TL;DR: In this paper, a method of controlling a network, which includes network elements connected via links and provides services, includes the steps of creating view-configuration information based on networkconfiguration with respect to each of the services such that the view- configuration information is related to the network configuration information.
Abstract: A method of controlling a network, which includes network elements connected via links and provides services, includes the steps of creating view-configuration information based on network-configuration information with respect to each of the services such that the view-configuration information is related to the network-configuration information, and displaying a view based on the view-configuration information with respect to each of the services, the view including both or either one of a physical network configuration of the network and a logical network configuration of the network.

TL;DR: A critical view of the IoT and the SDN technologies, current trends in research and the futuristic contributing factors, and a comparative analysis of the existing solutions of SDN-based IoT implementations are provided.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) and Software Defined Network (SDN) are two emerging technologies. The IoT aims to connect objects over the Internet and the SDN provides orchestration for network management by decoupling the control plane and the data plane. The number of connected objects is in billions, and its management and control is a complex task for a large distributed network. The SDN provides flexibility and programmability in the IoT network without troubling underlying architecture of existing implementations. In this paper, we study different IoT application and domains, and the generalized IoT-SDN solutions over the period of 2012-2016. Furthermore, this paper provides a critical view of the IoT and the SDN technologies, current trends in research and the futuristic contributing factors. A comparative analysis of the existing solutions of SDN-based IoT implementations provides an easy and concise view of the emerging trends.

TL;DR: This work focuses on the design and development of the rule generation part and test it using a large real-world dataset containing alarms from a Portuguese telecommunications company, and achieves promising results.
Abstract: This paper introduces an intelligent system that performs alarm correlation and root cause analysis. The system is designed to operate in large-scale heterogeneous networks from telecommunications operators. The proposed architecture includes a rules management module that is based in data mining (to generate the rules) and reinforcement learning (to improve rule selection) algorithms. In this work, we focus on the design and development of the rule generation part and test it using a large real-world dataset containing alarms from a Portuguese telecommunications company. The correlation engine achieved promising results, measured by a compression rate of 70% and assessed in real-time by experienced network administrator staff.

TL;DR: A composite architecture that integrates space and terrestrial network components for providing anytime anywhere communications is presented by utilizing the software defined networking and mobile edge computing paradigms, which not only facilitates the network management and increases network flexibility, but also provides improved quality of service for global multimedia services.
Abstract: A space and terrestrial integrated network (STIN) converges satellite communication networks, mobile wireless networking, and the Internet, has greatly extended the scope of cyberspace. The STIN is composed of diverse network elements and supports various access technologies, and the coordinations in the hybrid networks can better support complex and changeable communication tasks. Furthermore, the STIN takes advantage of the merits of low delay and large bandwidth in terrestrial networks, and achieves global coverage without the limitation of geographic conditions, which can support positioning and navigation, emergency relief, space exploration, and so on. However, the research on STIN is still confronted with some fundamental challenges including time-varying network topology, high satellite mobility, large end-to-end delay, scalability, and so on. In this article, we present a composite architecture that integrates space and terrestrial network components for providing anytime anywhere communications by utilizing the software defined networking and mobile edge computing paradigms, which not only facilitates the network management and increases network flexibility, but also provides improved quality of service for global multimedia services. Additionally, we identify a number of challenging issues associated with the proposed STIN architecture, including mobility management, resource management, routing, traffic steering, security, and so on, a

TL;DR: The Guerrilla management architecture is described to facilitate adaptive and autonomous management of ad hoc networks and is scalable to accommodate the sheer number and heterogeneity of nodes, autonomous and survivable to adapt to network dynamics, and economical to minimize management overhead.
Abstract: Ad hoc networks, where mobile nodes communicate via multihop wireless links, facilitate network connectivity without the aid of any preexisting networking infrastructure. The intrinsic attributes of ad hoc networks, such as dynamic network topology, limited battery power, constrained wireless bandwidth and quality, and large number of heterogeneous nodes, make network management significantly more challenging than stationary and wired networks. In particular, the conventional client/server-based manager/agent management paradigm falls short of addressing these issues. We describe the Guerrilla management architecture to facilitate adaptive and autonomous management of ad hoc networks. The management capability of Guerrilla is scalable to accommodate the sheer number and heterogeneity of nodes, autonomous and survivable to adapt to network dynamics, and economical to minimize management overhead.
