The Internet faces a fundamental resource shortage problem: We have run out of freely available IPv4 address space. Today, four out of five of the registries serving the global demand for IPv4 address space have exhausted their address reserves. Networks in need of IPv4 address space can no longer get more address allocations from their respective registries.

5TONIC, together with IMDEA Networks, OpenDayLight, University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and Telefonica is proud to announce the Workshop on OpenDayLight and NFV/SDN Orchestration, which will be held at UC3M on October 19th. The workshop is sponsored by the Linux Foundation.

The open research and innovation laboratory 5TONIC participates in the South Summit 2016, which takes place on October 5-7, 2016, in Madrid (Spain).

A demonstration of technological advances made by the project 5G-Crosshaul will be made to Telefonica officials on October 4th, 2016, at IMDEA Networks Institute.

In today's professional sports, what is science and what is effort? Is the athlete born or made? And what about the scientist?

Everyone is familiar with the problem of online scheduling, even if they are not aware of it; from the way we prioritize our everyday decisions to the way a delivery service must decide on the route to follow in order to cover the ongoing requests. In computer science this is a problem of even greater importance.

Top-level speakers will present at this event the future of 5G communications technology, as well as the challenges and opportunities that 5G will represent for multiple relevant sectors of economic activity. Large multinational companies are already positioning themselves to mitigate threats and seize opportunities originated by 5G in the medium term.

The Internet routing ecosystem is facing substantial scalability challenges due to continuous, significant growth of the state represented in the data plane.

With rapid development of networks and their proliferated applications, energy consumption of the networks has been a major concern for both network design, management, and applications. Routing protocols and algorithms have important effect on network energy consumption.

The lack of predictive power over complex systems either designed by humans or evolved by nature, is a foundational problem in contemporary science. Real networks such as the Internet, the Web, social and biological networks, have acquired emergent large-scale properties that are beyond our full understanding, much less prediction or control. Astonishingly, these emergent properties are the same across networks from drastically different domains, and are the ones required to facilitate the optimality of some important network functions, such as information transport.
