Donald H. Sebastian President & CEO, NJ Innovation Institute
Abstract: The New Jersey Innovation Institute is a non-profit corporation created as a new model for supporting industrial innovation. It relies on bringing university talents and physical assets together in a public-private partnership that can advance the collective technology development needs of both key industrial sectors and individual companies ranging from start-up to global OEM. It was formed by NJIT to institutionalize the university’s longstanding commitment to technology-based economic development. The Institute consolidates NJIT’s pre-existing efforts in tech transfer, incubation, extension, small business assistance and industrial contact services that accounted for roughly $40M in annual revenues and expenditures.
NJII is configured around five key industrial sectors that reflect the priority clusters of the state of New Jersey. Its i-Labs include Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Production, Civil Infrastructure, Defense & Homeland Security, Financial Services and Healthcare Delivery Systems. This organizational scheme is supported by cross-cutting services that include advanced manufacturing, cyber-security, data analytics, materials, entrepreneurship and cluster development. Projects can originate through sector-specific requests or from cross-sectoral drivers. The Institute currently includes Rowan University and Rutgers University as delivery partners tapping into the extensive talent pool of the state university system.
One of the recurring themes across all sectors is the need to extract a benefit from the new generation of sensor-driven, cloud-connected devices that belong to the evolving “internet of things”. Beginning in the late 1800’s, the availability of a reliable and universally accessible electric power grid drove innovation across almost every product category. Today, the creation of ubiquitous broadband networks connecting global cloud based storage and computational resources and fueled by the emergence of novel, intelligent sensor systems creates a similar possibility for a new generation of imaginative products and services. The talk will explore some of the concepts that NJII is working on, especially in the context of its Smart Newark initiative.

Title:
Context Aware, Policy based
approaches to (Network) Security
Abstract: Traditional approaches to securing systems tend to be fixed and mostly non adaptive. The Policy that defines the security posture is in some sense "hardcoded". In this talk, we focus on approaches to securing systems using approaches that have declarative policies that factor in dynamically evolving context. The approach is grounded in W3C standard representation formats for knowledge and formal logic. We show instances of this approach in two different network settings -- mobile devices and intrusion detection.

Title: Cost-Efficient Live VM Migration in Telecom Networks Based on Varying Energy Costs
Abstract: The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry consumes a significant portion of the worldwide energy usage, and reduction in operating energy expenditures is a high priority. One approach to reduce this cost is to exploit the spatial and temporal variations in electricity prices. Our method employs live Virtual Machine (VM) migration to move, at the right time of the day, virtualized workloads (i.e., VMs) towards those datacenters (DCs) with cheaper energy price. The reduction in operating costs benefits the constituents of ICT, mainly cloud-service providers and telecom carriers. This talk will elaborate on our cost-efficient VM migration approach using varying electricity prices to significantly reduce the energy cost to operate cloud services in telecom networks.

Prof. Dipankar Raychaudhuri, WINLAB, Rutgers University
Title:
High Performance Dynamic Spectrum Access
via Inter Network Collaboration
The proposed SAVANT (Dynamic Spectrum Access via Inter-Network Collaboration) architecture enables sharing of spectrum usage (the “radio MAP”) information between collocated wireless networks so as to make networks more “visible” to each other. Parameters exchanged may include transceiver locations, transmit power, bandwidth use, received signal strength, MAC parameters such as carrier sense threshold, antenna properties, etc. Each participating network can then use these parameters to execute autonomous distributed algorithms for spectrum sharing, such as transmit rate adaptation similar in spirit to TCP congestion control. In addition to exchanging radio MAP information, SAVANT provides a higher-layer negotiation protocol interface between cooperating networks to support joint optimization of radio resources while meeting specified policies and optimization criteria. The resulting cooperative system model is outlined, showing how different spectrum sharing algorithms including logically centralized optimization across multiple networks can be accommodated by the framework. Simulation results demonstrating significant performance gains from inter-network cooperation are discussed for a dense WiFi deployment scenario and for a heterogeneous technology scenario with both WiFi and unlicensed LTE operating in the same band. In conclusion, preliminary experimental results are given for a real-time SAVANT implementation using cooperating software-defined network (SDN) wireless network controllers running on the ORBIT testbed.

Title: SDN-Enabled WAN in Carrier Networks
Abstract: SDN and NFV initiatives are important to Verizon and other network operators because we are seeing demand for increased bandwidth without corresponding increases in revenues. Consumers of that bandwidth aren't necessarily willing to pay more for it. The traditional ways of building networks, using purpose-built hardware in networks engineered for peak traffic demand, don't work in this new paradigm. This paradigm shift affects many operators and suppliers; therefore the solutions necessary to drive the technological shift must be well coordinated. Having a standard version of SDN is "a prerequisite" to deployment, because Verizon needs to be sure that whatever it deploys can interoperate not only with other pieces of its network but also future networks. This multi-year effort is designed to allow Verizon and its partners to be far more efficient, resilient, and dynamic with its service offerings through:
- An increased reliance on software, not dedicated HW
- More frequent deployment of new services through small scale trials and shorter release cycles
- Embracing a “fail fast” mentality that will allow VZ and its partners to take smart risks, and pivot quickly in those instances where we don’t exactly hit the mark.
At Verizon this technology shift will include:
- Hardware-software separation
- User plane - control plane separation
- Automated FCAPS
- Micro releases
- Automated testing/deployment
- Real-time automated resource management - configuration and capacity management
- Network programmability via open APIs
