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

该项目利用NICT以前在虚拟移动网络技术方面的工作和罗格斯大学WINLAB的第一个未来互联网体系结构，为高性能网络物理系统开发全面的服务和网络解决方案，该解决方案可扩展到Juno计划目标的“万亿对象”级别。其目的是开发一个虚拟移动云网络(VMCN)，为实时移动用户和应用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：使用NICT的Byon移动云技术与MobilityFirst基于全球唯一标识符(GUID)的协议栈相结合设计新的虚拟网络框架；设计虚拟网络服务以有效支持云服务；利用局部性加快全球名称解析；以及跨网络动态迁移云服务。该项目将采用自上而下的应用程序驱动方法来验证拟议的虚拟移动云网络的性能，并对特定的高级CPS应用程序进行基准测试。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试验台开发。该项目产生的技术预计将使涉及移动设备实时云服务的广泛商业和政府应用成为可能。该项目还将为网络和计算机行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.
