ICSA Colloquium Talk - 11/05/2023

Title: 5G – what is it and why should we care?

Abstract: There is a lot of hype about 5G. In this talk I will give my personal opinion about what 5G is, what it can bring us, and why we should care. I will focus on virtualization, automation and programmability, and I will discuss challenges and opportunities arising from them. I will show examples how these aspects of 5G can help optimize network performance and enable new computing scenarios.
