In goal-oriented networking, the usefulness of delivered information is shaped by an interplay among sampling decisions, delay uncertainty, transmission opportunities, and service dynamics. Age of Information (AoI) has provided a powerful metric for studying this interplay, revealing behaviors that often run counter to conventional intuition. This talk presents several recent results: in network connections with heterogeneous paths, route selection can reshape freshness-optimal sampling behavior. In systems with random and heavy-tailed service times, proactive preemption becomes a powerful control lever for freshness, enabling the system to tame heavy-tailed service uncertainty and substantially outperform classical non-preemptive age-optimal policies. Overall, the talk shows that random delay need not be a hindrance to freshness in networks: with the right design, it can even be turned into the system's advantage.
Prof. Dr. Elif Uysal, founder of FRESHDATA, continues to lead groundbreaking research and mentor the next generation of communication network experts.
