Transformer-Based Prognostics: Enhancing Network Availability by Improved Monitoring of Optical Fiber AmplifiersDominic Schneider, Lutz Rapp, Christoph Ament
We enhance optical network availability and reliability through a lightweight transformer model that predicts optical fiber amplifier lifetime from condition-based monitoring data, enabling real-time, edge-level predictive maintenance and advancing deployable AI for autonomous network operation.

Agentic AI for IPoDWDM Network Lifecycle Automation: An MCP-Enabled ArchitectureChunmin Xia, Jakub Harbaczewski, Nikhil Dsilva et al.
We present a distributed, vendor-agnostic multi-MCP architecture for SDN-based automation and autonomous control of multi-vendor, multi-layer IPoDWDM networks. The framework enables E2E service lifecycle automation, closed-loop cross-layer control using GNPy model and optical telemetry, and is experimentally validated on a IPoDWDM testbed.
