Results of the SURFnet4 management project 1997
This technical report bundles the five reports that were written for two SURFnet4 projects in 1997. Each report discusses a different research aspect of the SURFnet4 ATM network. The topics are 1) the Architecture of a ATM PVC Management Tool, 2) Reporting on the Use of the ATM Network, 3) SVCs in a Production Environment, 4) Quality of Service Measures, 5) Operation and Maintenance (OAM)
Updated taxonomy for the network and service management research field
Network and service management is an established research field within the general area of computer networks. A few years ago, an initial taxonomy, organizing a comprehensive list of terms and topics, was established through interviews with experts from both industry and academia. This taxonomy has since been used to better partition standardization efforts, identify classes of managed objects and improve the assignment of reviewers to papers submitted in the field. Because the field of network and service management is rapidly evolving, a biyearly update of the taxonomy was proposed. In this paper, a large-scale questionnaire is presented which was answered by experts in the field, evaluating the relevance of each individual topic for the next five years. Missing topics, which are likely to become relevant over the next few years, are identified as well. Furthermore, an analysis is performed of the records of papers submitted to major conferences in the area. Based on the obtained results, an updated version of the taxonomy is proposed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Internet Services:Management Beyond the Element - A Report on DSOM'2001
The report from Annual International Workshop on 'Distributed Systems: Operations and Management' is presented. The theme of workshop was 'Internet services: management beyond the element' which reflected the shift within current Internet from managing isolated network elements to managing integrated end-to-end services. The topics discussed at workshop included service provisioning, application management, customer care, QoS management, policy languages and IP applications. The tutorial on 'JMX in Java & Management Environments' described status of JMX and possible ways to integrate JMX in JAVA environment
5GAuRA. D3.3: RAN Analytics Mechanisms and Performance Benchmarking of Video, Time Critical, and Social Applications
5GAuRA deliverable D3.3.This is the final deliverable of Work Package 3 (WP3) of the 5GAuRA project, providing a report on the project’s developments on the topics of Radio Access Network (RAN) analytics and application performance benchmarking. The focus of this deliverable is to extend and deepen the methods and results provided in the 5GAuRA deliverable D3.2 in the context of specific use scenarios of video, time critical, and social applications. In this respect, four major topics of WP3 of 5GAuRA – namely edge-cloud enhanced RAN architecture, machine learning assisted Random Access Channel (RACH) approach, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) content caching, and active queue management – are put forward.
Specifically, this document provides a detailed discussion on the service level agreement between tenant and service provider in the context of network slicing in Fifth Generation (5G) communication networks. Network slicing is considered as a key
enabler to 5G communication system. Legacy telecommunication networks have been providing various services to all kinds of customers through a single network infrastructure. In contrast, by deploying network slicing, operators are now able to
partition one network into individual slices, each with its own configuration and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. There are many applications across industry that open new business opportunities with new business models. Every application instance requires an independent slice with its own network functions and features, whereby every single slice needs an individual Service Level Agreement (SLA). In D3.3, we propose a comprehensive end-to-end structure of SLA between the tenant and the service provider of sliced 5G network, which balances the interests of both sides. The proposed SLA defines reliability, availability, and performance of delivered telecommunication services in order to ensure that right information is delivered to the right destination at right time, safely and securely. We also discuss the metrics of slicebased network SLA such as throughput, penalty, cost, revenue, profit, and QoS related metrics, which are, in the view of 5GAuRA, critical features of the agreement.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Report on the 4th International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructures, Management, and Security (AIMS 2010) and the International Summer School on Network and Service Management (ISSNSM 2010)
This article contains the report on AIMS 2010, which was held June 23-25, 2010 at the Department of Informatics (IFI), University of Zürich, Switzerland and which was driven by the theme "Mechanisms for Autonomous Management of Networks and Services”. Furthermore, the report also synopsizes ISSNSM 2010, which was run June 21-23, 2010 at the same location and which offered a practical summer school on selected topics in network and service managemen
A Systematic Literature Review on Task Allocation and Performance Management Techniques in Cloud Data Center
As cloud computing usage grows, cloud data centers play an increasingly
important role. To maximize resource utilization, ensure service quality, and
enhance system performance, it is crucial to allocate tasks and manage
performance effectively. The purpose of this study is to provide an extensive
analysis of task allocation and performance management techniques employed in
cloud data centers. The aim is to systematically categorize and organize
previous research by identifying the cloud computing methodologies, categories,
and gaps. A literature review was conducted, which included the analysis of 463
task allocations and 480 performance management papers. The review revealed
three task allocation research topics and seven performance management methods.
Task allocation research areas are resource allocation, load-Balancing, and
scheduling. Performance management includes monitoring and control, power and
energy management, resource utilization optimization, quality of service
management, fault management, virtual machine management, and network
management. The study proposes new techniques to enhance cloud computing work
allocation and performance management. Short-comings in each approach can guide
future research. The research's findings on cloud data center task allocation
and performance management can assist academics, practitioners, and cloud
service providers in optimizing their systems for dependability,
cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Innovative methodologies can steer future
research to fill gaps in the literature
Service-Driven Networking
This thesis presents our research on service-driven networking, which is a general design framework for service quality assurance and integrated network and service management in
large scale multi-domain networks. The philosophy is to facilitate bi-party open participation among the users and the
providers of network services in order to bring about better service customization and quality assurance, without sacrificing the autonomy and objectives of the individual
entities. Three primary research topics are documented: service composition and adaptation, self-stabilization in uncoordinated environment, and service quality modeling. The work involves
theoretical analysis, algorithm design, and simulations as evaluation methodology
