Talk 1: Network Big Data Analysis for Next-Generation High-Performance Internet

Abstract:

Research and development of Next-Generation Internet (NGI) have become a global endeavour. With an overwhelming amount of data pouring into the Internet, network domains are embracing an unprecedented wave of traffic flows and are stepping into the era of network big data. Network big data has been widely considered as a double-edged sword of NGI. On one hand, transmission of high-volume and high-speed big data pose grand challenges. On the other hand, the knowledge discovered from content-rich big data can be used to improve the design and operation of NGI.

In this talk, we will present state-of-the-art network architecture for next-generation high-performance Internet coupled with the emerging technologies, such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) that have attracted significant attention in the networking and telecommunication community. To achieve high performance and high availability of NGI, our vision is to conduct efficient data analysis in order to dig valuable insights and knowledge hidden in network big data for improving the design, operation, and management of NGI. We will present the innovative big data processing technologies, real-time incremental data analysis tools, and cost-effective distributed platform we have recently developed to support better decision-making for network design, anomaly detection, fault localization, resource management and optimization. This talk offers the theoretical underpinning for efficient processing of big data, and also opens up a new horizon of research and development by exploiting the key intelligence and insights hidden in rich network big data for the design and improvement of NGI.

Talk 2: Mobile Edge Computing for Internet of Things

Abstract:

In this talk, we will first present the key concepts and architectures related to edge computing in the era of Internet of Things (IoT). Then, we mainly focus on edge computing for 5G and Internet of Vehicles. In such contexts, we will present our recent studies related to delay-constrained offloading, predictive offloading, and energy-efficient offloading schemes.
