ITU Centre of Excellence elearning course: “NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing”
ITU Centre of Excellence elearning course: “NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing”, 27 May – 23 June 2014
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Centre of Excellence (CoE) node at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, will conduct eLearning course on
“NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing”
from 27 May to 23 June 2014,
within the framework of ITU Centre of Excellence Network for Europe, and it will be delivered through the ITU Academy: http://academy.itu.int/moodle/.
Head/Coordinator of ITU Centre of Excellence at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies in Skopje is Prof. Dr. Toni Janevski (tonij@feit.ukim.edu.mk).
This course will focus on NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing from technology, regulation and business aspects. It will cover the NGN standardization by ITU, including fixed and mobile broadband as basis for NGN, as well as NGN architectures. Further, the course will cover NGN services, including QoS (Quality of Service) and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for NGN deployments. Also, it will include VoIP (Voice over IP) and IPTV services over NGN, Internet of Everything (including Web of Things and Internet of Things), VPN (Virtual Private Networks) in NGN, IPv6-based NGN, migration scenarios from legacy networks to NGN, as well as business approaches and regulation for NGN. Further, the course will cover Future Networks as defined by ITU, including network virtualization, Software Defined Networking (SDN), and smart ubiquitous networks. Also, it will include Big Data issues, OTT (Over The Top) service providers (Skype, Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) vs. Telco service models, impact of M2M in the future, as well as convergence of regulation towards Future Networks. Finally, the course will incorporate Cloud Computing, including ITU's framework, cloud ecosystem, architectures and cloud service models (Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS, Platform as a Service - PaaS, Software as a Service - SaaS), cloud security, OTT cloud services, Telco cloud implementations, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) services and applications, as well as business and regulation aspects for Cloud Computing.
This course is targeted at managers, engineers and employees from regulators, government organisations, telecommunication companies and academia, who are interested in understanding, implementation and regulation of NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing, including technologies, standardization, regulation and content. Other institutions and individuals that are dedicated in building their capacity related to NGN, Future Networks and Cloud Computing are also welcome to participate.
For formal Letter of Invitation for the ITU CoE elearning course all interested parties should contact Prof. Dr. Toni Janevski (tonij@feit.ukim.edu.mk), latest by 26 May 2014.
