IMDEA Networks
12th IMDEA Networks Annual International Workshop
Members of IMDEA Networks’ Scientific Council and researchers
Major Event (Highlighted Event)
IMDEA Networks Institute annually holds a by-invitation-only thematic workshop in Madrid. The workshop accompanies a meeting of our Scientific Council comprised of prominent researchers. In addition to talks by Scientific Council members and Faculty Members, the workshop includes a breakout session divided into three clusters: Networked Systems and Algorithms, Wireless Networking and Measurements, Privacy & Security. The workshop program aims to present participants’ recent research results, discuss and identify priorities and challenges for the research agenda, as well as explore new paths toward making future networks a true commodity for the needs of society.
Agenda (June 8th)
09:00 – 09:20 | Coffee, Doors open
09:20 – 09:30 | Opening remarks
Albert Banchs and Joerg Widmer, IMDEA Networks Institute (Spain)
09:30 – 10:15 | Modeling Service Mixes in Access Links [Keynote]
Marco Ajmone, Politecnico di Torino and IMDEA Networks Institute (Italy and Spain)
Abstract: Access links, both wired and wireless, carry the traffic generated by a mix of services, such as video, audio, web, gaming, etc. Some services generate traffic with a constant or almost constant data rate (for example a voice conversation or the live streaming of a sport event) while other services can adapt their data rate to the available network resources (for example a file transfer or a web page download).
The prediction of the performance that can be obtained in presence of mixes of traffic of different nature is important for the definition of access control and scheduling algorithms and has been tackled by several researchers, mostly resorting to approximations, because exact solutions are not available. This talk shows that a simple quasi-optimal admission control scheme allows the simple derivation of exact results that highlight interesting, unexpected behaviors.
10:15 – 11:00 | IMDEA Networks: vision for the future
Nikolaos Laoutaris, IMDEA Networks Institute (Spain)
11:00 – 12:00 | Scientific Posters Exhibit & Demo session (during the coffee break)
12:00 – 13:30 | Strategic Plenary Meeting
Presentations from IMDEA Networks faculty and Scientific Council members
13:30 – 15:00 | Lunch Break
15:00 – 15:45 | The Software-ization of Networking: Protocols, People, Pedagogy [Keynote]
Jim Kurose, Distinguished University Professor of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. USA.
Abstract: It has been said that “software is eating the world”. With the arrival of software-defined networking (SDN), software is “eating” networking as well. In this talk, we consider the impact of SDN on the evolution of network protocols, on network management and “people in the loop”, and how and what we will teach to future generations of networking students.
