International Workshop on
Autonomic Networking and Self-Management in the Access Networks

in conjunction with ACCESSNETS 2010, 3-5 November 2010, Budapest, Hungary

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The International workshop on Autonomic Networking and Self-Management in the Access Networks will provide a forum to researchers to propose theories and technologies of autonomic networking and self-management, to share their experience and to discuss future solutions in access networks.

The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to the following:

- Auto-Discovery and Auto-Configuration (Self-Configuration) of end-systems and access devices, and the required collaboration mechanisms (enablers),
- Auto-Collaboration of end-systems and the access network for Optimal Network Resource Utilization,
- Self-Organization,
- Self-Optimization,
- Self-Healing,
- Security and Trust,
- Autonomic Service Provisioning and Maintenance,
- IPv6 Features that enable autonomic network set-up and operation,
- IPv6 in the access network and deployment challenges,
- Multi-access network environments and end-system selection of access networks to attach to, and multi-homing,
- Mobility and Service Continuity across multiple access network points,
- Metrics to measure OPEX reduction brought by self-management in the access network,
- Requirements analysis for autonomic behaviours required in the Access-Edge/Core Interface.
