Abstract Abstract:
We live in a world of many different types of wireless access
networks. There will be no perfect wireless system in terms of
various factors such as mobility, capacity, coverage, and cost.
Instead, these networks, each with its unique features, will
co-exist. Technologies that enable users to seamlessly and easily
use these networks are needed. This comprises the first part of the
talk: network convergence: wireless + wireless. The increasing
traffic from wireless networks needs eventually to be backhauled to
the core network, which introduces the second part of the talk,
network convergence: wired + wireless (or so called fixed mobile
convergence: FMC). I will present some of our solutions to these
network convergence challenges. Then I will briefly present some of our work on service
convergence from two perspectives: adaptive (or pervasive) services
for mobile devices and network services in future Internet
(including network virtualization) in the context of some EPSRC or
EU FP7 projects. I will conclude my talk with an illustration of
converged networks and services test-bed in University of Essex.
The
outline of the talk is as follows:

Short
bio: Kun Yang obtained his PhD from the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
of University College London (UCL), UK, and MSc and BSc from the
Department of Computer Science & Technology of Jilin University,
China. He is currently a Reader in the School of Computer Science
and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex, UK. Before joining
in University of Essex at 2003, he worked at UCL on several EU
research projects such as FAIN, MANTRIP, CONTEXT in the area of IP
network management, active networks and context-aware services. Now
his main research interests focus on heterogeneous wireless networks
and their convergence with fixed networks such as PON (passive
optical networks). Future network technologies such as network
virtualization, cloud computing, pervasive service engineering are
also within his research interest. He has published more than 50
journal papers and books, in addition to 50+ major conference
papers. He manages research projects funded by EU FP7 (such as the
EVANS project), EPSRC (e.g., PANDA), and industries such as British
Telecom (e.g., MOSE). He serves on the editorial boards of both IEEE
and non-IEEE journals (Wiley or Springer). He is a Senior Member of
IEEE. |
