2021-02-03 - ONAP: Special Session - Development and Evolution of Intent-based Network in ONAP

Development and Evolution of Intent-based Network in ONAP

Intent-based Network is viewed as a promising technology to support the smart applications of next generation networks. In recent releases, several requirements have been proposed to develop IBN in ONAP. Therefore, we organize this special session to introduce and discuss the developments, applications and evolutions of IBN. 6 topics are provided:

Topic 1: Intent-driven 5G Slicing Applications in ONAP - Development and Evolution

Topic 1 Description: Intent-based Network is applied to support the smart applications of 5G Slicing. The progress of REQ-453 Smart Operator Intent Translation supporting R8 5G Slicing and the further evolution of Intent-driven 5G Slicing are introduced in this presentation.

Topic 1 Presentator: @Dong Wang, China Telecom

Topic 2: Intelligent Slicing  Requirements and Roadmap

Topic 2 Description: Intelligent slicing as part of E2E Network Slicing requirement was introduced in Guilin release and have realized first try in RAN domain. in this presentation, you will get the overall roadmap of the exploration in Intelligent slicing , what we have done in Guilin release and what else we would  try to involve in Honolulu and future releases.

Topic 2 Presentator: @LIN MENG, CMCC @Swaminathan Seetharaman, Wipro

Topic 3: Intent Framework and Intent Modeling

2021-02-03 - ONAP: Intent Framework and Intent Modeling

Topic 3 Description: Intent technology helps to implement and operate networks that can improve network availability and agility. It can be viewed as one of most promising solutions towards autonomous network. This topic will introduce a general-purpose intent framework, which may contain intent management, intent translation, intent decision and execution etc. In ONAP R8, the requirement will provide the internal reference architecture and interacting with other ONAP components, and also introduce intent modeling for specific use cases.

Topic 3 Presentator: @wangyaoguang, Huawei

Topic 4: Intelligent management of use cases with ONAP

Topic 4 Description: Intelligent management of use cases with ONAP

Topic 4 Presentator: @Benjamin Cheung, Nokia

Topic 5: Standardization activities of Intent-Based Network

Topic 5 Description: This presentation will briefly introduce the standardization activities of Intent-Based Network in different international SDOs such as ETSI, IETF, ITU-T and so on. It will provide a detail review on existing works and illustrate the basic idea of varies published or ongoing international standards in the recent years.

Topic 5 Presentator: Dr. Huan Deng, Standardization Expert, China Telecom

Topic 6: The Progress of IBN Academic Research

Topic 6 Description: This talk covers the topics on the new progress of IBN academic research, focusing on the architecture, key technologies, potential use cases, and a demo of IDN will be shown based on the hardware platform.

Topic 6 Presentator: Dr. Shi Yan, Assistant Professor, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT)
