INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION FOCUS GROUP ON FUTURE NETWORKS TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDIZATION SECTOR FG-FN OD-8 Original: English STUDY PERIOD 2009-2012 1st FG-FN meeting: Lulea, Sweden, 29 June – 3 July 2009 OUTPUT DOCUMENT 8 Source: FG FN Chairman Title: Project description For: Information Project Description Version : 24.6.2009 (cover sheet) 1. Project Name, including acronym e.g., Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) 2. Parent project/organization, if any e.g., FP7 3. Technical aspect of the project a) Research Area e.g., network management b) Objectives and Motivations including problem statements e.g., It is difficult to design network management systems (NMSs) for huge networks because … this causes this and that headache… Our objectives are therefore (1) to develop CO2-free batteries applicable for NMS (2)… c) Timeframe, target date e.g., Our objective is to design a network for 2020/2025/2030/2050/next millennium. We will therefore design the architecture and make publicly available experimental implementation by 2010. d) Relevant works, past and present e.g., SIGCOMM paper, XXX research project, RFC xxxx, and so on. e) Key ideas e.g., philosopher’s stones that perfectly predict the future traffic were invented at Hogwarts University. We apply them to network management and achieve perfect load balancing without sacrificing scalability. Contact: Mr. N.

(1) design bulk production process of philosopher’s stone. (2) design the architecture of load balancer. As for (1), we succeeded to manufacture 100 stones/hour. As for (2), it’s an ongoing work. g) Important milestones h) Important publications i) 4.
