Session 1: ContextQoS
Session Chair: Dr.-Ing. Patrick-Benjamin Bök, Weidmüller Group
Keynote: “Challenges for Industrial Internet”
Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Patrick-Benjamin Bök, Weidmüller Group
Abstract: The challenges of industrial internet are manifold, especially regarding the interconnection within and between production networks to perform some kind of advanced manufacturing. Context-aware approaches have to focus on the different parts of the industrial internet. Within machines, different components communicate with each other and exchange information to fulfill the production task. Within the production site, different machines will communicate with each other to exchange information and control the workflows of the production. Between production sites and, especially, between production, suppliers and distributors information will be exchanged to optimize the whole supply chain. In the future, this will not be the information at which point in time finished products will be available and delivered. Communication will begin at machine component level to have detailed information. This leads to a lot of challenges for the communication network because it will be a network of networks of networks of networks with heterogeneous technologies and protocols having varying performance requirements on the communication path between two entities. Furthermore, the security requirements of these networks are critical due to their contact to critical infrastructures, e. g. if advanced manufacturing is integrated into smart local grids. Based on scenarios having distributed production sites as a basis, the challenges of industrial internet are motivated.

Abstract: Modern networks are undergoing an exciting transition toward a paradigm of greater programmability and dynamic flow management. For the network security community, this transformation is opening attractive opportunities for more innovative forms of threat mitigation. It is also raising interesting challenges in how to reconcile our legacy notions of well-defined security policy enforcement. I will discuss some of the ongoing work toward securing software-defined networks (SDNs), as well as some interesting new SDN-enabled security and management applications.

Keynote: “Security Challenges and Opportunities in Network Function Virtualization”
Speaker: Dr. Ashutosh Dutta, Technology Executive (Mobility, Cloud and Enterprise Security) AT&T
Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are becoming the key pillars of future network components that telecom operators and service providers can leverage in order to provide flexible and cost effective service without compromising the end user quality of service. While network function virtualization opens up the door for flexible service creation and rapid deployment, it offers both security opportunities and adds additional security challenges in some cases. These security issues can primarily be classified into several categories, namely OS security, network security, VM security, hypervisor-based security, API security, cloud security and NFV specific security. With the rapid deployment of 4G LTE networks, operators have started the trial deployment of network function virtualization, especially with various components for Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and IP Multimedia Services (IMS) such as, virtualized Residential Gateway, Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls, Virtualized Router, Virtualized Probes, and Virtualized Switch. However, very little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualization by these vendors. While security expert group within ETSI NFV has started looking into many security issues introduced by Network Function Virtualization, additional work is needed with larger security community involvement. This talk will discuss various security challenges and opportunities introduced by virtualization, activities within the open source communities and will highlight a few deployment use case scenarios.

Session 1: WiMAN
Session Chair: Habib M. Ammari, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA
WiMAN Keynote: Taking VANET to the clouds
Speaker Prof. Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA
Abstract: Inspired by the success of conventional cloud services, a number of researchers have recently introduced the concept of a Vehicular Cloud (VC). In this keynote address, we envision a VC involving cars in the parking lot of a major airport. The patrons of such a parking lot are typically on travel for several days, providing a pool of cars that can serve as the basis for a data center at the airport. We anticipate a scenario where the cars that participate in the vehicular cloud are plugged into a standard power outlet and are provided wireless connection to a central server at the airport. The defining difference between vehicular and conventional clouds lie in the distributed ownership and, consequently, the unpredictable availability of computational resources. As cars enter and leave the parking lot, new computational resources become available while others depart creating a dynamic environment where the task of efficiently assigning cars to jobs becomes very challenging.
Bio: Professor Olariu has held many different roles and responsibilities as a member of numerous organizations and teams. Much of his experience has been with the design and implementation of robust protocols for wireless networks and in particular sensor networks and their applications.
