** CALL FOR PAPERS **
JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable
Networks
Manuscript due March 30, 2005
------------------------------------------------------------
Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data
to reside within network packets such that injected code can
modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable
networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane
services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high-
speed routers or software radio methods in wireless
networks). This raises fundamental management issues
regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and
computation, configuration, fault, security, performance,
and accounting management.
AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being
facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however,
they add another level of complexity to active and
programmable network management. The relationship between
computation and communication can be addressed by concepts
from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov-
Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form
an ideal environment in which to study the effects of
tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information
representation. Active code can contain either the protocol
or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other
divisions of code and state are possible between packets
(e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable
data-plane code).
------------------------------------------------------------
This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems
Management will consider topics associated with the
management of active and programmable networks. Submissions
will span a broad range of topics, e.g.:
* Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work
in algorithmic information theory and applications to the
health, management, and security of an active or
programmable network
* Fundamental relationships between computation and
communication applied to active or programmable networks;
relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control
access of information, system vulnerability detection,
policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable
network
* Self-organization and composition of active network
services; self-configuration of active or programmable
networks
* Case studies involving the management of dynamic
adaptation and performance enabled by active networks
* Active or programmable networks used to manage and control
mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks
* Active or programmable network management of QoS:
controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link
quality
* Management of active packets in constrained devices such
as sensors
* Active and programmable network management techniques
applied to link and physical layer network components e.g.
software radio waveforms
* Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard
access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable
mechanisms
