20th ITC Specialist Seminar on NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION – Concepts and Performance Aspects

http://www.itcspecialistseminar.com/itcss20/ 18.-20. Mai 2009 Swiss-Belhotel Golden Sand Resort, Hoi An, Viet Nam **********************************************************************************

AIMS AND TOPICS Network virtualization is the technology that allows the simultaneous operation of multiple logical networks (also known as overlays) on a single physical platform. Network virtualization permits distributed participants to create almost instantly their own network with application-specific naming, routing, and resource management mechanisms. For instance, server virtualization enables users to use parts of a computing center as their own personal computer. Recently, network virtualization received tremendous attention since it is expected to be one of the major paradigms for the future Internet as proposed by numerous international initiatives on future networks, e.g. PlanetLab (USA, International), GENI (USA), AKARI (JAPAN), OneLab2 (Europe), and G-Lab (Germany).

A major objective of this ITC Specialist Seminar is to early identify future performance issues and to provide methodologies and mechanisms to address the various performance problems in network virtualization. The seminar is intended as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their latest experiences and research results. It will address techniques, architectures, performance models, and performance engineering methods leading to real world network virtualization solutions that provide users with efficient techniques for creating and operating their own high performance virtual network.

Topics of interest are amongst others, but not limited to: o Performance issues of virtualization techniques on routers and end hosts o Performance issues of bandwidth and resource virtualization techniques o Performance issues of overlays for future network architectures o Performance of virtualized transport mechanisms o Performance of virtualized services and virtualized applications o Virtual test labs and network federation

KEYNOTES AND INVITED TALKS The organizers of the seminar are proud to announce the following keynote and invited speakes:

o Keynote: Prof. H. Kobayashi (Sherman Fairchild University Professor Erimitus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and former Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), Princeton University, USA) o Invited Talk: Prof. A.
