Tutorial 1 : A New Convergence Trend : Mobile IPTV Expanding the Value of IPTV

Soohong Daniel Park (Samsung Electronics)

Abstract : IPTV is defined as multimedia services, such as TV, video, audio, text, graphics, and data, delivered over IP-based networks managed to support quality of service (QoS), quality of experience, security, interactivity, and reliability. Mobile IPTV extends those services to mobile networks. This tutorial discusses Mobile IPTV standardization’s status, related approaches in the field, and technical challenges to enhancing Mobile IPTV services. Given the critical role of QoS in the technology’s widespread adoption, this tutorial also propose an efficient signaling scheme to support QoS for seamless Mobile IPTV services. Additionally, this tutorial illustrates on the current W3C activity in terms of Video in the Web.

Tutorial 2 : Points to Consider in IPv6 Network Construction and Operation

Tomohiro Fujisaki (NTT, Japan)

Yoshiinobu Matsuzaki( IIJ, Japan)

Abstract:  This tutorial introduces points to keep in mind during constructing and operatiing IPv6 networks mainly from the viewopint of ISP and enterprise network operators. IPv6 has many features in his specification that IPv4 does not have, such as address to configuration, extension headers, Operators have to take care of these new features.

Tutorial 3 : Management of the Future Internet Using Autonomic Principles

Prof. John C. Strassner

Abstract: This tutorial first derives management requirements for the Future Internet, Next, a proposed management architecture, based on autonomic principles, is then described that emphasizes backwards compatibility with current and next generation Internet applications and services while providing new features, such as context-aware policy-based governance. The tutorial concludes with example applications of this architecture from European as well as Korean projects.

CV : John Strassner is a Professor at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), and is deeply involved in POSTECH’s World Class University program. Previously, he was a Professor at Waterford Institute of Technology. Before that, he was a Motorola Fellow and Vice President of Autonomic Research at Motorola Labs, where he was responsible for directing Motorola's efforts in autonomic computing and networking, policy management, and knowledge engineering. Previously, John was the Chief Strategy Officer for Intelliden and a former Cisco Fellow. He is the Chairman of the Autonomic Communications Forum; previously, he was the past Chairman for IEEE P1900.5 working group (policy languages and architectures for dynamic spectrum access), the past Chairman of the TMF's NGOSS SID, metamodel and policy working groups, and the past Chair or Co-Chair of several IETF and WWRD working groups. John invented DEN (Directory Enabled Networks) and DEN-ng as a new paradigm for managing and provisioning networks and networked applications. He has authored two books (Directory Enabled Networks and Policy Based Network Management), written chapters for 4 other books, and has been co-editor of five journals dedicated to network and service management and autonomics. John is the recipient of the Daniel A. Stokesbury memorial award for excellence in network management, is a member of the Industry Advisory Board for both the University of California Davis and DePaul University, a TMF Distinguished Fellow, and has authored over 210 refereed journal papers and publications.

Tutoriala 4 : Management of the Outer Edge: Opportunities for Operators to Provide new Services in Future Smart Homes - U-Health for Elderly Use Case

Dr Nazim Agoulmine

Abstract: New network types, smart communication devices and sensors are constantly appearing in the home environment, thus allowing for the emergence of new types of ubiquitous services. An important subset of this evolving network is the emergence of what is called the “outer edge”. While this evolution creates new opportunities for business, the home network is not currently controlled by the operator, and as such, they couldn’t really benefit from their development. The outer edge is physically connected to and exchanges data with access networks and service interactions could occur between service entities in the outer edge, network operator service entities, and external service entities for a better provision of smart services. How operators can take benefit of this opportunity to develop their business outside the pipes and how to blend these heterogeneous and complex home networks into operators’ network and service management systems in a seamless manner are among the questions that will be addressed in this tutorial? The structure of this tutorial is as follows: I will first present the challenges and opportunities around ubiquitous services in smart homes. Then, I will introduce the requirements in term of autonomic management of services as well as the synergy between the outer edge network management and the operator network management. Next, I will highlight how the end-to-end service provisioning chain and management can be performed and what are the challenges behind this management. An example of such an initiative within the European Research Project Magneto is therefore presented. In addition, in the last part of the tutorial, I will present a particular a case study of such a system to provide U-Health services to elderly in their own home to support their independence and high quality of care. This U-Health system is discussed within the framework of the WCU project “Convergence in IT” at POSTECH, Pohang, Korea.
