Short Biography
Dr. Marcus Brunner is chief researcher at the Network Laboratories of
NEC Europe Ltd. in Heidelberg, Germany. He received his Ph.D. from the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), while working in
the Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) of the
Electrical Engineering Department in 1999. He got his M.S. in Computer
Science from ETH Zurich in 1994. Aside from the involvement in
different national and international projects, his primary research
interests include network architectures (fixed and mobile),
programmability in networks, network and service management. He is a
leading member of the network management research community with being
in the Organization and Technical Program Committees of major network
management conferences such as NOMS, IM, DSOM, IPOM, etc. E.g., he was
TPC co-chair of NOMS'08. Also in the networking area he is in the
Organization and Technical Program Committees of major conferences such
as IEEE Globecom, IEEE ICC, IEEE LCN, etc. He is currently IEEE
Globecom 08 and ICC'09 symposium chair on Next Generation Networks. He
is in the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Network and
Service Management (TNSM), the Journal of Network and Systems
Management (JNSM), and the Journal on Peer-to-Peer Networking and
Applications. Finally, he is secretary of the IEEE Communication
Society Technical Activities Council (TAC) and secretary of the IEEE
ComSoc technical committee on Network Operation and Management (CNOM).

Keynote
Speech II : Design of Next Generation Internet Based on
Application-Oriented Networking
Sunday, 30 November, 2008 –
1:30PM-02:15PM
Keynote Speaker: Prof.
Yu Cheng, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA |

Abstract
|
Enhancing
network nodes with application intelligence has become one of the
mainstream ideas to design the next-generation Internet, stimulated by
various applications, including firewalls, Web proxies/caches,
multicasting, mobile gateways, and service-oriented architectures.
Cisco has already started to produce network devices with application
intelligence to enhance the deployment, management, and integration of
network applications, termed as application-oriented networking (AON).
However, as far as we know, all of the current AON studies are directed
to facilitate the upper-layer applications. In this talk, we take a
generic interpretation of application-oriented networking, rather than
as a vendor-specific solution, that the IP devices can intercept and
process not only packet headers but also payloads. We will demonstrate
that the AON methodology provides an opportunity to streamline the
design of networking functionalities, or even trigger new Internet
protocols or architectures, towards the next generation Internet. In
particular, we will discuss how to develop a scalable multicast
protocol based on AON and how to integrate AON, service-oriented
architecture (SOA), and autonomic computing to establish a
next-generation network management framework.
Short Biography
Yu Cheng received the B.E. and M.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering
from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1995 and 1998,
respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada,
in 2003. From September 2004 to July 2006, he was a postdoctoral
research fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since August 2006,
he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, USA, as an
Assistant Professor. His research interests include service and
application oriented networking, autonomic network management, Internet
measurement and performance analysis, wireless networks, and
wireless/wireline interworking. He received a Postdoctoral Fellowship
Award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada (NSERC) in 2004, and a Best Paper Award from the International
Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability,
Security and Robustness (QShine'07), Vancouver, British Columbia,
August, 2007. He is an Associated Editor for IEEE Transactions on
Vehicular Technology.
