** CALL FOR PAPERS **
JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable Networks
Manuscript due March 30, 2005
------------------------------------------------------------
Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data to reside within network packets such that injected code can modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high- speed routers or software radio methods in wireless networks). This raises fundamental management issues regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and computation, configuration, fault, security, performance, and accounting management.
AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however, they add another level of complexity to active and programmable network management. The relationship between computation and communication can be addressed by concepts from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov- Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form an ideal environment in which to study the effects of tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information representation. Active code can contain either the protocol or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other divisions of code and state are possible between packets (e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable data-plane code).
------------------------------------------------------------
This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management will consider topics associated with the management of active and programmable networks. Submissions will span a broad range of topics, e.g.:
* Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work in algorithmic information theory and applications to the health, management, and security of an active or programmable network
* Fundamental relationships between computation and communication applied to active or programmable networks; relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control access of information, system vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable network
* Self-organization and composition of active network services; self-configuration of active or programmable networks
* Case studies involving the management of dynamic adaptation and performance enabled by active networks
* Active or programmable networks used to manage and control mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks
* Active or programmable network management of QoS: controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link quality
* Management of active packets in constrained devices such as sensors
* Active and programmable network management techniques applied to link and physical layer network components e.g. software radio waveforms
* Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable mechanisms
