TUTORIAL 1 - Challenges and Solutions of Multimedia Service Disruptions in Wireless Networks

Abstract

Wireless technology advances over the last few years have led to a wide use of WPAN, WLAN and WMAN. WiFi and Bluetooth technologies have been widely used in recent years (homes, enterprises, university campus, indoors cars …). While the first technology is widely used to connect mobile gadgets the second is widely used to build spontaneous wireless networks and to access Internet. The convergence between Telecommunication and Computer Communication has led to powerful multimedia communication frameworks to implement Real Time Multimedia services. A plethora of mobile terminal devices like mobile phones every day help their users to use multimedia services. These devices include powered sensors that allow technicians to implement rich multimedia services.

Recently very important advances have been produced in the physical level including MIMO technology, Ultra Wide Band, Cognitive Radio... These advances improve the radio signal received by terminals but they do not avoid the terminals loss coverage in certain regions where there is strong radio pollution or simply faults of coverage. As a result, real time communications can be subject to disruptions during an important time interval - a serious problem for real time communications or a user headache for firm real time multimedia communication.

The presentation will include: an analysis of the present convergence between Multimedia Computer Communications and Telecommunications in the wireless world; Reviewing of interesting QoS properties of wireless technologies; Challenges of wireless real time multimedia communications; Different approaches to solve the sudden loss of coverage for multimedia real time communication; and future advances of wireless networks and services. The assistants will be invited to experiments with their own WiFi mobile devices just in case.

Abstract

Media information capturing, processing and communication have grown exponentially over the last decade. This trend has originated a critical demand for technology to automatically structure, annotate and retrieve specific media information from the vast libraries of available multimedia content. This in turn has fuelled significant industrial interest in technological developments related to multimedia search engines and systems. Key examples of such industry-driven technological developments can be found in the complex systems underpinning Google, Yahoo, and MS-Bing search engines. Actually, the dramatic growth of related tools and the pervasive use and importance of such search engines gives a solid justification of the critical role visual information retrieval is playing in any modern technological development, cultural trends and everyday life of society as a whole. Indeed, visual information retrieval, management and search engine design is becoming a pillar of modern artistic and informative structure of human thinking and communications.

This tutorial is intended to provide an overview of the most important technological developments related to visual information retrieval and to discuss current trends in the field. It will present and discuss the fundamentals of visual information retrieval from the early development in content-based media search to the current trends on human computation and social networking as important aspects of current technology for advanced media structuring, indexing and retrieval. The tutorial will also cover important aspects related to semantic based media classification and annotation.

Abstract

This tutorial gives an introduction to the NetFPGA platform and how it can be used. It demonstrates the use of the reference router to dynamically re-‐route traffic using PW-‐OSPF with streaming video traffic. It is also show how existing designs can be extended to experiment with buffer sizes.

From the basics of NetFPGA and the networking review needed to get into the field, the tutorial provides a general overview of this community-‐supported platform that has been successfully used for networking research and teaching around the world.

No knowledge of Verilog/VHDL is required to attend the tutorial, although knowledge of these languages is needed to program NetFPGA.

Introduction to the Subject

The NetFPGA is and open platform enabling researchers and instructors to build high-‐ speed, hardware-‐accelerated networking systems. The platform can be used in the classroom to teach students how to build Ethernet switches and Internet Prototcol (IP) routers using hardware rather than software.
The platform can be used by researchers to prototype advanced services for next-‐generation networks. By using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), the NetFPGA enables new types of packet routing circuits to be implemented and detailed measurements of network traffic to be obtained.

TUTORIAL 5 - Bridging the gap between SIP and The WWW for an ubiquitous Real Time Communications network

Abstract

WebRTC is an emerging technology which provides state-of-the-art native RTC (Real Time Communications) to web browsers and will be a very important piece for telecommunications in the coming years. By adding a signaling protocol for establishing media sessions, a browser becomes a full RTC communication device making the WWW the biggest RTC network that have ever existed.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a mature and widely used signaling protocol for real time session management. A recent IETF specification enables the use of SIP in the WWW by using WebSocket as a signaling transport: "The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)". This new SIP specification facilitates the communication between web browsers and existing SIP devices and makes possible to accommodate web browses into existing SIP infrastructures.

Biography of the lecturer

José Luis Millán Villegas is a Telecommunications Engineer from the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain. He started working in VoIP in late 2008 and works for a ITSP in Madrid, Spain, providing large scale VoIP solutions based on open standards mainly using the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). He started his research for integrating the WWW and SIP in early 2011 and is a co-author of the IETF dratf "The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)". He is the main author of JsSIP "The JavaScript SIP library", a fully capable SIP stack using WebSocket as a transport and WebRTC for integrating RTC (Real Time Communications) within WebRTC devices. His mission is unifying the WWW and the SIP world into a wider one.

Abstract

A major trend in today's Internet applications is the use of multi-tenant datacenters. Such infrastructures offer a proper environment for elastic growth by employing a simple pay-per-use model. However, the use of shared network resources on datacenters brings major challenges, such as performance unpredictability, new security concerns and poor performance of conventional Internet protocols. In this tutorial, I’ll present an overview of multi-tenant datacenter networks, including discovered limitations and how recent proposals seek to address them on each layer. Issues include approaches to guarantee minimum bandwidth for individual or groups of tenants, performance predictability, proportional division of network resources and security issues. The tutorial will close with open challenges and research directions.

Biography of the lecture

Prof. Marinho P. Barcellos received his PhD degree in Computer Science from University of Newcastle Upon Tyne (1998). In 2003-2004, he worked for the University of Manchester at British Telecomm research labs, evaluating high-performance reliable multicast transport protocols. Since 2008 Prof. Barcellos has been with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), where he is an Associate Professor. He has authored many papers in leading journals and conferences related to computer networks, network and service management, distributed systems, and computer security, also serving as TPC member and chair. He is currently the appointed chair of the Special Interest Group on Computer Security of the Brazilian Computer Society (CESeg/SBC). He is a member of SBC, IEEE and ACM. His interests are virtualized and cloud-oriented networks as well as large-scale and autonomous decentralized systems.
