Tutorial #1 Control Theory and Its Application to Network and Systems Management (VERANY 1 Room)
Instructor Dr. Joseph Hellerstein, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, New York, USA

Abstract

Feedback control is central to network and systems management. It is employed to achieve service level objectives for metrics such as response times by taking resource actions (e.g., scheduling priorities and bandwidth allocations). Feedback is also used to optimize resource allocations for a workload mix.

While computing systems in general and network management in particular make broad use of feedback control, this has traditionally been done in an ad hoc manner. In contrast, mechanical, electrical, and other areas of engineering design systems using control theory, a well developed and systematic approach to the analysis and design of feedback systems. Control theory provides a way to determine if feedback loops are stable (e.g., avoid wild oscillations), accurate in their control (e.g., achieve the right resource allocation policies), and settle quickly to their steady state values (e.g., to adjust to workload dynamics). Unfortunately, existing books on control theory are not well suited to computer scientists both because of the examples (e.g., eletrical circuits, dash pots) and the emphasize on continuous time instead of discrete time systems.
This tutorial provides an introduction to control theory for computer scientists that is sufficient to do basic control analysis and design. The presentation is divided into three parts: elements of control theory, control analysis and design, and real world applications.
Elements of control theory is an introduction to key concepts. Included here are control goals (e.g., regulation, optimization, disturbance rejection); the control architecture (with examples from the Apache web server and the IBM Lotus Domino Server); and control objectives.
Control analysis and design has three subparts. The first provides an intuitive description of the z-transform that is sufficient for analyzing many control systems. Next, these concepts are applied to a spreadsheet model of the Lotus Domino Server and to results from a testbed of a production server. In the third section, basic controllers are discussed and various applications are explored.
The third part of the tutorial presents two applications of control theory to the IBM DB2 Universal Database Server. The first application regulates the impact on production work of high-overhead, long-running database utilities such as BACKUP, RESTORE, and REBALANCE. The second application of control theory is to automate the management of database memory pools.
The tutorial is intended for systems oriented computer practitioners with little experience withmathematical modeling. The only background assume is knowledge of the geometric series.

Tutorial #4 Autonomic Networking - Theory and Practice (VERANY 1 Room)
Instructor John Strassner, Motorola Lab, USA

Abstract

A new genre of management applications is required to accommodate current and future uses of network services. The key to solving this problem is to realize that currently, network operation is divorced from how the business operates, and that current approaches don’t address this problem. This tutorial will examine how autonomic computing in general and autonomic networks in particular can be used to solve this problem. The foundation for this tutorial lies in work done in the TeleManagement Forum’s NGOSS program (particularly its Shared Information and Data model and its notion of contract-defined interfaces), along with current research in autonomic computing. After providing a brief primer on autonomic computing, this tutorial will concentrate on new research that focuses on implementing an autonomic network – an area that has been overlooked in current research. New enhancements on the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture initiative will be described that enable code to be generated from formal models. This will be supplemented with work on holistically combining process and policy management, and implementing this in a distributed service-oriented architecture. Real-life examples will be used to reinforce the contents of thistutorial. These principles are also applicable to Ubiquitous Networks.

Tutorial #5 Managing Network Security Policies: Firewall and IPSec/VPN (VERANY 2 Room)
Instructor Prof. Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul University, USA

Abstract

The importance of network security has been significantly increasing in the past few years. However, the increasing complexity of managing security polices particularly in enterprise networks poses real challenge for efficient security solutions. Network security perimeters such as Firewalls, IPSec gateways, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems operate based on locally configured policies. Yet these policies are not necessarily autonomous and might interact between each other to construct a global network security policy.
In fact, security policies are configured not only in manual and ad hoc manner, but in isolation from each other due to different administrative roles or personnel. As a result, rules conflicts and policy inconsistency are very likely to exits, leading to serious security breach and network vulnerability. In addition, enterprise networks continuously grow in size and complexity, which makes policy modification, inspection and evaluation nightmare. Addressing these issues is a key requirement for obtaining provable security and seamless policy configuration.

In this tutorial, we present techniques to develop automated management tools for security policies particularly firewall and IPSec/VPN polices. The tutorial presents a comprehensive classification of policy anomalies or conflicts in a single device or across multiple devices. Special focus is given to modeling and verification of filtering-base security polices. The tutorial will also covers techniques and tools used to automatically discover and rectify policy anomalies in centralized and distributed security devices such as firewalls and IPSec gateways.

Tutorial #6 Management of Wireless Sensor Networks (VERANY 3 Room)
Instructor Prof. Antonio A.F. Loureiro, Linnyer Beatriz Ruiz
Jose Marcos Nogueira, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing sophistication of monitoring and control systems with multiple sensors has generated a great deal of interest in development of wireless sensors. Advances in sensor technology make it possible to design very compact and autonomous sensor nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and wireless communications capabilities, and limited power supply. Some of the applications foreseen to sensor monitoring will require a large number of devices in the order of tens of thousands nodes. Traditional methods of sensor networking represent an impractical demand on cable installation, maintenance, and cost.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are becoming an increasingly technology that will be used in a variety of applications such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure management, public safety, medical, home and office security, transportation, and military. WSNs will also play a key role in pervasive computing where computing devices and people are connected to the Internet. However, until now, WSNs and their applications have been developed without considering a integrated management solution.

The task of building and deploying autonomic management systems, in environments where there will be tens of thousand of network elements with particular features and organization, is very complex. This task becomes worse due to the physical restrictions of the sensor nodes, in particular energy and bandwidth restrictions. The management application to be build also depends on the kind of application being monitored.

This tutorial will present a perspective on emerging wireless sensor management, covering management issues and technologies, network management architectures, and opportunities. Traditional management and the differences of the sensor networks management are described, and a new management dimension is introduced. Management architectures for sensor network and information models are outlined, with emphasis on the MANNA architecture.

Until now, WSNs and their applications and services have been developed without considering a management solution. This may not be a problem for small networks but will definitely be when applications, in order to work properly, will need to reconfigure and adapt themselves based on profiles and information scattered over the network.

Management of WSNs is a new research area that only recently started to receive attention from the research community.

Tutorial #7 MPLS Operations and Management (VERANY 1 Room)
Instructor Thomas Nadeau Cisco Systems, USA
Monique J. Morrow, Cisco Systems, Switzerland

Abstract

This tutorial will present the ins and outs of the state of the art in MPLS Operations and Management. Areas of interest include detailed presentations of standards work going on at the IETF, ITU, IEEE, MEF and the MPLS-FrameRelay Alliance. The tutorial is broken into several components. First, we will explore tools available to monitoring and trouble-shooting the data plane. Tools in this area include LSP Ping LSP Traceroute, VCCV, BFD, among others. Next, we will present tools and techniques available to trouble-shoot and diagnose the MPLS control plane. The third area covered is the management plane. In this area, we discuss the management interfaces to these various tools and some techniques that management systems can use to manage each of the tools presented earlier. Finally, we present why it is important and critical to combine the information provided by tools used to diagnose the data and control planes to provide the user with a complete picture of MPLS network health, and how the combination of this information can not only be automated and displayed via the management plane, but also how devices may employ this information internally to more quickly repair the defect, thereby providing a certain degree of self-healing capability.

Tutorial #8 Planning, Management and Auto-Tuning Techniques for UMTS and Heterogeneous Radio Access Networks (VERANY 2 Room)
Instructor Dr. Zwi Altman and Dr. Peter Stuckmann, France Telecom R&D, France

Abstract

The introduction and evolution of third-generation (3G) mobile radio systems leads to a highly complex and heterogeneous radio access network landscape. Network management will become crucial to guarantee optimum cooperation between network sub-systems. The quality of service provided by these networks and their profitability is intimately related to the ability of the operator to parameterize these networks and optimally utilize the available radio resources. This tutorial aims at presenting a comprehensive overview of UMTS network parameterization in a multi-system context using both automatic cell planning and auto-tuning strategies. The following items will be discussed in detail:

Strategies for automatic design and cell planning: Cell planning consists in optimizing network performance by adjusting antenna parameters and common channel powers. Automatic cell planning has been utilized for both GSM and UMTS network, and has a particular success in the latter case due to the lack of frequency planning in UMTS networks. A high quality Automatic Cell Planner (ACP) can typically lead to a capacity increase of 30 to 40 percent. This improvement is accompanied by the reduction of interference and improvement in quality of service offered to the end user. Four major automatic cell planning strategies will be presented: quality and capacity, capacity and coverage, steered optimization and optimization in a multi-system context.

Auto-tuning of Radio Resource Management (RRM) parameters: The migration from manual to automatic cell planning in cellular systems has induced a significant quality enhancement and deployment cost reduction. Similar gains are expected from the automation of parts of the operation of a mobile radio network. This expectation is especially justified in complex systems like UMTS or even heterogeneous access networks. Auto-tuning aims at improving network performance and adapting it to traffic variations by dynamically adjusting RRM parameters such as load target threshold and add- and drop-macrodiversity windows. First, the implementation of the auto-tuning process of UMTS networks using fuzzy logic controllers will be presented for both admission control and mobility management. Then, the extension of the auto-tuning to a multi-system context will be described. Current European research activities in the area covering automatic network management techniques like monitoring, self-diagnosis, optimization and parameterization will be presented.

Tutorial #10 Integrated Management of Denial-of-Service Attacks (VERANY 1 Room)
Instructor Michael H. Behringer, Cisco Systems, France

Abstract

Denial-of-service attacks have become a permanent issue on service provider networks. Over the last years network operators have had to adjust their operations to cover these new attack forms. This includes the management of the routers and the network, as well as operational procedures to communicate security issues to other providers, customers and third parties.


This tutorial gives an introduction on how DoS attacks affect an Internet network, and how they can be managed. It includes an overview of the threats, methods to detect and classify an attack, as well as mitigation techniques. Whilst many techniques presented can be executed directly on network devices, an efficient network management is required to scale operations to large networks and high number of attacks. This includes efficient communications methods for security incidents, as well as operational procedures to successfully mitigate the attacks.
Finally, the mitigation of DoS attacks is being introduced in many service provider networks as a managed service. We will outline here management issues to this approach, and how to secure this service.

Tutorial #11 Traffic Engineering and Quality of Service Management for IP-based Next Generation Networks (VERANY 2 Room)
Instructor Prof. George Pavlou, University of Surrey, UK

Abstract

Next Generation IP-based Networks will offer Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees by deploying technologies such as Differentiated Services (DiffServ) and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for traffic engineering and network-wide resource management. Despite the progress already made, a number of issues still exist regarding edge-to-edge intra-domain and inter-domain QoS provisioning and management. This tutorial will start by providing background on technologies such as DiffServ, MPLS and their potential combination for QoS support.

It will subsequently introduce trends in Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Service Level Specifications (SLSs) for the subscription to QoS-based services It will then move to examine architectures and frameworks for the management and control of QoS-enabled networks, including the following aspects: approaches and algorithms for off-line traffic engineering and provisioning through explicit MPLS paths or through hop-by-hop IP routing; approaches for dynamic resource management to deal with traffic fluctuations outside the predicted envelope; a service management framework supporting a “resource provisioning cycle”; the derivation of expected traffic demand from subscribed SLSs and approaches for SLS invocation admission control; a monitoring architecture for scalable information collection supporting traffic engineering and service management; and realization issues given the current state-of-the-art of management protocols and monitoring support. The tutorial will also include coverage of emerging work towards inter-domain QoS provisioning, including aspects such as: an inter-domain business model; customer and peer provider SLSs; an architecture for the management and control of inter-domain services; inter-domain off-line traffic engineering; and QoS extensions to BGP for dynamic traffic engineering. In all these areas, recent research work will be presented, with pointers to bibliography and a specially tailored Web page with additional resources.

Tutorial #12 Grid Computing: Fundamentals and Management Challenges (VERANY 3 Room)
Instructors Prof. Heinz-Gerd Hegering, Leibniz Supercomputing Center, Germany
Prof. Gabi Dreo Rodosek, University of Federal Armed Forces

Abstract

Grid computing enables the virtualization of both distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a single system image to allow users seamless access to IT resources not necessarily belonging to their own organization. The virtualization of organizations and resources as well as the cooperative usage of virtual resources are one of the key challenges of grid computing. The tutorial starts with a comprehensive overview of grid computing and outlines the fundamentals of grid environments. The characteristics of grid resources and services, virtual organizations as well as the grid networks and middleware are described. Furthermore, existing approaches like the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) and WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework) are reviewed. Finally, we explore the efforts that are underway in the Global Grid Forum and in the Globus Alliance. Initiatives such as the EGEE, NSF, D-Grid (the German Grid project) are addressed as well.

The second part of the tutorial concentrates on the management challenges implied by both the virtualization of resources and organizations and the cooperative usage of such resources. We address topics such as the description of (virtual) resources and services, the management of virtual organizations, the specification of SLAs for grid services, and grid management questions related to FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security). Essentials of grid computing such as grid resource management and security issues are addressed in particular.

Panels

Panel #1 Is Policy-Based Management Possible?
Leader Joe Hellerstein, IBM Research, USA
Panelists Seraphin Calo, IBM Research, USA
Morris Sloman, Imperial College, London
Mark Burgess, Oslo University, Norway

Abstract

Policy-based management has been an area of intense interest for the last decade. The community is very active with an annual workshop and various standards efforts. While the ideal of policy-based management is a declarative approach in which the system takes actions to achieve policy-specified goals under policy-specified constraints, what is implemented in practice is much more limited. This panel will address the following issues: (1) To what extent is a declarative approach to policy possible? (2) What other kinds of policies should be considered? (3) What kind of policy standards are meaningful, especially contrasting syntactic and semantic approaches? (4) How can policies be acquired and maintained in practice? (5) How are the GRID, pervasive wireless computing and other technologies are shaping the field? (6) Are there alternatives to policy-based management?

Panel #2 Service Level Agreement - How to reach the practical Agreement, not Announcement
Leader Masayoshi Ejiri, Fujitsu, Japan
Panelists Lundy Lewis : Southern New Hampshire Univ. USA
Dave Milham : BT Exact UK
Isami Nakajima : NTT Service Integration Labs. Japan
Frank Birch : Fujitsu Labs. Europe, UK

Abstract

SLA is becoming crucial in competitive ICT environment as one of key differentiations and in future demand where customer participated/centric operations are essential. SLA should be reached through the negotiation between customers and service providers. However current discussion of SLA is too much focused on QoS related features, most of them are not familiar with end users and also customers are forced to accept/select SLAs which are defined /announced by service providers . In the Panel, the following issues will be discussed, (1) What is " Services"? Operations services are becoming more important. (2) Level" should be defined by qualitative/quantitative way ? (3) SLA features should be customer perceptible/visible features and QoS should be translated by customer language. (4) Mechanism to reach "Agreement " by customers/service providers negotiation. (5) SLA negotiation process in service providers business processes.

 

Panel #3 Should we share Honeypot information for Security Management?
Leader Felix Wu, Univesity California Davis, USA
Panelists Marc Dacier, Eurecom, France
Herve Debar, France Telecom, France
Yao-Min Chen, Watchguard, USA

Abstract

It is quite sensitive to share security information even for the purpose of security management across different administrative domains. On the other hand, for certain large-scale Internet-wide cyber attacks, sharing such information might greatly help others to develop the right preventive solution in time. In this panel, we will focus on sharing data being collected by the "honeypot", a virtual information playground that should only attract malicious/suspicious Internet users. Following opics will be addressed:

(1). What information can be collected by Honeypots?
(2). How will the Honeypot information be useful for others in management?
(3). What are the concerns in sharing them?
