Demo paper: “Demonstration of a Scalable and Efficient Pipeline for ML-based Optical Monitoring”

2023 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2023)
We demonstrate a scalable processing of OPM data using ML to detect anomalies in optical services at run time. A dashboard will show operational SDN controller metrics, raw OPM data, and the ML assessment result.

Flexible and scalable ML-based diagnosis module for optical networks: a security use case

2023 - Journal of Optical Communications and Networking Vol. 15, Issue 8, pp. C155-C165
To support the pervasive digital evolution, optical network infrastructures must be able to quickly and effectively adapt to changes arising from traffic dynamicity or external factors such as faults and attacks.

Microservice-Based Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Loop for Optical Networks

2022 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2022)
Unsupervised learning (UL) is a technique to detect previously unseen anomalies without needing labeled datasets. We propose the integration of a scalable UL-based inference component in the monitoring loop of an SDN-controlled optical network.

Autonomous Security Management in Optical Networks

2021 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2021)
The paper describes the Optical Security Manager module and focuses on the role of Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Issues related to accuracy, run-time complexity and interpretability of ML outputs are described and coping strategies outlined.

Scalable Physical Layer Security Components for Microservice-Based Optical SDN Controllers

2021 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC2021)
We propose and demonstrate a set of microservice-based security components able to perform physical layer security assessment and mitigation in optical networks. Results illustrate the scalability of the attack detection mechanism and the agility in mitigating attacks.
