“AUTONOMIC NETWORKING AND VIRTUALIZATION APPLICATION TO THE WIRELESS INTERNET”
Guy Pujolle, Ph.D.
Autonomic networking
Currently, IP networks have a huge and important position. The provisioning and the control of these networks have a very high importance. However, they are only made by static methods. This presentation proposes a complete environment based on Autonomic Networking, associated with a knowledge plane and a piloting plane, to control the Quality of Service (QoS) in IP networks and consequently responds to users’ requirements. The autonomic components, which are directly implemented in the core of the equipments, will allow the management of the networks by adaptive and adequate methods through the new plane. Furthermore, they will decrease the need of the human’ intervention.
Guy Pujolle received the Ph.D. and "Thèse d'Etat" degrees in Computer Science from the University of Paris IX and Paris XI on 1975 and 1978 respectively. He is currently a Professor at the Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris 6) and a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Orange/France Telecom. He spent the period 1994-2000 as Professor and Head of the computer science department of Versailles University. He was also Professor and Head of the MASI Laboratory (Pierre et Marie Curie University), 1981-1993, Professor at ENST (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications), 1979-1981, and member of the scientific staff of INRIA, 1974-1979.
Guy Pujolle is co-founder of QoSMOS (www.qosmos.fr), Ucopia Communications (www.ucopia.com), and Ginkgo-Networks (www.ginkgo-networks.com).

Course Outline
In the first part of the tutorial, virtualization principles will be introduced and it will be shown how this can help autonomic networking to be optimized.
The second part of the presentation will provide a survey of what we name here the Wi-family (WiMedia, Wi-Fi, WiMax, Wi-Mobile, WiRAN), and emphasizes on an autonomic and virtual architecture to optimize the behaviour of the future Wireless Internet. It will be encouraging to see the fast development of the new IEEE wireless technologies promising the ultimate Internet service deployment on wireless and mobile infrastructures since they would offer larger bandwidth at cheaper price compared to the telecommunication wireless radio resource.
