Industrial Networking Beyond Connectivity: Key Scientific and Cybersecurity Challenges Discussed at NOMS 2026
Industrial networking is reaching a turning point. We are moving from isolated PLC-centric systems toward distributed AI-assisted cloud-edge infrastructures running industrial protocols over IP networks. But here is the uncomfortable question: Can probabilistic IT and cloud infrastructures ever truly satisfy deterministic industrial requirements? At our NOMS 2026 panel on *“Next Steps of Industrial Communications and Networks”*, we debated topics such as: * industrial protocols over Lay...
AIMLOps 2026 Workshop at IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2026 a Great Success
🚀 AI is rapidly transforming from a support tool into the operational core of future communication systems — and this was exactly the focus of the 1st AIMLOps Workshop at IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium 2026 in Rome. Co-organized by Marc-Oliver Pahl, Hanan Lutfiyya, and Stuart Clayman, the workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from across Europe, North America, and Asia to discuss the future of autonomous and AI-driven network and service management....
