19th NMRG Meeting in Stockholm (Sweden)
The 19th NMRG meeting will be held in Stockholm (Sweden) on
January 12-13 2006. The meeting will start at 09:00. The chair of
this meeting is Jürgen
Schönwälder. The local host of this meeting is KTH. Our contact is Rolf Stadler. The NMRG
meeting will be sponsored by the European Network of Excellence
for the Management of Internet Technologies and Complex Services
(EMANICS) which is funded
through the IST program of the European Union.
Scope
The 19th meeting of the Network Management Research Group (NMRG)
of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) will focus on two
topics:
- Promise Theory (organized by Mark Burgess)
A paper presented at DSOM 2005 introduced a model where nodes in
a network cooperate based on promises they make to other
nodes. Nodes are considered to be highly autonomous in their
decisions but they might promise a certain behavior to others
and take benefits of the promises made by other nodes. This
model leads to a different view at policies. For the details,
see Mark Burgess' DSOM 2005 paper.
- New Approaches to Distributed Management (organized by Rolf Stadler)
The need for network management in large-scale and dynamic
network environments calls for solutions beyond traditional
management paradigms. Approaches based on network programming,
management overlays, p2p computing, as well as distributed
aggregation and control schemes, have been recently proposed to
engineer management systems that scale beyond 1000s of nodes and
are robust regarding topology changes and failures. The second
day of the workshop will explore this issue further, investigate
whether there are any management-specific building blocks
missing, and how massively distributed approaches relate to
conventional ones developed in the past. The workshop will
include presentations and demonstrations by the management
research group at KTH.
The workshop format will be short prepared presentations (15-20
minutes) followed by extensive discussion. The presentations will
introduce and survey technologies which are under development and
which focus on one of the topics listed above.
Minutes will be taken during the workshop. Some authors/editors
will be selected who volunteer to work towards an RFC or some
other suitable publication after the workshop which summarizes the
state of the art and any insights gained during the workshop.
All interested parties are invited to join the workshop. However,
the number of attendees will be limited due to the limited space
available and to achieve a productive workshop atmosphere. In case
of over subscription, preference will be given to people who are
willing to prepare a presentation and to lead a discussion. The
list of accepted presentations will be posted on the NMRG meeting
web page which will be updated regularly and also contains
information about the logistics.
