CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IWAN 2000
The Second International Working Conference on Active Networks
October 16-18, 2000
Musashino Research and Development Center, NTT
Musashino-shi, Tokyo, Japan
http://www.sdl.hitachi.co.jp/iwan2000/
iwan2000 AT sdl.hitachi.co DOT jp
Sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7
In cooperation with IPSJ, IEICE
Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
Supported by NTT, Hitachi, GMD-FOKUS
>> Early registration deadline: September 14, 2000
Incorporating computational capabilities into the network is
expected to ease the provision of value-added services and to
accelerate network infrastructure innovation. Active Network
technologies arise in this context as the solutions for
offering a flexible, dynamically customizable and programmable
network infrastructure. Network services are expected to be
dynamically customized for particular types of applications,
users or individual packets.
As the first International Working Conference on Active Network
held in Berlin, IWAN'99 was aimed at providing the opportunity
for discussions on various views, frameworks, applications, and
implementations of the Active Network technologies. IWAN2000
follows this line, and also offers the opportunity for
evaluating this emerging technology. Reporting experience and
results from projects and trials are seen as a major goal of
IWAN2000.

The Tutorial: October 16
The following tutorial will be held:
"Active Internet Technology and Service"
Georg Carle (GMD-FOKUS, Germany)
[Content]
Active Networks play a key role in the evolution of packet-
switched networks, as they provide a new networking platform
that is flexible and extensible at runtime. By allowing to
dynamically program the network nodes, customized communications
can be provided to the applications. Active Networks give fine-
grain control to meet specific requirements of security,
reliability, availability, and quality of service under a
variety of conditions. The phrase "active networks" does not
specify a specific approach. Instead, the term is used in
connection with a wide range of techniques.
This tutorial introduces models and terminology of active
networks, points out motivating factors and key issues behind
existing work, and describes two basic approaches: the discrete
or out-of-band approach, and the integrated or in-band approach.
The node architecture plays an important role. Main objectives
and current directions of research are introduced. The active
network architecture developed in the DARPA-funded active
networks program is discussed and compared with approaches of
selected research projects.
Key technologies and mechanisms of active networks are treated:
operating system support, resource abstractions, programming
interfaces, languages for active networks.
Security requirements and issues are described, together with
possible approaches to address the issues.
A number of applications of active networks are presented:
network management, Quality of Service control, multicast
communication, caching, and rate adaptation and error recovery
for voice and video transmission.
Open issues are discussed that have to be addressed in order
for active networks and active applications to become reality,
and possible future directions of active networking research
are given.
