DEP: Shift of management paradigms in light of Cloudification, Softwarization and Artificial Intelligence

Organizers/moderators:
Young-Tak Kim, Yeugnam University, Korea
Rolf Stadler, KTH, Sweden

Panelists:

 

Alexander Clemm, Futureway, USA
Gabi Dreo Rodosek, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany

Jürgen Schönwälder, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany

 

Abstract:

Over the last decade, new concepts, taken and adapted from other areas, have been introduced to the network and service management field. These include cloudification, softwarization and the application of AI/ML. While cloudification and softwarization have proved successful and characterize many modern management solutions, AI/ML is still in the research and adoption stage. The distinguished expert panel (DEP) will discuss how these new technologies give rise to new management paradigms and to which extent they replace traditional management paradigms, some of which have their roots in the 1990s, such as MIB, FCAPS, policies, autonomic management, etc. The DEP will also discuss how changes in the industry landscape and the rise of new players like Google or Amazon enable or accelerate the paradigm shift.
