Industrial Session

Abstract:
Various services are being provided onto the N-Screen devices in the same form or a cooperative manner due to the wide spread of smart devices, e.g., smart phone, smart pad, and smart TV, which have networking and display functionalities. A great amount of data called Big Data is being generated in providing N-Screen services, which is just stored and removed without any further processes. A lot of valuable information can be derived from such Big Data, e.g., users’ preferences and tendencies, similarities and relations among users or items, and so on. This talk will first introduce some commercial KT services running on the N-Screen devices and then present intelligent services which are based on Big Data and will enhance KT’s N-Screen services. The intelligent services include conversational content and information retrieval, recommendation, and social information

Abstract:
Over the last few years the advancement of cloud computing technology has provided greater access to technologists around the world.  This has resulted in lower barrier of entry for start-ups and small businesses to take advantage of computing capabilities that were only available to larger enterprises. Larger enterprises have also benefited from this trend through consolidation and their ability to focus on their core business needs. This talk will cover the recent advancement in cloud computing from the data center, security and operational policies, various services that provide world class computing capabilities to greater audiences and upcoming consumer devices, and experiential elements of cloud computing. Cloud-based multi-screen services will also be presented and discussed.

Abstract:
Wireless mobile communications systems have been drastically changed and evolved since 2007 due to the rapid penetration of mobile broadband internet access service demand. In HSPA, there were many new features and ideas to provide more reliable communications and rich data services in an efficient way. However, HSPA has limitations in terms of flexibility of spectrum management and advanced technology such as multiple antenna technology. Therefore, LTE standard has adopted those new technologies and enhanced performance. One of the most vital features of LTE is the flexibility of spectrum (frequency bandwidths and frequency bands) and highest data speed support with multiple antenna technologies. Recently, there are many activities to enhance the performance of mobile systems in such a way to control cell management and configuration to reduce interference (e.g., CoMP) and to increase the peak data rate and cell capacity through wider spectrum with carrier aggregation (CA). Also, as cells get smaller, mobile stations are affected by more diverse and stronger interference. This talk focuses on what should be future wireless communications technologies and what will be a big challenge for achieving the goal. The talk also introduces future issues on the global standards for the next generation wireless mobile communication systems conducted by 3GPP briefly and its future perspective.

Abstract:
Despite the tremendous success of the Internet in the last few decades, its limitations have recently been highlighted by the technological advances and challenging requirements of diverse applications. One of the attempts to overcome such limitations is redesigning the Internet on the "clean-slate" basis. A key innovation of the “clean-slate” research is the separation between identity and locator. The philosophy behind the ID and locator separation is that an identity must be used for denoting a communication entity and must be independent from the topological location of the entity. While the ID and locator separation provides a sound solution to mobility and handling of topology changes, which cannot be solved inherently by the current Internet, its benefits are overshadowed by the routing scalability since the IDs cannot be aggregated. Unlike the traditional Internet that deals with the scalability issue at the address-level by aggregating IP addresses in IP packets, the proposed architecture solves scalability issues by structuring the network with hierarchically organized domains. This talk presents a highly scalable ID-based communication scheme consisting of ID/Locator mapping, ID-based route computation, and ID-based forwarding under the framework of the architecture called Domain-Insulated Autonomous Network Architecture (DIANA).

Abstract:
The Internet of Things will link physical objects as well as virtual data and environments, enabling machines, objects and things to talk to each other in a worldwide network without human intervention. The impact on society will be massive but there are many implementation challenges. The standardization of an M2M (Machine-to-Machine) service platform will speed up the development of the M2M market. This talk will introduce the overall architecture and related technologies for M2M communications and present a global standard solution for M2M Communications. In its horizontal architecture, applications share common infrastructure environments and network transitions. Standardized software and hardware interfaces and protocols will ensure the interoperability of all system elements. M2M communications is a path towards the Internet of Things (IoT).

Biography: Dr. Enrico Scarrone joined CSELT (now Telecom Italia LAB), the R&D division of the Telecom Italia Group in 1992. He contributed to several main research projects during '90s and subsequently to several standardization activities in ETSI, ITU-T, ATM Forum, 3GPP (SA, SA1, CT, and RAN), 3G.IP, including chairmanships in 3GPP and ETSI in the fields of ATM, signalling, mobile systems and their integration with IP. Participation and promotion of several early studies on the integration of IP and mobile cellular networks has allowed him to participate from the beginning to the work of 3G.IP, and indirectly to stimulate the work on release 2000 in 3GPP about the all-IP solutions and the multimedia network principles. At the same time, he was involved in several Telecom Italia projects in technology planning and selection, including network budget forecasts, RFI, RFQ and testing, mainly in the mobile and fixed mobile convergence fields. This has allowed him to keep a strong link between the real networks and standardization/research. This includes roll out of GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, EV-DO, Fixed broadband, FMC, IMS and other technologies in Austria, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Brasil, Peru, Indonesia, and technical consulting in several other countries including Venezuela, Vietnam, The Netherlands, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. He is participating in 3GPP SA1, dealing with service and operational requirements in 3GPP mobile systems, where he served as Chairman from 1996 to 2011. Dr. Scarrrone is currently Chairman of the ETSI Technical Committee Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. This TC M2M is the ETSI main center of expertise in the area of M2M, and he is in charge of developing a global multiservice system for M2M communications and Internet of Things (IoT) and is actively involved in the oneM2M initiative. He is also a coordinator for M2M standardization inside the Telecom Italia Technology Planning Department.
