Programmable Telecom Networks
Today’s application developers create embedded voice, video, and messaging applications of all kinds that use the ubiquitous IP-enabled wireless networks, smartphones and tablets that have become the norm. These applications provide a much richer, contextual experiences than were possible in the past.
At the same time, programmable networks are giving rise to a new class of developer – network engineers who can programmatically interact with the networks they administer. Programmatic interfaces enable us to automate the creation of new network services. They also enable monitoring and scaling existing network services in real time to meet the rapidly increasing demands of the applications that run on top of them.
This evolution makes it possible to build, deploy, and operate new communications services quickly and with relative ease. It increases the number of communications developers and ushers in an era of “programmable telecom networks” that are focused not only on technologies such as 5G and virtualization through NFV/SDN, but also on a growing set of intersections with natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain distributed ledgers, and many others.
This track will focus on the technologies behind the shift to programmable telecom networks, new skills required for the emerging class of network developers, and how these technologies are democratizing the way developers and network engineers create value and solve problems in disparate verticals. We will also delve into the intersection of voice, video and messaging technologies with other disciplines to examine potential threats and opportunities as developers and customers define new cutting-edge services and create new, disruptive applications.
