18 SD-LANs for Smart Environments Self-Adaptive VO Chaining Potential internships Self-Adaptive VO Chaining = focus on IoT-based service self-management Self-built catalog of CoVOs, CoVO self-healing, (Co)VO self-recommendation We already defined a modeling framework based on attributed typed graphs (2015 internship) that we are using for IoT-based service classification 1. IoT-based service generator tool (CoVO generator) Objective: In order to consolidate and validate algorithms to classify IoT-based services (CoVOs), we need to automatically generate IoT-based service examples Expected realizations: Analysis of existing resources about IoT devices and IoT-based services, data models, SW design and development for the IoT-based service generator: exploitation of the existing resources, generation and handling of lot of instances of VO models for IoT devices and CoVO models for IoT-based service, development of a user interface for VO/CoVO representation/visualization, CoVO composition from VOs, output data file export for simulations Use case: exploitation of the generator tool to validate some of our CoVO classification algorithms Desired skills: Programming (C or Java), algorithm design, graph theory, simulations 18

19 Security and SDN Potential internship 1. Trusted path computation and enforcement in SDN Context: support security and sovereignty policies for the transfer of sensitive data Expected realizations: Specification/design of a SDN-based network application for trusted-path Implementation on a SDN controller (e.g., OpenDaylight) Experimentation on a SDN platform (with OpenFlow physical switches and Open vswitch virtual switches) Desired skills: Knowledge about SDN Knowledge about Open vswitch or OpenDaylight General questions: SDN/NFV in the RES master? Practice of Open vswitch / OpenDaylight? 19

20 IP Transport Intelligent Optical Networks Internship proposal 1. Leveraging monitoring information to design optical networks Context: data mining in optical networks Novel optical network design techniques based on the collection of information during network operation to anticipate any performance fluctuation.
