Applications Breakout Report

This report explores a few applications that are compelling to a general audience and the networking research challenges they induce. It details the brainstorming process, the selection of focus applications, and the mapping of applications to research topics. The report also highlights the "Big Three" applications, their associated challenges, and their relation to other breakout sessions on Network Science and Grand Challenges.

  1. Applications Breakout Report

  2. The Process • Our charter was to identify • a few applications that are compelling to a general audience • the networking research challenges they induce • Step 1: brainstorming from “above” and “below” • above: long list of applications • below: long list of research topics • Step 2: pick a set of applications on which to focus • each member voted for their favorites • top three vote-getters form our candidate set • Step 3: (not yet complete) • map from applications to research topics

  3. The Big Three • Immersive, interactive telepresence • “See Jim. See Jim hit a home run.” • educational support, both local and remote • support personal/collective memories • Large-scale environment sensing/actuation • Mississippi River watershed monitoring/flood control • coordination of the energy grid: generator to appliance • fine-grain in-building measurement of seismic events • Emergency/Disaster response • fixed infrastructure crippled/overwhelmed/destroyed • many agencies must collaborate and react efficiently

  4. (Hopefully) Induced Challenges: • User-focused • the “*ilities”: availability, reliability, predictability • security, privacy, anonymity • efficient, effective resource usage • high utilization with good end-user performance • power efficiency • Network-focused • much larger scale: clients, traffic, … • increasing heterogeneity • efficient deployment of physical resources (sharing wires) • manageability: diagnosis, repair, zero-configuration • survivability and graceful degradation • exploit storage and processing resources • power efficiency

  5. Relation to the other breakout sessions • Network Science: • critical underpinnings for nearly all of our induced challenges • availability, reliability, predictability • efficient, effective resource usage • scaling up/coping with heterogeneity/complexity • stability in control/repair/reconfiguration • Grand Challenges: • their two soundbites are included by our applications • many of our challenges appear on their list
