Detailed Keynote Information

Keynote I

Topic

"New Research Directions in Routing: Beyond Sequence Numbering, Routing Modalities, and Destination-Based Routing Table"

Presenter

J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves

Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, UC Santa Cruz

Principal Scientist, Xerox PARC

Abstact

The emergence of large-scale deployments of the Internet of Things (IoT) and distributed cyber-physical systems should renew interest in the  design of routing protocols that can operate correctly and efficiently in networking environments where routers may be very small devices and lose routing state, and where messages may be lost or corrupted many reasons. With this motivation, we discuss the limitations of using sequence numbers to ensure loop-free routing, and discuss new approaches to loop-free multi-path routing, a way to attain on-demand and proactive routing  dynamically on a per-destination basis, and  routing approaches that do not  need destination-based routing tables to operate.

Keynote II

Topic

"Toward Self-* Networks"

Presenter

Stefan Schmid

Full Professor at the University of Vienna, Austria

Abstract

Communication networks are becoming increasingly flexible, along three main dimensions: routing (enabler: software-defined networking), embedding (enabler: virtualization), and topology (enabler: reconfigurable optical technologies). This introduces great optimization opportunities but also new challenges, e.g., related to a more complex network management and operation. In this talk, I will sketch a vision of "self-* networks": networks which optimize and repair themselves in a more autonomous manner, disburdening human operators of their most difficult tasks. I will illustrate self-adjusting networks using two case studies: (1) a network which performs automated what-if analysis to efficiently test the policy-compliance of it configurations, even under failures; and (2) a demand-aware network which optimizes itself toward the workload it serves, in an online and self-adjusting manner. I will then discuss some fundamental research challenges introduced by such self-* networks more generally, and ask: what are the risks and limitations of such networks? And can self-* networks realize themselves when they reach their limits?

Keynote III

Topic

"User-centric Privacy & Security in the Networked World"

Presenter

Prof. Silvia Giordano

Head of the Networking Lab (NetLab)

Institute of System for Informatics and Networking (ISIN)

University of Applied Science and Arts - SUPSI in Ticino, Switzerland

Abstract

The Networked World is enabling a new service-rich world. However, it is also opening new paths for data leakage, data breach, and data phishing. We need to take a fresh look at the data privacy space by considering a user-centric approach. It has to be user-centric by considering user behaviours and the user context in order to teach them to improve security and privacy, and realize so privacy preserving data collection and processing. It has also to increase users awareness, data transparency and control. Users need to be informed about the data that are being collected in a user-friendly manner, and must have the option to oppose to them. This further generate a problem of Quality-of-Service, as in many scenarios there is a trade-off between guaranteeing privacy and performance. We are going to analyze some scenarios and possible solutions, and discuss how this can impact on our society.
