[Encouragement Talk] Reinforcement Learning based Automated Process Generation for Virtual Network Update
Manabu Nakanoya (NEC) ICM2017-32
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Spreading the network virtualization and softwarization technology using network function virtualization(NFV) and software-defined networking(SDN), provisioning automation software which has control functions for virtualized network functions(VNFs) and SDN controllers is being developed. These software can easily collect various log data at once and change configurations. Therefore, users can utilize it to automate not only simple routine operation, but also for machine learning technology that can learn optimized operation and execute it. Especially, reinforcement learning, which can learn from large number of trials, has been studied to apply various cases because it became easy to execute many trials with software. However, existing automated IT resource control technologies using reinforcement learning are only for the cases where reduction of search space such as allocation of virtual machine, and search efficiency are easy. Hence, it is difficult to learn control tasks which may contain extensive search space such as IP address range. In this paper, I propose (1) a framework which can easily define and execute reinforcement learning with provisioning automation software and (2) a fast learning algorithm that can execute learning including parameters with vast choices where the efficient searching method is not trivial. In Addition, I evaluate its effectiveness through actual update task of virtual network devices executed on the framework (1).
