      The Network Automation Transformation and Beyond  
         
    09.45 Automating the Design Process 

How can automation improve designing a network/service?
Surely the formal structure automation requires hinders the design process.
Or could automation help get to the design holy trinity: quicker service delivery, lower design cost while maintaining quality?

David Gethings, Juniper Networks
 
         
    10.15 From Walking to Running: Advanced Automations  

Focusing on key aspects that enable more powerful automations and can span across multiple devices and multiple technologies. Best practice recommendations are provided along with real-world examples that enable new and innovative network capabilities.

Joe Clarke, Cisco
 
         
    10.45 COFFEE BREAK  
         
    11.15 No Need to Run from Design Complexity  

Today's businesses are demanding network agility and availability, while lowering the TCO. By designing and deploying the network from a central repository, complexity can be made manageable allowing you to create networks without compromise. This also touches on the multi-vendor discussion.

Eric Yspeert
, CTO & Co-founder, NetYce
 
         
    11.45 Going Beyond Network Automation: The Road towards Autonomic Networking  

Introducing Autonomic Networking, discussing its characteristics and properties, and comparing it with traditional network automation concepts. Outlining that making network elements “autonomic” with an abstract “intent” and “objection” interface reduces the overall network complexity because of massively reduced dependencies between the administrator or NMS system and the network itself.

Bruno Klauser, Consulting Engineer, Cisco
 
         
    12.15 LUNCH  
         
      NWA for Network and Service Configuration  
         
    14.00 Scalable Configuration Management using NETCONF and YANG  

Network providers are challenged by new requirements on fast and error-free service turn-up. This is blocked by current configuration approaches by CLI scripting or lock-in by commercial tools based on device-specific adaptors. Describing a management solution based on the IETF standards NETCONF and YANG to address the configuration management challenges and showing that it greatly simplifies the configuration management integrations towards devices and still provides good performance.

Carl Moberg, VP Marketing, Tail-F
 
         
    14.30 Network Automation based Embedded Event Manager (EEM)  

Enhanced parser integration, allowing users to simulate new IOS commands.      
Automatic port configuration, based on device identity.
Enhanced EEM Applet actions; demoing a lightweight on box AAA server. 

Joe Clarke, Cisco
 
         
         
    15.00
Murray Cooke, Intel Managing Software Defined Networks

Reviewing recent developments with Virtualised Networking components and OpenFlow and showing how existing IT and Network management systems could evolve to support the required distributed processing cloud infrastructure at “carrier grade”.  

Murray Cooke
, Network Computing Architect, Intel
 
         
    15.30 COFFEE BREAK  
         
    16.00 PANEL  
         
      Who is the Network Automator?
