PRIMEnet
Predictive Analysis of Routing and Network flows for an Intelligent Network Management
| Scientists: | Patrick Sattler, Lion Steger, Dr. Johannes Zirngibl, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Georg Carle |
| Duration: | 15.08.2021 – 31.12.2024 |
| Funding: | BMBF (Federal Ministry for Education and Research) |
Description
The subordinate goal of the project PRIMEnet is the development of intelligent and inovative analytic processes for predictive assessments of the quality of service in complex communication networks. PRIMEnet aims to use automated network management to ensure configuration decisions are made so that first-class performance values are achieved at the core of the Internet. By testing machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, PRIMEnet will design and evaluate methods and tools that enable providers to perform capacity planning in a resilient manner and ensure high quality of service in the long term.
