The DIOR project combines research in artificial intelligence, optical communications and radio communication networks. Its objective is to develop new methods and intelligent technologies for creating high-speed, reliable, secure and energy-efficient communication networks.

The University’s modern computing complex has become an important tool for the research conducted by the NURE team and has already been used for more than nine months to support educational and scientific activities. The server infrastructure was created at the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the joint project with the World Bank, Ukraine Improving Higher Education for Results Project (UIHERP).

The computing capacity of the complex enables NURE researchers to model the operation of optical and radio communication networks, generate and process large datasets, train artificial intelligence models and conduct extensive series of numerical experiments.

By using modern server equipment, researchers can simulate hundreds of millions of network events within a reasonable period of time, test scientific hypotheses, compare the efficiency of different algorithms and study network operation under various load scenarios. This has already enabled the DIOR project team to obtain practical results in applying artificial intelligence methods to the management of next-generation communication networks.

“The integration of artificial intelligence mechanisms into network infrastructure will make it possible to build next-generation networks. We are developing a new type of diffusion model whose application to network management will increase data transmission speeds, significantly reduce energy consumption and improve network reliability. Thanks to the modern equipment, we can simulate hundreds of millions of network events during each study and obtain results within a reasonable period of time,” said Oleksandr Shevchenko, Professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence at NURE.

The results obtained demonstrate that the development of NURE’s own computing infrastructure directly expands the capabilities of the University’s research teams. The modern complex makes it possible to perform resource-intensive computer simulations, process large datasets and conduct research requiring substantial computing power.

NURE’s participation in the DIOR project contributes to the University’s integration into the European Research Area, the development of international scientific cooperation and the practical application of artificial intelligence technologies to create communication networks of the future.

The Deep Intelligent Optical and Radio Communication Networks – DIOR project is implemented under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange programme within the European Union’s Horizon 2020 framework programme.

NURE’s computing infrastructure was developed at the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the joint project with the World Bank, Ukraine Improving Higher Education for Results Project (UIHERP).
