Workshop Description

Many Future Internet research projects deal with efficient data acquisition and analysis of large scale data in order to make intelligent decisions for management of the network and the services offered over the network. The virtualized nature of future networks and computational infrastructures introduces specific problems, but also creates very interesting opportunities.

The organizers of this workshop play are very active in three ongoing Future Internet cluster projects. The FP7 Leone project focuses on large scale measurement platforms and can be considered as the underlying layer for future network and service management platforms. The NoE Flamingo projects focuses on the network management layer and important topics are Network and service monitoring, based on flow-based techniques, automated configuration and repair, based on self-* features and frameworks, for management of large scale networks and economic, legal, and regulative constraints in the Future Internet. The FP7 Fusion project studies a service layer for the Future Internet, and focuses on efficient provisioning, discovery and execution of service components distributed over the Internet, and promotes the idea of ‘service-centric networking’.

The interaction, interfaces, and synergies between the Monitoring Layer (e.g. Leone), Network Management Layer (e.g. Flamingo) and Service Management and Control Layer (e.g. Fusion) is very interesting for an interactive workshop session. For instance, following important questions will be addressed: how can the service layer benefit from the large scale monitoring and measurement systems?, how can the interaction between content placement techniques and the services that make use of the content in the service management layer be organized in the best possible way?, which service security requirements are necessary to take into account in the network management layer?, etc.

It will be great to discuss in detail the synergies between the studied data acquisition and analysis approaches, the required interfaces, the coordination of actions taken in the different layers, and the challenges and oppotunities of the recent emergence of virtualized infrastructures.
