[LARTC] QoS with Artifficial Intelligence

[Chris Bennett]

You're really serious?  Hmm... okay.

As far as giving any specific help, the last time I worked with neural net 
software was in college which was... um.. over 12 years ago.  So I really 
have no idea what the latest available software for doing something like 
this is.  Sorry.

>From a theoretical perspective I'll say this:  as a research project I think 
you could get interesting results by trying out something along the lines of 
having the neural net vary parameters and receive positive or negative 
feedback based on the latency, throughput or something like that.  By 
"interesting" I mean exactly that... interesting but not necessarly useful. 
I'd hate to be the one who has to suffer through using a network that is in 
training mode.  And while there may be patterns that a neural net could 
learn, I'm not sure how well the neural net would move from reacting to 
conditions to actually anticipating conditions.  And to the extent that it 
ever did correctly anticipate certain conditions, what would be the cost of 
incorrect guesses..?  I suppose it all depends on how predictable the 
activity on a particular network is.

My one practical thought is this: I'd try to shorten the feedback loop 
considerably.  Every minute or so is, I'd guess, way too long.  I'd go for 
every 10 seconds or so if possible.

Anyway, guess I'm saying its a "neat idea" but I'm not personally interested 
in pursuing it.  Good luck.  Try it out.. write a paper, become famous.
