Despite the increasing roll-out of broadband terrestrial services like DSL, a
significant amount of households worldwide are deprived from fast broadband
access services. Bridging this digital divide is high on the agenda of decision
makers because broadband penetration has high economic impact on a
country. The service cannot be limited to cities. This requirement is translated
into 100% service obligations for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) covering
the whole territory of a country or region. Running these services in an
economically viable way is a major challenge.
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing international telecom companies in 2017 and beyond.

This webinar discusses how mobile operators can monetize VoLTE and RCS services beyond flat-rate data plans. It covers trends in LTE services, the IMS architecture as the technical foundation, and a MetroPCS case study. The webinar explores opportunities for new services, innovations, and partnerships to generate additional revenue streams. The role of the media resource function in supporting advanced services is also examined.
This webinar explains why PISA chips are inevitable, provides overview of machine architecture of such switches, presents a brief primer on the P4 language with sample programs for a variety of networks and demonstrates a powerful network diagnostics application implemented in P4.
Programmability in SDNs is confined to the network control plane. The forwarding plane is still largely dictated by fixed-function switching chips. Our goal is to change that, and to allow programmers to define how packets are to be processed all the way down to the wire.
This is made possible by a new generation of high-performance forwarding chips. At the high-end, PISA (Protocol-Independent Switch Architecture) chips promise multi-Tb/s of packet processing. At the mid- and low-end of the performance spectrum, CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and NPUs already offer great flexibility with performance of a few tens to hundreds of Gb/s.
In addition to programmable forwarding chips, we also need a high-level language to dictate the forwarding behavior in a target independent fashion. "P4" (www.p4.org) is such a language. In P4, the programer declares how packets are to be processed, and a compiler generates a configuration for a PISA chip, or a programmable target in general. For example, the programmer might program the switch to be a top-of-rack switch, a firewall, or a load-balancer; and might add features to run automatic diagnostics and novel congestion control algorithms.

This document summarizes a research talk on RadioVisor, a system for slicing radio access networks. It addresses the problems of dense wireless deployments and exponential traffic growth. RadioVisor uses an SDN approach to control radio resources across base stations. It introduces a "RadioVisor" controller that manages resource allocation for different network slices through a 3D resource grid. Slices can be defined and configured flexibly for attributes like operator, device type, or application. The RadioVisor aims to enable more efficient sharing of radio access networks among different operators and traffic types.

The document proposes a transparent offloading architecture using a new programmable accelerator (ASIP) to accelerate virtual network functions. The ASIP uses a tunable architecture and instruction set extension with a tailored compiler to optimize functions like coarse deep packet inspection. Experimental results show the ASIP approach reduces run time by 98% and increases throughput by 50x compared to without acceleration, while maintaining low power dissipation. The document concludes that designing an optimal instruction set that harmonizes with x86 environments can reduce the costs required for acceleration.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
