2009 Winter Plan

1. School of Information and Mechatronics 2008.12.30 Dong-Hoon Yi (dhyi@nm.gist.ac.kr) 2009 Winter Plan

2. Status Review • 12th semester of Ph.D course • Publication • Int. Journal (1) / Int. Conf. (7) / Dom. Journal (2) / Dom. Conf. (7) / etc (3) • Graduation • Meet the Requirements (DQE, English, Pre-defense) except 1 int. journal paper • Thesis defense (expected date: May 2009) • Project • Future Internet (2nd year)

3. Research OverviewA multiple time-scale framework for the network bandwidth scheduling • Advent of Emerging Apps • Need Quality of Service • QoS Technologies • Actually linked with the bandwidth management problem and requires a careful design of control mechanisms so that they cover all time-scales • Cost-effective bandwidth management, • Need an integrated framework in which these mechanisms sophisticatedly co-operation with each other • Goal: design and develop a bandwidth management model for efficient utilization of a given network bandwidth and QoS guarantee in QoS-aware IP network • Design focus: high bandwidth utilization and QoS guarantee, Balanced optimization and scalability issues • Major components • [flow-level] Admission control - Bandwidth allocation per flow • [packet-level] Packet scheduling - Enforcing bandwidth allocation to individual flows • [mid-level] QoS routing - Balanced resource optimization

4. Research Plan • Thesis • A multiple time-scale framework for the network bandwidth scheduling • Flow-level bandwidth scheduling for AR/IR calls (service provider’s revenue) • Packet-level bandwidth scheduling for temporal performance guarantee (user’s satisfaction) • Initial draft (~Feb. 2009) • Complete literature reviews & analysis • Clarify the thesis contributions • Revision (~Mar.2009) • Paper submission • 2-tier hierarchical frame queueing • IEEE comm. letter (revision: 5th Jan., submission: 7th Jan.) • IEEE consumer electronics (draft: 10th Jan., submission: 15th Jan.) • Multiple time-scale framework for the network bandwidth scheduling • NOSSDAV‘09 (due: 9th Feb., draft: ~Jan.) • IEEE Globecom’09 (due: 15th Mar., draft: ~Feb.)

5. Project Overview • Future Internet Project • [Agenda] Future Internet Service Framework w/ QoE-aware Dynamic Service Composition • 2nd year • Seek to establish a service framework considering the heterogeneous comp./net. service components • Make a drawing which contains the basis of the framework design • 3rd year • Establish a context-aware immersive media service framework • Develop technologies to dynamically compose comp./net. resources by requirements and design a method for integration

6. Project Plan • Project report & plan • Wrap up 2nd year • Project report(internal due: ~Jan., draft: ~25th Jan.) • Prepare 3rd year • Project plan (internal due: ?, draft: ~Feb.) • Events & Etc • NetFPGA (http://www.netfpga.org/) • Open and reconfigurable hardware platform for gigabit network development • Enables researchers and students to build working prototypes of high-speed, hardware-accelerated networking systems. • Set up 2 machines (initial setup is finished, complete: ~5th Jan.) • Study and analysis the examples • FIWC 2009 (23rd ~ 24th Feb. 09) • NetFPGA Tutorial in Korea

7. Expected Output • Paper • Submissions (3) • 2 journal paper (IEEE CL, IEEE CE), 1 int. conference paper (NOSSDAV’09) • Draft (1) • 1 int. conference paper (IEEE Globecom’09) • Thesis • Initial draft (~Feb. 2009) • Project • 2nd& 3rd year project report & plan • Release the NetFPGA installation & operation manual
