IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications
29 April - 2 May 2019 // Paris, France

Workshop on Intelligent Cloud Computing and Networking - Program

The First International Workshop on Intelligent Cloud Computing and Networking  
(ICCN 2019)

Monday, 29 April, 2019 ● 8:55 – 18:00 ● Room: Scene D

Cloud computing, as well as Cloud-inspired business models, enables on-demand access to a shared pool of resources, namely computing, storage, networks, services, and applications. With the advent of Cloud-based systems, cloud operators have been aiming at reliable, secured, privacy-preserving and cost-efficient cloud design and management. As the Cloud infrastructure aims at offering various IT resources as services, requirements of Cloud applications vary based on the resources which are requested as services. Thus, the resources may refer to heavy computation resources, massive storage resources, and high-capacity network resources and so on. The heterogeneity of cloud applications leads to the challenge of holistic design of a robust Cloud system which can oversee and handle the diverse needs of numerous types of applications. On the other hand, these challenges enforce cooperation of various players in the Cloud system, each of which focuses on a different segment such as computing, network, applications, and systems. 

The First International Workshop on Intelligent Cloud Computing and Networking (ICCN-2019) is the evolution of the previous 7 editions CCSNA (Cloud Computing Systems, Networks, and Applications) workshop, starting in IEEE Globecom 2013. It aims at the crossroads between scientists, researchers, practitioners and students from diverse domains in Cloud computing research. The Workshop aims at attracting contributions of system and network design that can support existing and future applications and services.

Collaborative Edge Computing for Scalable Connectivity and Distributed Intelligence

Abstract:
In the past decade, applications of Internet of Things (IoT) such as Smart Home, Smart Cities, Smart Healthcare etc. have been deployed where the devices in our surroundings are interconnected to provide better services and comfort to humans. More recently, we witness the emerging applications in industrial internet, supply chains and other areas where the scale of the systems, the number of devices and data being generated continuously increases. It will be at very high cost to send all the data to a centralized server, as done in cloud computing, for processing and decision-making. Therefore, recent trend is to move the computation tasks from centralized cloud to edge devices which are closer to data sources. In this talk, I will describe Edge, an infrastructure for collaborative edge computing, where the intelligence and decision-making are pushed to the edge of and within the network closer to the sources of data, EdgeMesh lets the edge devices share the data and collaborate on the computation tasks. It also facilitates higher scalability and reliability with flexible and dynamic system reconfiguration.

Automated Management of Softwarized and Virtualized Network Functions

Abstract:
Online management of large-scale cloud and virtualized resources poses many challenges and opportunities. As emerging network appliances, such as firewalls, loadbalancing, QoS and DPI, are more and more implemented as software-defined functions and converging on the cloudized and virtualized network infrastructure, the management of such functions becomes more and more critical. I will introduce some of our recent work towards efficient management of NFV-based service chaining, placement of data and virtual machines (VMs), as well as scheduling of NFV resources.
