WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL 2012 - Keynote 5: Toshitaka Tsuda
 ICT paradigm shift and technology challenges
From the experience of the huge disaster attacked Japan last year, we again reminded the basic requirements to the network as a social infrastructure. Responding to these requirements, we started implementing the necessary functions to the network. At the same time, the network should evolve to the infrastructure which can support the possible new ICT paradigm.
Fujitsu set force the ICT paradigm named “Human Centric Intelligent Society(HCIT)” as a target, and tailoring the R&D activities toward this direction. Key messages are “Care for people, with ICT to support problem solving in our lives. Changes in ICT provision, to a more user friendly, fun and enjoyable experience.”. Technologically, HCIS will offer ubiquitous and context aware services, and also provide with useful knowledge for each user by big data analysis, then making the system dependable. The idea in not new, but there is a big difference in environment. We have key enablers available to realize the HCIS paradigm. Those are the cloud computing, the broadband wireless communication networks, the mobile terminals, and the knowledge management technologies. Progress towards the new paradigm is already started utilizing these enablers, but with the progress advances new requirements to the network and technology challenges are becoming visible. The bandwidth requirement keeps growing, the traffic mix will drastically change, the variety of networks and terminals will increase, and the function assignment and total management of IT system and networks will change. Especially, there are big challenges in network operation and management.
In my talk, I will start with the lessons we learned from the huge disaster. Then, the new paradigm HCIS will be introduced with review of the current example of enabler technologies. The network technology challenges will be pointed out with our related R&D status. Finally, network management challenges will be shown.

THURSDAY 19 APRIL 2012 - Keynote 6: Dave Belanger
 It’s About the Data: A Decade+ Experiment in “Big Data”
Over the last decade, we at AT&T Shannon Labs have developed a broad and deep capability to manipulate, analyze, and visualize large amounts of data. What is now typically referred to as “Big Data”. It has been done in a laboratory, AT&T InfoLab, with live, real time data. Many, though by no means all, of the applications of this data are to Network Operations and Management. The data, and associated business problems, both inform the technology created, and support value through many applications.
Recent topics of focus have included: real time data mining, data stream management, interactive visualization, data mining of non-relational data (e.g. speech), and mining of data from distributed sensor networks, with applications ranging from customer experience, recommender systems to medical monitoring/prediction.
This discussion will highlight a number of the approaches to maximize the value of data, as well as highlighting trends in this area.
Dave Belanger is responsible for identifying pre-product technology important to the future of AT&T, evaluating technology, building alignment within AT&T on technology directions, and serving as AT&T liaison to external technical communities, specifically universities, government agencies, and industry laboratories.
His particular focus is in leading research in large-scale and real-time information mining related to operations of a (communications) service business; interactive, information visualization; scalable, reliable software systems; and new, information-based, communications services. It is also responsible for delivery and operations of very large-scale (e.g. >300TB), near real-time service management capabilities to AT&T and its customers. Dave joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1979 working in the area of database support for economic analysis for product lifecycles, later researching large-scale data and information systems, and program generation for data manipulation systems. He has subsequently led research efforts in software systems and engineering, and information mining, and visualization.
THURSDAY 19 APRIL 2012 - Keynote 7: Morris Sloman
 The Many Faces of Policy Based Management
Policy based management has been promoted as a means of supporting adaptive management for nearly 20 years. There have been standards proposed by IETF, DMTF and TMN but they have not really been widely adopted. This paper will look back at security and management policy specification based on access control and event-condition-action rules, indicating what the issues arise from these traditional policy specification techniques how they have evolved to deal with large scale systems; systems which manage people as well as automated components and using higher level techniques such as utility functions. Many researchers have resorted to Logic-based formalisms for analysis and refinement of policies. We will briefly examine learning policies from monitoring user behavior, rather than explicitly specifying them. The presentation will summarise the applicability of these many different faces of policy based management.
