Session Abstract
This talk is motivated by the belief that the next generation of advanced networked applications (i.e., Net+, Cloud based services) will require integration and co-scheduling of Network, Middleware, and Application level services. These networked applications will be user focused and driven by domain specific requirements. A new class of "intelligent network services" must emerge in order to feed the co-scheduling algorithms which will be searching for real-time and scheduled solutions based on client requests. In this talk we present results from the ARCHSTONE (Advanced Resource Computation for Hybrid Service and TOpology NEtworks) project which has added functionality to the OSCARSv0.6 system to provide these types of "intelligent network services". This includes a framework for "modular composable network services" and an advanced multi-dimensional resource computation engine that allows clients to ask the network "what is possible?" questions as part a larger workflow and co-scheduling activity. Use of these network services by the Virtual Network On Demand (VNOD) co-scheduling workflow is described. We also describe our plans to utilize OpenFlow to expand on the set of available network services to develop even more advanced application services based on this paradigm.
