Academics and businesses are very interested in using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to solve the most challenging problems in a variety of fields.

It also covers key challenges and the domain’s future course. We highlight the critical role AI/ML can play in opening the door to self-configuring, self-adapting as well as self-managing networks, but research is inadequate due to the difficulties found in this domain.
