The organizers, Sourav Bhattacharya ([e-mail]), Jeffrey M. Capone ([e-mail]), and Kevin Dooley ([e-mail]) will hold an exploratory workshop to investigate the research issues in quality and process aspects in the engineering and operation of complex network systems. The focus and motivation for this workshop stems from recognizing the immense practical utility and impact that software process and quality research has made to the development of software - leading to the subject area of "software engineering". The objective of this research is to create similar impact in the network engineering and operations area. In Network Engineering & Operations (NEO), design process and quality-oriented research is largely missing. The state-of-the-art in NEO process is similar to the unstructured approach of software development that is clearly outdated now, and often considered harmful. A good NEO process should allow a network developer or engineer to commence with a set of requirements, specify them, analyze them, consider high level design alternatives, adopt an implementation, operate the network efficiently, and test them in a cost effective, controlled and evolutionary manner.The focus of this workshop would be to discuss the research issues in NEO. The researchers will address research issues both along the lines of "Underlying Network Technology" and "Network System Engineering" area. Examples of such research issues will include, but are not limited to, the following: QoS and QoS testing; end-to-end integration; commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components compatibility and interface; traffic moderation and large-scale flow control; tools for life-cycle management, configuration control and network resource management; management of network scalability and growth; design and testing for availability, assurance, and cost-effective maintenance. The workshop will foster active participation from academia, industry and government. It will include invited key researchers from core network technologies area, as well as systems engineering, network operations and process & quality areas. The basic nature of this research is highly interdisciplinary, calling upon experts in the area of computer science, electrical engineering and process & quality (manufacturing). Participation in this workshop is open to all interested parties and contributors. Outcome of this workshop will include identification of some of the research issues in NE, and a roadmap to carry forward to the next step.

组织者Sourav Bhattacharya（[e-mail]），Jeffrey M. Capone（asu.edu）和Kevin Dooley（kevin. [e-mail]）将举办一个探索性研讨会，调查复杂网络系统工程和操作中质量和过程方面的研究问题。本次研讨会的重点和动机源于认识到软件过程和质量研究对软件开发的巨大实际效用和影响-导致“软件工程”的主题领域。 这项研究的目的是在网络工程和运营领域产生类似的影响。在网络工程运营（NEO）中，设计过程和面向质量的研究在很大程度上是缺失的。 NEO过程的最新技术类似于软件开发的非结构化方法，这种方法现在显然已经过时，并且通常被认为是有害的。 一个好的近地天体过程应该允许网络开发人员或工程师从一组要求开始，详细说明，分析，考虑高层次的设计方案，采用一种实施方案，有效地运行网络，并以一种具有成本效益的、可控的和渐进的方式测试它们。研究人员将解决沿着“底层网络技术”和“网络系统工程”领域的研究问题。 这些研究问题的例子将包括但不限于以下内容：QoS和QoS测试;端到端集成;商用现成（COTS）组件兼容性和接口;流量调节和大规模流量控制;生命周期管理、配置控制和网络资源管理的工具;网络可扩展性和增长的管理;设计和测试可用性、保证和经济高效的维护。 讲习班将促进学术界、工业界和政府的积极参与。它将包括来自核心网络技术领域，以及系统工程，网络运营和过程质量领域的邀请关键研究人员。这项研究的基本性质是高度跨学科的，呼吁在计算机科学，电气工程和过程质量（制造）领域的专家。 所有感兴趣的各方和贡献者均可参加该讲习班。研讨会的成果将包括确定东北的一些研究问题，并进行下一步的路线图。
