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.
