Thanks to the spreading of new IT technologies and trends, significant milestones have been reached in everyday life, in the corporate sector, in research and education, as well as in patient care. Artificial intelligence has become a tool we use daily, as it has a vital role in the operation and management of data science, virtual technologies and cloud-based systems.
Representatives of Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (Budapest University of Technology and Economics), Cisco Systems Hungary, EPAM, DT-ITS, Morgan Stanley and Department of IT Systems and Networks of the Faculty of Informatics gave talks to the participants in the innovation workshop ISNODA (Informatics System & Networks for Orchestration of Distributed Analytics), held on Tuesday at the Faculty of Informatics. The presentations, given in Hungarian and in English, focused mostly on how artificial intelligence supports the automation of networks and how this can impact the transformation of telecommunications. The objective of the workshop was to provide a deeper insight into the future of IT systems through practical examples and theoretical background knowledge.
At the opening ceremony of the event, Zoltán Gál, Head of the Department of IT Systems and Networks of the Faculty of Informatics at UD, emphasized that artificial intelligence and the latest IT technologies pose new challenges to society and how, in this situation, not only companies but also universities need to keep abreast of the most recent developments.
“The primary objective of this conference is to present the known infrastructure systems that serve users in the field of IT systems and networks, while making them more efficient, flexible and operational. A major contributor to these algorithms is artificial intelligence, for certain operations can simply no longer be performed by human beings. In order to make it possible to gain a broad knowledge of the current trends and opportunities, we have invited participating companies whose activities and innovative operations are closely related to the subject area to attend. Consequently, as many as ten topical and forward-looking presentations were given by experts from the companies and institutions present,” said the head of the department.
The participants of the workshop also learned about cloud technologies, while the difficulties of the implementation of these, including regulatory and integration challenges were illustrated through the example of a large financial institution. In addition, experts who gave presentations showed how containerization technologies can simplify the development and scaling of applications. They also provided detailed insights on how machine learning-based methods offer automated tools to uncover hidden operational problems.
On top of all the above, they also presented the latest advances in programmed prompting based on large language models in special environments, Cisco AI network operations, they detailed techniques to support artificial intelligence, described resilience in cloud-based enterprise networks, introduced strategies for the recovery of Kafka-based message flow systems and summarized the experience of Cisco Academy at the Faculty of Informatics at UD.
