NeTS: JUNO: Virtual Mobile Cloud Network for Realizing Scalable, Real-Time Cyber Physical Systems

该项目利用NICT的虚拟移动网络技术和罗格斯大学WINLAB的MobilityFirst未来互联网架构，为高性能网络物理系统开发综合服务和网络解决方案，该系统可扩展到JUNO计划目标的“万亿对象”级别。目标是开发一个虚拟移动云网络（vMCN），为实时移动用户和应用程序提供无缝和低延迟的服务。该项目涉及的主要研究主题包括设计一个新的虚拟网络框架，该框架使用NICT的BYON移动云技术与MobilityFirst基于全球唯一标识符（GUID）的协议栈集成；虚拟网络服务设计，高效支持云服务利用局部性加速全局名称解析；以及云服务跨网络的动态迁移。该项目将采用自顶向下的应用程序驱动方法，为特定的高级CPS应用程序验证拟议的虚拟移动云网络的性能并对其进行基准测试。拟议的vMCN系统的概念验证原型将分别在日本和美国使用JGN-X和GENI测试平台开发。该项目产生的技术有望实现广泛的商业和政府应用，包括移动设备的实时云服务。该项目还将为网络和计算机工业日益感兴趣的未来虚拟网络技术的发展提供指导。拟议中的合作还将有助于加强美国和日本之间的研究联系，特别是在未来互联网架构领域。

This project leverages prior work on virtual mobile network technology at NICT and the MobilityFirst future Internet architecture at WINLAB, Rutgers University, to develop a comprehensive services and networking solution for high-performance cyber physical systems that scales to the "trillion object" level targeted by the JUNO program. The aim is to develop a virtual mobile cloud network (vMCN) which provides seamless and low latency services to real-time mobile users and applications. Major research themes addressed by this project include the design of a new virtual networking framework using NICT's BYON mobile cloud technology integrated with MobilityFirst's globally unique identifier (GUID) based protocol stack; design of virtual network services for efficient support of cloud services; exploiting locality to speed up global name resolution; and dynamic migration of cloud services across networks. The project will adopt a top-down application driven methodology to validate and benchmark the performance of the proposed virtual mobile cloud network for a specific advanced CPS application. A proof-of-concept prototype of the proposed vMCN system will be developed using JGN-X and GENI testbeds in Japan and US respectively.Technologies resulting from this project are expected to enable a wide range of commercial and government applications involving real-time cloud services for mobile devices. The project will also provide guidance for the development of future virtual network technologies of increasing interest to the networking and computer industries. The proposed collaboration will also help to strengthen research ties between US and Japan specifically in the field of future Internet architecture.
