Big Challenges;
Dawn of New-Generation Networks
How can we overcome global challenges
to accomplish sustainable development?
• Environmental changes
• Social and economic problems
• Other problems and crisis facing the future

Increased Power Consumption
 Evidence
5.8% of the total power consumption is used
for ICT in 2006.
Total traffic volume in 2020 is estimated to be
1000–100,000 times of today’s traffic volume.
 For establishing a sustainable global society, we
must overcome the power consumption issues.
New-generation network architecture should
be dedicated to low power-consumption with
no sacrifice of robustness and reliability.

Promote the wisdom of
human beings
Improve quality of life
Promote innovation
Inclusion:
Respect diversity in civilization, culture, and people
Involve people in ICT on a
global scale
Solving Emerging Social
Issues:
Establish new societal systems
Establish a sustainable society
Minimize environmental
impact

•
The primary mission of AKARI is to design a network architecture
To develop novel technologies for NWGN by 2015
To envision a new infrastructure for the next two or three decades
To pursue an ideal solution by researching new network architectures from
a clean-slate without being impeded by existing constrains
