37、 applications Semantic and agent based service / information access and integration. Network and Service Assurance LaboratoryIn a nutshell, communication networking is about the economical sharing of network resources to satisfy customer demand for end-to-end service. A dictionary definition of assu

38、rance is: formal guarantee; a positive, confidence-giving declaration; certainty. So, in the context of communication technologies, service assurance relates to a customers experience of end-to-end communication across one or more networks. Typically this is expressed in some form of contractual agr

39、eement, or commitment, between the customer and the provider of the service. Network assurance relates to the efforts of the provider in ensuring that the underlying networks can support all these end-to-end commitments. Both network assurance and service assurance relate strongly to business value

40、through issues such as resilience, availability, quality of service, resource efficiency, cost reduction, and risk management. These issues are expressed in a plethora of activities, ranging from the evaluation of new networking concepts, protocols and mechanisms, through to the configuration, measu

41、rement and management of in-service networks. This can involve prediction of key performance indicators, capacity planning, what-if evaluation, failure analysis, network optimisation, decision support, and performance “health checks”.To address such a wide range of activities, a variety of tools and

42、 techniques are required: simulation modelling queueing theory traffic modelling and characterisation network algorithms and protocols measurement Very often, these techniques need to be used in combination to address the technical challenges relating to these issues. Three of the most important tec

43、hnical challenges facing networking today are: uncertainty of demand, (including both service characteristics, and use by a population) scalability (in terms of network size, user population, and timescales of behaviour), service integration (of multiple services over a shared infrastructure compris

44、ing many different technologies, yet with a need to maintain protection separation of one service from another) The Network and Service Assurance Laboratory has a long history in both analytical and simulation techniques for performance modelling and teletraffic engineering. These techniques have be
