Flash Talks:

  • CESNET NOC - Petr Hanousek
  • Mobile App Network trAffic Nutrition fActs (MANANA)  - TBD- Giuseppe Acteo, UNINA

    End-users of mobile applications hardly know which enterprises and countries are involved in their online activities, and the implied rights and risks. Researchers and regulators need actual usage data to verify data sovereignty compliance. MANANA aims at providing the former with understandable characterisations of infrastructure usage, and the latter with a monitoring system of actual mobile apps usage. The user will be enabled to choose among similar apps and report her data exposure (providing visibility to authorities). The app and the collection server will be released as open-source. MANANA is a project from the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, funded by GÉANT's Innovation Programme.

What are the challenges of using the cloud for the NOCs?  How far have we gone for network monitoring? What happens when the cloud does not work? These and other questions will be the seed for an open discussion with the aim to share information, ideas and expectations around the "NOCs on cloud".

12:15 - 12:45TBD
