Abstract:

Digital transformation is at the heart of our society in all the activities we develop. This evolution is made possible by the progressive deployment of a sophisticated service infrastructure characterized by its size, diversity and articulation with the various players.  The result is a system of systems whose scalability, availability, reliability, security and performance challenge us in order to make it a strong asset of sovereignty, innovation and industrial competitiveness.

As in other sciences, experimentally driven research has developed in order to equip our community with instruments that can assist the testing of various technologies and architectures. Testbed as a Service appeared to support this need and propose matured solutions for that purpose. PlanetLab, Orbit, OneLab/FIT, GENI and Fed4Fire+ are examples of such test platforms that have hosted thousands of experiments and users. They are now extended and enriched through new initiatives such as SLICES, NSF/PAWR, CENI, Colosseum and ICT-17 projects.

Building and deploying test platforms is complex as digital infrastructures develop quite rapidly, are powered by technology and driven by applications. They are designed to provide an open, remote and programmable access to a virtualized resource marketplace.  They offer a wide variety of advanced computing resources of varying sizes and in sufficient quantity (objects connected to a set of data centers) for the testing, qualification and analysis of assumptions for models, algorithms, and technologies. It mobilizes a broad set of research communities including networking, system, software engineering and vertical applications.

The presentation will highlight the main approaches and solutions currently being deployed and will discuss the various challenges and concerns regarding the design and usage of these platforms. The talk will be illustrated with examples taken from various projects.

Abstract

While the Internet is a hugely successful, human made artifact that has changed the society fundamentally, it has become a complex system with many challenges.  In this talk, I will outline some of them and also point out a number of surprises in terms of our mental models of the Internet that we develop over the years. Next, I will focus on the evolution of the Internet and discuss methods for detecting Internet infrastructure outages and combat major DDoS attacks.  I will end with an outlook on how we may evolve the Internet to tackle the network management challenges as well as handle the flood of ubiquitous data availability from sensors and devices everywhere.
