First Demonstration of an Automatic Multilayer Intent-Based Secure Service Creation by an Open Source SDN OrchestratorThomas Szyrkowiec, Michele Santuari, Mohit Chamania et al.
In this work we demonstrate an automatic intent-based encryption layer selection and configuration for a multilayer network covering IP and optical utilizing an open source SDN orchestrator. Results indicate that the processing impact of a secure channel creation is negligible.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Methods in Optical Networks: A Comprehensive SurveyJavier Mata, Ignacio de Miguel, Ramó n J. Durá n et al.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an extensive scientific discipline which enables computer systems to solve problems by emulating complex biological processes such as learning, reasoning and self-correction. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the application of AI techniques for improving performance of optical communication systems and networks. The use of AI-based techniques is first studied in applications related to optical transmission, ranging from the characterization and operation of network components to performance monitoring, mitigation of nonlinearities, and quality of transmission estimation. Then, applications related to optical network control and management are also reviewed, including topics like optical network planning and operation in both transport and access networks. Finally, the paper also presents a summary of opportunities and challenges in optical networking where AI is expected to play a key role in the near future.
