DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, we have been observing fast social and econom
 ic development\, rapidly changing industry\, and continuously growing dema
 nd for bandwidth. This development raises new challenging optimization pro
 blems for the optical communication networks.\n\nThese problems are often 
 very complex not only due to the optical network configurations\, but also
  due to their enormous traffic and operation al complexity. The whole netw
 orking industry is being disrupted and bandwidth availability is worsening
  by the rapid deployment and continuing adoption of 5G and IoT\, the use o
 f which involves tens of billions of end-users (humans-to-machines\, and m
 achine-to-machines)\, interconnecting with each other and driving increase
 d consumer and business interactions.\n\nThere is an upsurge in communicat
 ion networks demand\, driven by millions of end-to-end user devices\, and 
 recently by premium/basic/utility ultra-mobile users who want the ability 
 to access services like the cloud network to consume high-definition conte
 nts\, videos\, and applications when and where they so choose. Today’s n
 etworks were evidently not designed to accommodate or adjust to these unan
 ticipated growing and unpredictable demands.\n\nTo address these challenge
 s\, networks must be adaptive to enable service providers and operators to
  optimize their existing communication network infrastructures while incor
 porating new technologies and ways of working. Several studies and trials 
 around the open software\, platforms\, and systems\, the use of open APIs\
 , AI\, multi-vendor management\, streaming network telemetry for a real-ti
 me data collection\, analytics\, and service automation have been critical
  in helping service providers and operators understand what is needed to e
 volve and optimize networks. There is a need for an effective optimization
  solution method to improve the OAM&amp;P of the optical communication network
 s.\n\nDuring this talk\, the speaker will conduct a live and real-time con
 nection to the Ciena Optophotonics Lab at Algonquin College (Ottawa Canada

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In recent years\, we have been observing f
 ast social and economic development\, rapidly changing industry\, and cont
 inuously&amp;nbsp\; growing demand for bandwidth. This development raises new 
 challenging optimization problems for the optical communication networks.&lt;
 /p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;These problems are often very complex not only due to the optical 
 network configurations\, but also due to their enormous traffic and operat
 ion al complexity. The whole networking industry is being disrupted and ba
 ndwidth availability is worsening by the rapid deployment and continuing a
 doption of 5G and IoT\, the use of which involves tens of billions of end-
 users (humans-to-machines\, and machine-to-machines)\, interconnecting wit
 h each other and driving increased consumer and business interactions.&lt;/p&gt;
 \n&lt;p&gt;There is an upsurge in communication networks demand\, driven by mill
 ions of end-to-end user devices\, and recently by premium/basic/utility ul
 tra-mobile users who want the ability to access services like the cloud ne
 twork to consume high-definition contents\, videos\, and applications when
  and where they so choose. Today&amp;rsquo\;s networks were evidently not desi
 gned to accommodate or adjust to these unanticipated growing and unpredict
 able demands.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;To address these challenges\, networks must be adapt
 ive to enable service providers and operators to optimize their existing c
 ommunication network infrastructures while incorporating new technologies 
 and ways of working. Several studies and trials around the open software\,
  platforms\, and systems\, the use of open APIs\, AI\, multi-vendor manage
 ment\, streaming network telemetry for a real-time data collection\, analy
 tics\, and service automation have been critical in helping service provid
 ers and operators understand what is needed to evolve and optimize network
 s. There is a need for an effective optimization solution method to improv
 e the OAM&amp;amp\;P of the optical communication networks.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;During thi
 s talk\, the speaker will conduct a live and real-time connection to the C
 iena Optophotonics Lab at Algonquin College (Ottawa Canada) to demonstrate
  how these optical communication networks work and how they can be adaptiv
 e and optimized.&lt;/p&gt;
