The 6th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN 2020) will be an innovative and interactive virtual gathering for a burgeoning global network of researchers and practitioners collaborating to develop the scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. It is the premier scholarly event focusing on advances in the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and other extended reality (XR) technologies to support learners and learning will now be held ***fully online and in virtual reality***. Scholars and professionals operating in formal education settings as well as those representing diverse industry sectors are invited to participate in the conference, where they will be able to share their research findings, experiences, and insights; network and establish partnerships to envision and shape the future of XR and immersive technologies for learning; and contribute to the emerging scholarly kn!
 owledge base on how these technologies can be used to create experiences that educate, engage, and excite learners.

Challenge: Network Device Workload Prediction

FedCSIS 2020 Data Mining Challenge: Network Device Workload Prediction
is the seventh data mining competition organized in association with
Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems
(https://fedcsis.org/). This time, the considered task is related to the
monitoring of large IT infrastructures and the estimation of their
resource allocation. The challenge is sponsored by EMCA Software and
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI).

OVERVIEW:
EMCA Software is a Polish vendor of Energy Logserver – a system capable
of collecting data from various log sources to provide in-depth data
analysis and alerting to its end-users. EMCA is based in Poland but also
operates in Nordics, APAC, and the USA, through the partner channels.
The company focuses on cybersecurity and IT infrastructure monitoring
use cases, intending to deliver a system that is ready-to-use and offers
inbox correlations and predictions on monitored data.

By this challenge, we want to help EMCA to answer the question of
whether it is possible to reliably predict workload-related
characteristics of monitored devices, based on historical data gathered
from such devices. This task is of paramount importance for IT and
technical teams that can put their hands on a tool that allows them to
manage the capacity of their infrastructure.

An additional difficulty within this challenge, and also the reason why
it might be especially interesting for the data science community,
arises from the fact that devices considered in the data are not
uniform. In essence, logs cover readings from various types of hardware.
Some of them are cross-dependent, as they are a part of the same IT
system. Moreover, some devices have multiple interfaces for which the
data is aggregated.

DETAILS:
More details regarding the task and a description of the challenge data
can be found in the Task description section (see:
https://knowledgepit.ml/fedcsis20-challenge/)

SPECIAL SESSION at FedCSIS 2020:
As in previous years, a special session devoted to the competition will
be held at the conference. We will invite authors of selected challenge
reports to extend them for publication in the conference proceedings
(after reviews by Organizing Committee members) and presentation at the
conference. The papers will be indexed by the IEEE Digital Library and
Web of Science. The invited teams will be chosen based on their final
rank, innovativeness of their approach, and quality of the submitted report.

AWARDS:
Authors of the top-ranked solutions (based on the final evaluation
scores) will be awarded prizes funded by our sponsors:

First Prize: 1500 USD + one free FedCSIS'20 conference registration,
Second Prize: 1000 USD + one free FedCSIS'20 conference registration,
Third Prize: 500 USD + one free FedCSIS'20 conference registration.
The award ceremony will take place during the FedCSIS'20 conference.
Please note that the winners will only be eligible for the money prizes
only if their final score exceeds the baseline solution score by at
least 10%.
