Talk Title:
Impact of IPv6 on Network Management, Autonomicity, Cloud Computing,
Internet of Things & SmartGrids
Abstract:
IPv6 was designed to cater for many deployment
scenarios, starting with extension of the packet technology and
therefore supporting IPv4 with transition models to keep IPv4 working
even for ever and then to cater for new uses and new models that
require a combination of features that were not tightly designed or
scalable in IPv4 like end to end connectivity, end to end services, ad
hoc services, end to end QoS, end to end security, auto-config on
the fly, large-scale multicast, anycast services and IP mobility; to
the extreme scenario where IP becomes a commodity service enabling
lowest cost deployment of large scale cloud computing, Internet of
Things, SmartGRIDs, Green IT, sensor networks, RFID, IP in the car, to
any imaginable scenario where networking adds value to commodity. The
network management and the maintenance of the infrastructure become a
central and critical element and here again IPv6 extends reachability,
remote access and remote diagnostics at node level. The autonomicity
takes a new dimension with use of IPv6 extensions, there’s a potential
to open new frontiers in this research area. This is called progress in
networking making IP the dominant open Internet protocol.

Talk Title:
Self-Managing Future Internet, and a wake-up call to
Standardization in Autonomic Computing, Autonomic Networking and
Self-Management
Abstract:
The talk will offer some perspectives on how
to create a viable Evolution Path towards Self-Managing Future Internet
via the use of a standardizable, evolvable and commonly-shared
architectural Reference Model for Autonomic Network Engineering and
Self-Management for Future Network design. We present a scenario on how
the Self-Managing Future Internet can emerge through a viable Evolution
Path that considers incrementally evolving today’s network models,
architectures, protocols such as IPv6 (in particular) and paradigms.
The scenario goes on to define the incremental changes and concepts
necessitated and guided by a unified, holistic, commonly-shared
architectural Reference Model for Autonomic Network Engineering and
Self-Management that needs to be established first as a starting point
to creating the Evolution Path towards the Self-Managing Future
Internet. Significant efforts are now being invested towards
establishing a Generic Autonomic Networking Architecture (GANA) as
Reference Model for Autonomic Network Engineering and Self-Management
for Future Networks. As a Reference Model, it is meant to establish
common language, understanding and reasoning about the design
principles for autonomic management and control of managed entities
(both, functional entities and physical resources) by
Decision-Making-Elements. It must also reflect and describe hierarchies
and horizontal peer relations and interaction-flow in decision-making
and management. Also to be reflected in the Reference Model, are the
Decision-Making-Elements: (1) as inter-working drivers of hierarchical
control-loops and as containers of cognitive and learning algorithms,
and (2) their levels of operation within the architecture of a
node/device up to the level of the network architecture as a whole.
This calls for standardization, since no commonly shared holistic
Reference Model existed before. The evolution of today’s network
models, architectures, networking paradigms and protocols such as
IPv6 (towards IPv6++) must be guided and necessitated by this type of
the sought architectural Reference Model. The Scenario is a “what-if”
type of Scenario that presents solid and realistic steps that define an
evolutionary roadmap to achieving a very advanced feature-rich
Self-Managing Future Internet by 2015 (or possibly earlier), which can
continue to evolve beyond that time frame. On the other hand, now is
the time to digest and bring the good and validated concepts currently
scattered in conference/workshop/journal publications, into the
development of the architectural Reference Model. Such validated
concepts as they make their way into the Reference Model, will also be
applied in the incremental evolution of today’s network models,
architectures, protocols such as IPv6, as the Reference Model is
instantiated for autonomic management and control of today’s
technologies and protocols in diverse network environments and
contexts. Concrete implementation architectures derive from an
instantiation of the architectural Reference Model for a particular
type of network environment, device roles and context.

Ranganai
Chaparadza is a Researcher in the field of Internet and
Telecommunications Networks
and is currently working for Fraunhofer FOKUS Institute for Open
Communication Systems in Berlin,
Germany.
His
current activities include: Technical Manager and Researcher for the
EC-funded FP7-EFIPSANS project. EFIPSANS stands for: Exposing the Features in IP version Six protocols that
can be exploited/extended for the purposes of
designing/building Autonomic Networks and Services: http://www.efipsans.org.
He is also Chairman of the growing Industry Specification Group (ISG)

Self-Managing
Networks; (2) The evolution and application of the recently emerged
“standardizable” Architectural Reference Model for Autonomic Networking
