 Lecture topic  

 Virtualized Software-based Networks for 5G and Beyond

 Lecture summary                

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies in different societal areas has triggered the development of new enhancements to the whole network ecosystem, in order to allow it to encompass such growth. 5G has aggregated different kinds of supportive technologies, not only at the access layer but also at the core network, in order to allow the network service to be provided in a more elastic and dynamic way, making intelligent use of COTS hardware, thus reducing costs. This lecture explores a key set of such supportive technologies, namely Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization and Orchestration, showcasing their contribution to the enablement of new network operational scenarios, where automation and algorithmic procedures replace static over-provisioned network deployments.

 Short Bio

Dr. Daniel Corujo is a Doctorate Researcher and lecturer from the University of Aveiro, where he concluded his PhD in 2013. He was a coordinator of the Telecommunications and Networking research team at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, in Aveiro, Portugal, a team of over 50 people, for the 2017-2018 biennium. He has been an active researcher and contributor to standardization in the fields of Information Centric Networking, through the IETF/IRTF, and Media Independent Handovers, through the IEEE. He has pursued such concepts under the scope of a broad range of EU FP7 research projects, such as DAIDALOS, OneLab2, 4WARD, MEDIEVAL and OFELIA, and H2020 projects such as 5GinFIRE, where he also played key roles from proposal elaboration to task and workpackage co-leading. He is currently WP leader in the national 5G Mobilizer project. Parallel to his 10 years of experience on mobility management research, he has been more recently developing work on the areas of the 5G, Network Function Virtualization, Software Defined Networking and Information Centric Networking, deploying new visions and enhancements of such concepts over wireless networks, in national and international research projects.

Procedure for the Evaluation of the RESEARCH PLAN or ANNUAL DEFENCE

PhD Program on Information and Communications Technology of the University of Vigo

Academic year 2018-2019

Approved by the Academic Committee (CAPD)

 

General Considerations:

  1. This activity is compulsory for all the students enrolled in the academic year.
  2. The working language is English.
  3. A rubric for evaluation is approved by the Academic Committee of the PhD program (CAPD). This rubric will be used for all students. Nevertheless, evaluation committees will take into consideration the actual dedication of the students: Full- time students, Part-time students, etc. This rubric is in Annex 1.
  4. This rubric will be completed by the Evaluation Committee, and by the advisor(s) of the thesis. In case of more than one advisor, all advisors must agree on a single rubric.
  5. The Evaluation Committee will propose a Score to the Academic Committee of the PhD Program. CAPD will be in charge of delivering the final score.
  6. Each student will be assigned to one of the evaluation committees. This assignment is made by the CAPD.
  7. There will be four  Evaluation Committees:

Committee no 1

  • Antonio Pena Giménez
  • Rebeca Díaz Redondo
  • Manuel Caeiro Rodríguez

Committee no 2

  • Cristina López Bravo
  • Eduardo Rodríguez Banga
  • Juan Carlos Burguillo Rial

Committee no3

  • Pedro S. Rodríguez Hernández
  • Inés García-Tuñón Blanca
  • Manuel Ramos Cabrer

Committee no4

  • María Soledad Torres
  • Manuel Fernández Veiga
  • Martín López Nores

 

Evaluation procedure and calendar:

    1. All students must prepare a poster. The pdf file of the poster must be uploaded to the faitic server by 14:00 (CET) of May 27, 2019, Monday. DocTIC will be in charge of the printing of the poster for those students who will attend the session.
    2. Those students unable to attend the workshop will contact the DocTIC coordinator (doc_tic@uvigo.es) by May 15, 2019, Monday, explaining the reason for his/her absence. Upon acceptance, one member of the corresponding evaluation committee will contact the student in order to set up an appointment by Skype. The students will receive the instructions about how the evaluation will be conducted. These students do not have to send the slide.
    3. The advisors must upload one rubric by May 27, 2019, Monday,  to the faitic server.
    4. Students attending the evaluation day must send one slide of the poster presentation (just 1 page in landscape orientation) by 14:00 (CET) of June 3, 2019, Monday.
    5. The evaluation by the committees will take place during the poster sessions of the workshop (June 7, Friday).
    6. The evaluation committees will deliver the score by June 17, 2019, Monday. Those students who fail will be granted with a two-week period to correct the observed deficiencies. Final scores will be delivered to the CAPD by July 12, 2019, Friday.
    7. There will be 1 Best Poster Award that will be selected based on student voting.
