Abstract: Network programmability enables agile configuration, real-time monitoring, and efficient management of network elements, enhancing performance, reliability, and security. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers automated, data-driven orchestration of networks and systems, unlocking new levels of intelligence and adaptability. Together, these two complementary domains are transforming the landscape of distributed systems, particularly in the realms of the Internet of Things (IoT) and telecommunications. This talk will begin by exploring how network programmability can enhance the security and performance of distributed and networked systems. It will then highlight use cases where AI elevates these systems through intelligent automation and decision-making. Finally, the presentation will address key development challenges and emerging opportunities in building AI-driven and big data-enabled systems.
Bio: Dr. Israat Haque is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, where she leads the Programmable and Intelligent Networking (PINet) Lab. Her expertise is in distributed and networking systems and security. She leverages network programmability to develop cutting-edge, high-performance, secure, and dependable systems for AI/ML, Big Data, cloud, telecommunication, and IoT systems. She is also interested in applying data-driven approaches to solve practical and relevant problems. Dr. Haque was recognized as an ACM/IEEE N2Women Rising Star in 2021 for her research and leadership contributions. Subsequently, she received Digital Nova Scotia's Thinking Forward Award 2022 for training the next generation of tech talents. In 2024, she received the Alumni Honour Award from her Alma Mater, the University of Alberta.

The 36th edition of the annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) will be held in İstanbul, Türkiye. Originally founded as a workshop in London in 1989, it developed over the years to become one of the two major conferences of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) in wireless communications and networking, attracting technical communities from all regions and continents. Following a successful 2019 edition in Türkiye, the 2025 edition returns to İstanbul and will be held face-to-face. PIMRC 2025 will assemble worldwide experts to deliver keynotes, tutorials, workshops, industry panels, and high-quality technical sessions.
