Recently the members of the Information and Networking Technologies Research and Innovation Group (INTRIG), along with the principal investigator Prof. Christian Rothenberg from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, participated in the 9th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2023) held in Madrid, Spain from June 19th to June 23rd.
NetSoft has established itself as a major platform for researchers and professionals to showcase their cutting-edge work and exchange ideas in Network Softwarization over the past few years. This year’s conference theme was “Boosting Future Networks through Advanced Softwarization.”
Presentations
During this renowned international event, the following members of INTRIG showcased their research contributions and findings:
- Celso Henrique Cesila presented the work titled “Chat-IBN-RASA: Building an Intent Translator for Packet-Optical Networks based on RASA” in the workshop on Intent-Based Networking (WIN’2023), co-located with the NetSoft event.
