License-exempt spectrum bands make it possible for operators who do not have access to licensed spectrum to deploy wireless broadband networks. Traditionally vendors have developed specific solutions for license-exempt operators, often based on proprietary technology that limits the flexibility and upgradability of their networks.
With Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16e WiMAX, license-exempt operators have access to the most advanced wireless broadband technology on the market today and can take advantage of the same performance, ecosystem, and volume of scale that incumbent, nationwide wireless operators with licensed-spectrum can.
While often positioned as a mobile broadband technology that operates in licensed bands, 802.16e WiMAX can also support fixed and nomadic services, and vertical applications in a range of frequencies up to 6 GHz, including license-exempt bands such as the 5.x GHz band and, in the US, the lightly licensed 3.65 GHz band.
As 802.16e WiMAX products for license-exempt bands are introduced in the market, operators need to know what the value proposition of using 802.16e WiMAX compared to alternative solutions is. How do they stand to gain from a technology that was developed to support mobility? Do they need the extra features that 802.16e WiMAX offers?
We just finished a white paper that addresses these questions by looking at operators' requirements and how 802.16e WiMAX meets them.

Keynote by Thierry Coupaye at the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking, Niagara Falls, Canada, October 2015.
Summary: Cloud computing emerged, a decade or so ago, from underused computing and storage ressources in Internet players mega data centres that were thought to be provided "as a service". As a result of this inception, Cloud is often considered as a synonym for massive data center, which somehow fuels a very centralised vision of (cloud) computing and storage provision. However, we might be at a time in which the pendulum begins to swing back. Indeed, several initiatives are emerging around a vision of more geographically distributed clouds where computing and storage resources are made available at the edge of the network, close to users, in complement or replacement of massive remote data centres. This presentation discusses, through some examples, the evolution of cloud architectures towards more distribution, the signs and stakes of these mutations.

Ericsson Review: Software-Defined-NetworkingEricsson
An architecture based on software-defined networking (SDN) techniques gives operators greater freedom to balance operational and business parameters, such as network resilience, service performance and QoE against opex and capex. With its beginnings in data-center technology, software-defined networking (SDN) technology has developed to the point where it can offer significant opportunities to service providers.
The traditional way of describing network architecture and how a network behaves is through the fixed designs and behaviors of its various elements. The concept of software-defined networking (SDN) describes networks and how they behave in a more flexible way – through software tools that describe network elements in terms of programmable network states.
To maximize the potential benefits and deliver superior user experience, software-defined networking (SDN) needs to be implemented outside the sphere of the data center across the entire network. This can be achieved through enabling network programmability based on open APIs. Service Provider SDN will help operators to scale networks and take advantage of new revenue-generating possibilities.

Describe the evolution of WiMAX. Why is WiMAX technology important f.pdfjibinsh
Describe the evolution of WiMAX. Why is WiMAX technology important for the continuing
development of broadband wireless?
Solution
WiMAX:
WiMAX is a coined term or acronym meaning worldwide interoperability for microwave access
(WiMAX).
Evolution of WiMAX:
WiMAX, which comes from the expression worldwide interoperability for microwave access, is
the trademark name for technologies that are based on the IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless
access standard. Although it is not necessarily a new standard (work began on the standard in
1999), WiMAX has gained some momentum with the 802.16d and 802.16e versions that have
been ratified now for several years.
The 802.16 working group initially defined a couple of different single carrier bands. However,
the most widely used implementations of the standard are 802.16d and 802.16e which instead
use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing Access (OFDMA). OFDMA is a multi-user version of OFDM and has some
claimed advantages over traditional CDMA and time division statistical multiplexing methods.
WiMAX, many 3G and proposed 4G networks, and the latest 802.11 versions all have chosen
OFDM and OFDMA platforms, although there are a number of different flavors even within the
WiMAX standard.
Most researchers are familiar with the technical features of WiMAX technology but the
evolution that WiMAX went through, in terms of standardization and certification, is missing
and unknown to most people. Knowledge of this historical process would however aid to
understand how WiMAX has become the widespread technology that it is today. Furthermore, it
would give insight in the steps to undertake for anyone aiming at introducing a new wireless
technology on a worldwide scale. Therefore, this article presents a survey on all relevant
activities that took place within three important organizations: the 802.16 Working Group of the
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) for technology development and
standardization, the WiMAX Forum for product certification and the ITU (International
Telecommunication Union) for international recognition. An elaborated and comprehensive
overview of all those activities is given, which reveals the importance of the willingness to
innovate and to continuously incorporate new ideas in the IEEE standardization process and the
importance of the WiMAX Forum certification label granting process to ensure interoperability.
We also emphasize the steps that were taken in cooperating with the ITU to improve the
international esteem of the technology. Finally, a WiMAX trend analysis is made. We showed
how industry interest has fluctuated over time and quantified the evolution in WiMAX product
certification and deployments. It is shown that most interest went to the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz
frequencies, that most deployments are in geographic regions with a lot of developing countries
and that the highest people coverage is achieved in Asi.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
