The AIMLOps 2026 workshop will take place in Rome, co-located with IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2026 (18–22 May 2026). The event explores the convergence between AI-driven network management and MLOps — two essential pillars for autonomous networks, intelligent services, and 6G/IoT infrastructures.

Why AIMLOps ?

AI is transforming the way networks are managed, secured and optimised. But this evolution brings with it a second challenge: mastering the AI/ML pipelines themselves. AIMLOps 2026 fits squarely into this key space :

AI for Management : using AI to operate, supervise and automate networks and services;
Management for AI : managing the lifecycle of models (MLOps, AIOps, LLM-Ops), ensuring their reliability, security and compliance.

This dual perspective makes the workshop a privileged forum for researchers and industrialists who are shaping the next generation of autonomous network management.

Areas of contribution

AIMLOps covers a wide range of emerging topics such as :

Generative AI and LLMs for orchestration, intent-based networking, security and predictive maintenance.
Deep Reinforcement Learning for dynamic optimisation, QoS/QoE and adaptive resource management.
Autonomous & zero-touch management, anomaly detection, defence-in-depth, and AI for cybersecurity.
MLOps / AIOps / LLM-Ops: deployment, monitoring, explainability, evaluation, model security.
Governance, privacy-preserving AI, robustness against adversarial attacks.

Research articles, position papers, demonstrations and feedback are welcome (6 pages, IEEE format).
