Transformation Through Innovation: A Strategy For Service Provider SuccessCisco Service Provider
Service providers can capitalize on $1.7 trillion in incremental value over the next 10 years through the Internet of Everything (IoE). The opportunity for service providers is to create value for consumers and enterprises. However, operational complexity can stifle the service provider’s ability to reduce costs and become more agile when bringing new capabilities to market. Today most new applications take months to roll out. Upgrades and migrations often take just as long. Service providers seek technology partners that can transform their businesses, helping them to move faster, with more security, greater flexibility, and less risk.
Cisco offers a comprehensive strategy that creates an environment for services providers to advance innovation while enhancing profitability. Cisco helps to make service provider transformation possible in three ways:
● Transform the experience: We deliver capabilities that help service providers develop new experiences for consumers and businesses, as people, things, processes, and data are connected in the IoE. For example:
◦ Fraud protection applications connected to locations through mobile phones
◦ Sensors connecting a basketball with a IP television services
◦ Healthcare applications tracking vital signs from wearables
◦ Public safety services that synchronize ambulances with traffic lights
● Transform the business: We engage with service providers to create new business models and new revenue streams, estimated to be $1.7 trillion over the next decade. Cisco delivers solutions that provide the agility to bring services to market faster.
● Transform the architecture: With the Cisco® Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) and Evolved Services Platform (ESP), we use both physical and virtual technology that offers open, flexible programmability. The network becomes the services platform using the latest automation, orchestration, and virtualization capabilities. Cisco allows many solutions to work together as one open architecture to create a platform of possibilities.

How to Achieve Cost Optimization through Managed Cloud Services?MilesWeb
Cloud management services have emerged as a critical asset for companies seeking to boost productivity and stimulate growth in the swiftly evolving corporate landscape of today. By establishing a collaboration with a provider specializing in managed cloud services, companies can delegate the intricate aspects of cloud management, allowing them to concentrate on their fundamental strengths.
Enterprises are investing in Cloud First Strategies instead of Cloud Smart. Cloud First means, they want to run everything on cloud. The enterprise has no idea how much does it cost in the long run, and whether it meets with the compliance requirements? Being Cloud Smart means running several critical applications on the premises and other applications on the cloud. Managed cloud services grant enterprises access to IT solutions provided by external parties for supervising their cloud-based services along with technical assistance. These offerings come with a flexible, robust, and cost-effective infrastructure that caters to the distinct requirements of each enterprise.
By employing managed cloud services, companies can enhance operational productivity. This enhancement is possible due to the proficiencies of the service provider, which enables companies to make the most of their IT assets, decrease the pressure on in-house IT departments, and concentrate on key strategic ventures.
Managed cloud hosting also helps you to achieve your BCDR Strategy goals. BCDR stands for Business Continuity Disaster Recovery. A smartly implemented BCDR will help you to reduce RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) that ultimately helps in saving cost.
Another major advantage of managed cloud services is scalability. Enterprises have the flexibility to ramp up or scale down their resources as per the need, allowing them to swiftly adapt to fluctuating market scenarios and efficiently manage high-demand periods.
The cost-effectiveness of cheap cloud hosting services is one of its integral attributes, as it enables enterprises to bypass the need for substantial upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure. Instead, companies can opt to pay for the services they employ based on a subscription model, effectively transforming capital expenditures into operational ones.
Security and regulatory compliance are high-priority areas for providers of managed cloud services. They deploy comprehensive security protocols, firewalls, and encryption methods to safeguard confidential data. Additionally, they guarantee business continuity via redundant systems and strategies for disaster recovery.

Application Engineered Routing Segment Routing and the Cisco WAN Automation ...Cisco Service Provider
The Cisco® Application Engineered Routing solution provides end-to-end control over how the network infrastructure transports applications. In the past, dedicated clusters of servers would deliver specific applications, but the number and diversity of applications continue to increase as the infrastructure becomes more converged.
Traffic patterns are dynamically changing and new applications come with specific transport requirements. Combining Segment Routing (SR) with the Cisco WAN Automation Engine (WAE) provides the necessary intelligence to optimize network resources and make informed decisions dynamically, helping to ensure a consistent, high-quality customer experience.
This white paper describes SR and the Cisco WAE and highlights how they work together to deliver an intelligent, dynamic, highly optimized network.
Research Highlight: Independent Validation of Cisco Service Provider Virtuali...Cisco Service Provider
Service providers want to know how they can build and run programmable, intelligent, responsive, efficient, flexible, and highly secure yet open networks with a high degree of automation. They want to be able to configure and activate new services quickly, utilize emerging cloud capabilities, and meet customer needs. Nimble, smart innovators in the global communications and networking industry are working on the answers and coming up with solutions every day. But providers need to know if these next-generation technologies can already meet their requirements today
In the world of service providers and networks, the demand for new and better services continue to grow, while the networks must expand and quickly adapt to these demands. One way that operators are evolving their network is to adopt some of the latest technologies like NFV (network functions virtualization). Infonetics recently found that 35 percent of the worldwide telecom carriers they surveyed are planning to deploy NFV in 2015. They are doing this because they believe that NFV and its SDN (software-defined networking) architecture will deliver benefits in service agility and new revenue, operational efficiencies and capex savings. Finding new ways to build revenue paths out of the network is critical for operators today as they innovate to find new sources of revenues.
Operators have been looking to Policy to help them find new ways to find value in their network. Specifically, they need a policy platform which can help them quickly adapt to build new services and even new networks for other operators or enterprises. We are now announcing the availability of Cisco Policy Suite version 7.5 for download. With it, operators will benefit from NFV-based policy enforcement and new access selection technologies. These new capabilities are enabling service providers to not only use policy software to open new services and markets, but they are also providing policy to the handset to ensure the best access method for the end user.
Segment routing is a network technology focused on addressing the pain points of existing IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks in terms of simplicity, scale, and ease of operation. It’s a foundation for application engineered routing because it prepares the networks for new business models where applications can direct network behavior.
Segment routing seeks the right balance between distributed intelligence and centralized optimization and programming. It was built for the software-defined networking (SDN) era.
Segment routing enables enhanced packet forwarding behavior. It enables a network to transport unicast packets through a specific forwarding path, other than the normal shortest path that a packet usually takes. This capability benefits many use cases, and you can build those specific paths based on application requirements.
Segment routing uses the source routing paradigm. A node, usually a router but it can also be a switch, a trusted server, or a virtual forwarder running on a hypervisor, steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. A segment can have a local semantic to a segment-routing node or global within a segment-routing network. Segment routing allows you to enforce a flow through any topological path and service chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to the segment-routing network. To be aligned with modern IP networks, segment routing supports equal-cost multipath (ECMP) by design, and the forwarding within a segment-routing network uses all possible paths, when desired.

Cisco cBR-8 Evolved CCAP: Deliver Scalable Network and Service Growth at a Lo...Cisco Service Provider
An explosion of new over-the-top (OTT) video services and consumer devices is placing huge demand on cable access networks. To compete for new customers and retain the loyalty of existing ones, multiple system operators (MSOs) will need to expand capacity substantially, rolling out new services and gigabit tiers.
As they strive to meet insatiable market demand and stay competitive, MSOs are looking at significant access network capital expenditures (CapEx) increases over the next 5 years - and steadily rising operating expenses (OpEx) due to higher power costs and a larger network footprint. But current integrated Cisco® Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) solutions are limited to supporting only 24 to 32 channels per service group, and they are not designed to support DOCSIS® 3.1 at scale. Using these platforms, MSOs would need to significantly increase CapEx spend in order to compete with gigabit billboard rates and keep pace with growth.
Alternatively, MSOs can use the Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Router, a full-spectrum CCAP-compliant platform that is designed to support DOCSIS 3.1. The Cisco cBR-8 enables cable operators to offer multigigabit broadband and Internet of Everything (IoE) services, and provide a path to virtualization. It empowers MSOs to scale economically to deliver more capacity and best-in-class services with much lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
This white paper examines the consumer trends affecting cable access networks and the projections for how the network and services will evolve in the coming years. It provides a long-term economic analysis of an evolved access network using the Cisco cBR-8, compared with competitive Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) platforms. And it demonstrates how MSOs will be able to meet capacity and service demands over the next several years at a 40-percent savings in hardware, space, and power costs.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
