NETCONF is a protocol defined by the IETF to "install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices". NETCONF operations are realized on top of a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) layer using an XML encoding and provides a basic set of operations to edit and query configuration on a network device.
Synopsis: A tutorial on the NETCONF protocol. The operations of the core NETCONF protocol are taught. This is followed by examination of traces of NETCONF sessions.
Webinar: Applying REST to Network Management – An Implementor’s View Tail-f Systems
This webinar gives an introduction to the principles of REST, shows how it can be used to expose programmable APIs on network elements and provides some real world examples from our implementation.
The principles of Representational State Transfer (REST) have gained a strong following since they were described by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation written in 2000. REST’s strength lies in its scalability and generality, allowing it to be used for many types of applications.
The industry has already seen a number of implementations of network management applications that use REST interfaces on the infrastructure management layer, notably OpenStack Quantum and the Sun Cloud API. As a vendor to the vendors, we’ve seen a significant increase in interest around having REST interfaces exposed directly on the network element, be they hardware based or virtual.

Machbase Neo is an innovative iot data processing solution that integrates various features into an #all_in_one timeseries database.
In the past, development organizations had to invest a lot of time and resources to build a single service or solution. Moreover, they had to navigate complex and challenging processes for data collection and processing. But now, with the introduction of Machbase Neo, these problems have been solved. You can now set up everything using just one Machbase Neo server, allowing developers to focus on their core tasks. This product can save developers over 90% of their time by eliminating unnecessary tasks.
Data lineage has gained popularity in the Machine Learning community as a way to make models and datasets easier to interpret and to help developers debug their ML pipelines by enabling them to go from a model to the dataset/user who trained it. Data provenance and lineage is the process of building up the history of how a data artifact came to be. This history of derivations and interactions can provide a better context for data discovery, debugging, as well as auditing. In this area, others, such as Google and Databricks, have made small steps.
The Hopsworks approach presented provenance information is collected implicitly through the unobtrusive instrumentation of jupyter notebooks and python code - What we call 'implicit provenance'.

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.

3. Why NETCONF/YANG - Informational RFC 3535
• SNMP had failed
• For configuration, that is
• Extensive use in fault handling and
monitoring
• CLI scripting
• “Market share” 70%+
Abstract
This document provides an overview of a
workshop held by the Internet Architecture Board
(IAB) on Network Management. The workshop
was hosted by CNRI in Reston, VA, USA from
June 4 thru June 6, 2002. The goal of the
workshop was to continue the important dialog
started between network operators and
protocol developers, and to guide the IETFs
focus on future work regarding network
management.

5. What is a Data-Model? What is a Network
Management Protocol?
• Data-Model
• A data-model explicitly and precisely determines the
structure, syntax and semantics of the data…
• …that is externally visible
• Consistent and complete
• Protocol
• Remote primitives to view and manipulate the data
• Encoding of the data as defined by the data-model

Protocol
6. Confusion and Comparison
• Data-Models and information Models
• Information models are for humans
• Not everything
• Not always detailed and precise
• Starting-point for data-model
• Protocol
• Confusion between domain-specific network management
protocols and general RPC mechanisms
• NETCONF vs. CORBA, SOAP, REST, …

7. What is YANG?
• YANG – Yet Another Next-Generation...
• ... Communication Protocol?
• ... Messaging Bus?
• ... Management Information Definition Language!
• Purpose
• Define management information for Netconf...
• ... Original focus on configuration information, but not restricted to it
• ... Can be separated from Netconf
(not a goal of the specification, but an important aspect)
8. YANG and XML
• YANG assumes an XML encoding of instantiated information
• Defines XML rendering rules
• Relies on XML encoding for certain advanced features (e.g. expression of constraints
using Xpath)
• Facilitates describing XML document hierarchies
• Nicely aligned with NETCONF
• YANG itself is not XML
• Emphasis on readability
• Familiar structure to C/C++ or Java programmers
• XML notation exists: YIN (Yang-Independent Notation)
• Semantic equivalence
• Syntactic conversions YANG <-> YIN
• Alternative encodings defined (e.g. JSON for RESTconf)
9. YANG compared to SNMP

“Content”
“Payload”
“Framework”
Compare SNMP
Import conversion rules exist
(MIBs YANG)
“instant content”
Ability to express hierarchy
(compare MIBs: flat + tables)
Richer conditions, constraints
Facilities for easier reuse
RPC/Action support
Human readability
Dynamic extensibility
B2B, Web toolkits
Bulk vs only incremental ops
(manipulation of config files,
e.g. edit-config)
Transaction support
Configuration vs monitoringor possibly other
(no inherent dependency but
will require different bindings)

• Data modeling language
• Configuration data
• State data
• Tree structure
• Data and Types
acme-box module
properties container
interfaces container
name: string, config
name: string, config
interface: list, key = name
oper-state: enum, config
12. RESTCONF
• ReSTful protocol to access YANG defined data
• Remote State Transfer, i.e. server maintains no session state
• HTTL URLs reflect data hierarchy in a YANG-modelled datastore
RESTCONF Netconf
GET <get-config>, <get>
POST <edit-config> (“create”)
PUT <edit-config> (“replace”)
PATCH <edit-config> (“merge”)
DELETE <edit-config> (“delete”)
OPTIONS (discover supported operations)
HEAD (get without body)
