ExAI5G: A Logic-Based Explainable AI Framework for Intrusion Detection in 5G Networks
Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) for 5G networks must handle complex, high-volume traffic. Although opaque "black-box" models can achieve high accuracy, their lack of transparency hinders trust and effective operational response. We propose ExAI5G, a framework that prioritizes interpretability by integrating a Transformer-based deep learning IDS with logic-based explainable AI (XAI) techniques.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of VIIRS Satellite Observations and Network Traffic During the 2025 Manitoba Wildfires
arXiv:2604.14392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Climate change has intensified extreme weather and wildfire conditions globally. Canada experienced record-breaking wildfires in 2023 and 2025, burning millions of hectares and severely impacting the Prairie provinces, with Manitoba facing its worst season in 30 years. These events highlight the urgent need to understand and mitigate escalating fire risks. While existing research largely focuses on wildfire management approaches, few studies have explored the relationship between user network traffic and wildfire activity, despite the potential of such correlations to provide valuable spatiotemporal insights into wildfire dynamics. This paper investigates the relationship between wildfire intensity and network performance during the 2025 Manitoba wildfire season, using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellite-derived Fire Radiative Power data and large-scale Speedtest measurements. We found statistically significant correlations between wildfire intensity and several network performance metrics in both the province-wide and region-wide case studies, as measured by Spearman's correlation coefficients ($\rho$) and corresponding p-values. Throughput-related metrics showed inverse correlations with wildfire intensity (e.g., download speed: $\rho = -0.214$, $p\_value = 0.004$), whereas latency-related metrics showed positive correlations (e.g., round-trip time latency: $\rho = 0.162$, $p\_value = 0.0308$). The findings suggest satellite fire indicators and network performance metrics together can reveal vulnerabilities during extreme environmental events and support diaster response and recovery efforts.

Optical networks to bridge the AI compute-consumption gap | Computer Weekly Robert Kneschke - stock.adobe.co By - Aaron Tan, Informa TechTarget Published: 08 Apr 2026 6:25 Artificial intelligence (AI) is often imagined as an ethereal network of algorithms and advanced computing chips in the cloud. But behind the scenes, the ability to generate a poem, render a video or run complex predictive models relies on pulses of light travelling through glass fibres across oceans and continents. As big tech firms and enterprises race to build multibillion-dollar datacentres to fuel the demand for AI, the telecoms infrastructure connecting them is under imme
