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 NOMS 2026 in Rome. Co-organized by Marc-Oliver Pahl (IMT Atlantique / Chaire Cyber CNI), Hanan Lutfiyya (University of Waterloo), and Stuart Clayman (University College London), the workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from across Europe, North America, and Asia to discuss the future of autono...
