      NWA in Diagnostics, Testing, Troubleshooting and Service Restoration  
         
    09.00 Diagnostic Signatures: Adaptable Automations for Connected Devices  

Focusing on the evolution of embedded diagnostic automation at Cisco and illustrate how Diagnostic Signatures will be used to turn traditional static intellectual capital into programmatic, executable automations that provide real time access to relevant and actionable troubleshooting data.  A case study demonstrates the effectiveness of this signature-driven approach to automating network diagnostics.

David White, Technical Leader, Cisco
 
         
    09.30 Discussing Infrastructure Test Optimization  

Showing how automation is in fact part of a larger ecosystem, where investment, in equipment and time, is optimized for overall business success.  Introducing the concept of ITO, or Infrastructure Test Optimization, which subsumes the concept of automation as applied to network testing.

Dr. Todd Law, Product Manager, Spirent Communications
 
         
         
    10.00 Service Automation for Network Insight
 
Automation of today’s modern networks requires fine coordination of a lot of different things: various types of device, back end systems, data bases, and the human beings that have to interpret what is going on.  Describing how Juniper Networks has architected an end to end service automation solution for its products that goes from auto-inventory and self-diagnostics in the device, to data collection and correlation, automated service ticketing and troubleshooting assistance.

    10.30 COFFEE BREAK  
         
      NWA in Design, Planning and Engineering  
         
    11.00 Automating Network Management with Adaptable Network Intelligence Tools  

Showing how customers can use network management tools to automatically generate their network intelligence reports and diagrams. Demonstrating how the customization framework in the solution enables users to easily codify and tailor reports and diagrams.

    12.00 LUNCH  
         
      NWA for Network and Service Configuration  
         
    14.00 Automatic Multilayer IP and transport Network Design  

Describing MIND (Multilayer IP-over-transport Network Design), a multilayer optimization program capable of generating an IP topology to satisfy a given IP traffic matrix so that can survive any single fiber cut in the transport layer, while minimizing the total network cost of both layers.
Discussing several examples with different cost functions, and the performance of the program in finding an optimized combined IP and transport solution.

      NWA and Ongoing Operations  
         
    14.30 From Commands to Code - What NETCONF (and maybe SDN) means for your Network Operations  

Providing experiences with equipment vendors and operators. Giving examples of existing solutions including the IETF NETCONF protocol with associated YANG language as well as other emerging solutions including REST.

Carl Moberg, Tail-F
 
         
         
    15.00 Critical Orchestration and Automation Tasks in the Carrier Cloud  

Describing a set of pre-configured orchestration tasks as well as intelligent algorithms to create and adapt cloud services taking into account a view of network parameters, e.g., through the ALTO protocol. Discussing these orchestration and automation tasks necessary for a powerful competitive carrier cloud service offering.
