Aug 13, 2026 ChamaleoNet will appear in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking journal. Like chamaleons 🦖 can change skins, ChamaleoNet can mutate any live network into a programmable network telescope, significantly enlarging the visibility of malicious and suspicious traffic entering/exiting a campus or enterprise network! Try it out: zhihao1998/ChamaleoNet.
Aug 13, 2026 Glad of being an invited speaker at GlobalConnect 2026 organized by Huawei! See you in Paris on September 14th.
Aug 03, 2026 Thanks to ITU-T for inviting me to present at their workshop At the crossroads of Standards and Research: AI/ML datasets for future networks next October. I will share my vision on how to build realistic and large-scale agentic benchmarks to enable progress in AI-driven networking operations.
Jul 30, 2026 CALM-MAS 🧘🏽‍♂️🧘🏽‍♂️ has been accepted at ACM APSys 2026. We address the question: “What if we treat test-time compute as an elastic knob of agentic LLM applications, and regulate the amount of per-session computation depending on the congestion state of the serving engine?” Mouheb will present this idea and share our findings in Bangkok 🧘🏽‍♂️
