Dallas IEEE CVT April 18 meeting "Toward Networking for Intelligent Realities"
The April 18, 2023 Dallas IEEE CVT event has a guest speaker, Dr. Kurt Tutschku from Univ BTH in Sweden.
The merger of immersive computer graphics and visualization with AI has gained recently rapid momentum. The so-called “metaverse” has become an appealing concept. It offers an almost infinite combination of persistent, online, fictional, or extended reality virtual spaces where users can work, meet, game, and socialize. While the metaverse is eventually a massive ambition, so-called “Intelligent Realities (IR)”, i.e., immersive virtual spaces which are supported by AI or ML for decision making, are expected to become a tool for many users in next wave of digitalization.

Non-members or others $15,
Non-pre registered who which to have lunch will be asked to wait until those who have pre-registered have been served
Parking passes will be emailed to the registered attendees prior to the meeting. Please only park in the correct color code as provided in the parking pass.
IRs are expected to exploit the idea of a compute-networking continuum. Here, the function for communication and for computing is interrelated and depends on each other. In this talk we discuss the needs and early concept for the design of novel and adaptive network services for intelligent realities. The services need to fulfill strict needs of IRs for ultra-low e2e delay and very high bandwidth communication. The design aims at mechanisms and services that provide the the right data, at the right location, and at the right time in an adaptive and well orchestrated way. Intelligent realities are considered as the nextgeneration of IoT applications. However, in contrast to many of today’s IoT applications, intelligent realities need to process huge amounts of data, preferably at locations that are continuously adapted run-time. The adaptivity allows the application of efficient hardware (e.g. accelerators at data centers) or data and algorithms that are only available at special locations (e.g. due to GDPR).

Toward Networking for Intelligent Realities
Professor Kurt Tutschku, Blekinge Tekniska Högskolan, Karlskrona, Sweden and Co-author of the recentely published book "Virtualizing 5G and Beyond 5G Mobile Networks"
Biography:
Kurt is a professor for telecommunication systems at the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH). He is leading the team on SDS (Secure and Distributed Systems) at BTH’s Department of Computer Science (DIDA).
Prior to BTH, Kurt was holding from 2008 to 2013 the Chair of Future Communication at the University of Vienna (endowed by A1 Telekom Austria). From February 2008 to August 2008, he worked at the Network Virtualization Lab of the National Institute for Information and Communication Technology (NICT) in Tokyo, Japan. Between 1999 to 2008, Kurt was an assistant professor at the Department of Distributed Systems of the University of Würzburg, Germany where he was heading the departments group on “New Network Architectures, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Systems and Self-Organization”. Kurt has received this Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1999 and this Habilitation degree in 2008; both were awarded by the University of Würzburg, Germany.
Kurt’s research interests are gathered around the topics of the architectures and the operation of future distributed systems, softwarized networks, and Cloud systems (incl. NFV and SDN-based networks). Kurt has specialized within these areas on orchestration, control, and service management mechanisms (incl. service marketplaces, Blockchain algorithms) and their performance. Lately, Kurt has turned to the issues of security, confidentiality, digital sovereignty, and data privacy in service chains and in edge- and Cloud-based systems. Kurt is leading multiple funded academic and industry collaborations in this area.
Kurt and his team contributed to various Future Internet and network virtualization testbed projects, incl. GENI (US), Akari (Japan), or G-Lab (Germany). Kurt has also collaborated with the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der informationstechnik), was a member of the steering committee of the European Future Internet Assembly and has actively contributing to the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) on Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). He is currently for BTH member of ETSI’s ISG on the Security of AI (SAI).
Kurt served from 2017 to 2022 as the General Chair of the IEEE Conference on NFV-SDN. He has advised more than 50 MSc thesis and is currently supervising three Phd students.
