Introduction

The ability to rapidly create and deploy new transport, control and management architectures in response to new service demands is a key factor driving the programmable networking community. Competition between service providers may hinge on the speed at which one provider can respond to new market demands over another. The notion of open programmable networks is having broad impact on service providers and vendors across a range of telecommunication sectors calling for major advances in open network control architecture, network programmability and distributed systems technology.

Seminar Outline

In this seminar we will cover the emerging area of programmable networks. The seminar is limited to a small group of students and excellent programming skills are assumed. We will discuss a number of new initiatives in the area of open programmable networks that have recently emerged. The seminar will comprise of three projects and weekly reviews of technical papers. Focus will be programmable wireless and IP networking. Prototypes will be built and demonstrated and term 'conference level' paper written.
