Their application is not any more limited to be the infrastructure for telecommunication. More than before, they are a cross cutting function, which should consider any requirements for innovation in a plurality of different disciplines in our information society. This leads to a diverse set of requirements for applications ranging from real-time 3D video for medical applications, over smartphone apps and online games to energy networks (smart grid) and machine-to-machine communication. The growing use of Internet technology as a basis allows supporting different services in one network. However, the provisioning of necessary resources and the control of such diverse services is very limited in today's IP networks. Network as a Service describes a concept to operate (virtual) communication systems of different characteristics on the same infrastructure. Based on the above described paradigm shift, the following research topics are in my focus: Support of emerging communication requirements for intelligent infrastructures including Industrial automation systems and robotic environments Automotive systems and vehicular communication Smart Grid Data centers Next generation mobile communication systems Flexible, dynamic Internetworking (Network Virtualization, Software Defined Networking, Network Functions Virtualization) Cooperative communications (Device-to-Device Communications, Selforganization, Peer-to-Peer Networking) Techno-economics driven network planning and design Application-driven network resource management (Cross-layer Design) Besides that, I am active in IETF and 3GPP standardization in the area of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), IP Multimedia System (IMS) and Mobile Network Traffic Management (e.g., 3GPP SA1 UPCON).
