Description:
Networks will have to support bigger and more diverse traffic volumes at low latency in the coming decades. They need to provide more predictable and reliable services as they are an important infrastructure of our society. This track asks which advances are needed to enable our network infrastructure to deal with this development and how to make an infrastructure’s capability accessible to applications and services. Future network infrastructure must be more flexible, on many different levels, layers and elements of the network architecture. An important property is the proper integration of multiple network domains - from the Internet at large over mobile/cellular networks to data-center networks. Flexibility and infrastructure advancements are needed at different levels of the network architecture, from switching hardware over softwarizing networks up to resource management aspects like slicing. The track also looks at how some aspects of computing can be brought into the network in a flexible and programmatic way, and to have the network be more responsive to specific workloads. It also encompasses research and development on different aspects, like management, governance or policing of networks, up to legal, policy-making and ethical aspects.
