Machine Learning for Network Management
暫譯: 網路管理的機器學習

本書詳細介紹如何將機器學習（Machine Learning, ML）應用於網路管理。內容適合高年級大學生或研究所層級的機器學習或電腦網路課程，作者展示了機器學習／人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）與網路管理典範之間的交集。本書涵蓋實現 AI／ML 驅動網路管理的實務方法與指引。

此外，本書也整理了與網路管理更為相關的 AI／ML 技術全貌，並介紹已部署於正式生產環境中的 AI／ML 網路管理解決方案，讓學生能夠探索其實際應用。本書另附有作業題目、練習、案例研究及 PowerPoint 投影片。

Oscar Mauricio Caicedo Rendón is a full professor at the Universidad del Cauca (Unicauca), Colombia, where he is a member of the Telematics Engineering Group of the Faculty of Telecommunications Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (2015), and his M.Sc. in Telematics Engineering (2006) as well as his degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering (2001) from Unicauca. He is an IEEE Senior Member (since 2020) and has been classified as a Senior Researcher by MinCiencias Colombia since 2018. He has also served as a visiting professor at the University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil, in 2018 and 2022. Prof. Caicedo Rendón is Series Editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine Series on Network Softwarization and Management, and an Associate Editor for IEEE Networking Letters, the IEEE Internet of Things Journal, and the IEEE Latin American Transactions. He served as General Chair of the IEEE Colombian Conference on Communications and Computing and Technical Program Co-Chair for IEEE LATINCOM 2020 and for the Machine Learning for Communications and Networking Symposium at IEEE GLOBECOM 2022. He continues to participate as a TPC member in various IEEE-sponsored international conferences and workshops, including NetSoft, CNMS, NOMS, EuCNC, and CloudNet, as well as reviewer in important venues like IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, and IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking, His current research interests include network and service management, network functions virtualization, software-defined networking, machine learning for networking, and network softwarization.
