CNSM Workshops:
---------------

See the following workshop websites for more details:

1) 1st Reinforcement Learning Applied to Networking (RLAN) workshop
    The workshop explores research areas of reinforcement learning in network
    service management and orchestration, network resource allocation, traffic
    engineering and management, network resilience and security.

2) 2nd Workshop on Quality of Datasets in Network Telemetry (QoDaNeT 2025)
    The quality of datasets has a critical impact on the accuracy and
    effectiveness of network telemetry, traffic analysis, and security
    applications. This workshop invites contributions focused on dataset
    creation, curation, evaluation methodologies, and the development of
    metrics for assessing dataset quality in networking contexts.

3) 2nd Workshop on Network Security Operations (NeSecOr 2025)
    Key topics include the fundamentals of security automation, the role of
    orchestration in creating unified security workflows, and best practices
    for implementing these technologies in a network security environment.

4) 1st Distributed Ecosystem for Circularity through Open Digital Enablers and the Digital Product Passport (DECODE)
    Workshop addresses the need for digital foundations that promote
    sustainability, interoperability, and transparency. Core to this is the
    Digital Product Passport (DPP) --- a digital tool enabling traceability and
    data sharing across product lifecycles.

5) 1st Workshop on Beyond centralized network and trust management: Ledgers, Orchestration in the cloud edge Continuum, and Knowledge-driven 6G networks (BLOCK-6G)
    Innovative models, architectures, and technologies for 6G network
    management and orchestration. Some of the keywords: cross-layer designs,
    efficient, secure, and trustworthy 6G network operations; theoretical
    foundations, system architectures, practical implementations, and novel
    applications of 6G network management and orchestration.

6) 5th International Workshop on Analytics for Service and Application Management (AnServApp 2025)
    The main goal of AnServApp is to present research and work-in-progress
    results in the area of data analytics, machine learning and cognitive
    science for service and application management.

7) 1st Transport architectures for intelligent networks (TRAIN 2025)
    Transport networks --> dynamic, software-defined systems that can meet the
    demands of AI workloads. Transport systems requirements: bandwidth,
    reliability, and also adaptability, low-latency in-network processing,
    cross-layer integration across heterogeneous wireless and optical domains.
    Emphasis: co-design across physical-layer programmability (e.g., P4, eBPF),
    AI algorithms, and orchestration strategies, supporting applications such
    as Federated Learning, autonomous systems, and real-time inference.

8) 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC)
    The core topic: Advanced wireless communication and network-centric
    computing.  Relevant challenges: multiple network functions optimization,
    resource allocation, scheduling, link adaptation, taking advantage of
    AI/ML-assisted methods to make networks more adaptive, efficient, and
    autonomous. Additional keywords: In-Network Computing, programmable
    data planes, P4, computation and data processing distributed across the
    network fabric.
