary digits. Furthermore, an application scenario for image transmission in the Internet of Vehicles is discussed, which shows significant performance improvement compared with conventional communications. It is believed that Meta-Networking has the potential for revolutionizing communication systems with higher efficiency, stronger reliability, and intelligence awareness.

Title: Detecting Anomalies from Big Data System Logs

Abstract:

Parallel and distributed systems play a prominent role due to the large amount of collected data. Although they are effective in many aspects, it is not easy to conduct maintenance and management, thus may cause some severe system problems. To enhance these applications, a range of troubleshooting methods are proposed. Among these methods, log analysis is very popular due to its effective resolution and rich information in events or states of the system, which improves system health diagnosis with root cause analysis. Generally, log-based anomaly detection methods are developed by mining a large set of system log data. The data mining process is usually realized with different models, such as statistical models and non-deep machine learning models. However, these traditional models still confront with low detection accuracy due to focusing on ad-hoc features. Nowadays, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely employed to solve log anomaly detection and outperform a range of conventional methods. They have attained such striking success because they can usually explore and extract semantic information from a large volume of log data, which helps to infer complex log anomaly patterns more accurately. Hence, more anomaly detection models are equipped with DNN and break through the bottleneck in the performance.

Title: Some Economic Issues and Our Solutions for Edge Computing

Abstract:

In recent years, new Internet technologies such as NDN and IoT have emerged, and the existing economic structure of the Internet no longer fits the new Internet architecture. To solve this problem, this study examined several typical Internet usage scenarios and designed new economic operation models for these scenarios using game theory and auction theory. We believe that these new economic theories and methods will greatly contribute to the future prosperity and development of the Internet industry.
