Middleware for Control Plane Implementations

UCL Centre of Networking Excellence are pleased to present the first workshop on Networking Resource Allocation Middleware

As part of the MB-NG project, we are organising in London a two days workshop on the 20th and 21st February 2003 to review in detail two platforms for the control plane implementation for resource reservation across multiple domains.

The main presentations are from:

  • Volker Sander, from Central Institute for Applied Mathematics, presenting the "General-purpose Architecture for Reservation and Allocation" (GARA)
  • Leon Gommans & Bas v Oudenaarde, from University of Amsterdam, presenting a "AAA Server" implementation.

The aim of this workshop will be to get an understanding of the platforms, with revision of code inclusive, and try to draw ideas for the implementation in the MB-NG project.

Everybody interested in the subject is welcomed. I would appreciate, should you be interested, if you could drop me an email.
