The “It Just Is” Networking 2020 Vision
Future Network Stimulus:
Raised Expectations
The It-Just-Is Network:
• Connectivity happens
• Optimised delivery happens
• Services happen

A mishmash of Collisions and Synergies
Goals and Aims
The Goal:
Provide future networks with
design methodologies
enabling technologies that promote
flexible, agile, dynamic and self-evolving networking
A Network capable of coping with unforeseen demands
The Aim:
identify those key socio-economic parameters that impact
future network design
Use these parameters to help identify suitable technologies to
promote desired future network properties
Develop a network design methodology that promotes selfevolving flexible IJI networking

Objectives & Contributions
Provide socio-economic understanding of tussles between
players in particular scenarios
develop requirements and
policies allowing dynamic
reconfiguration of systems and
networks and enabling the
mediation of tussles
support evaluation of
technologies for trade-offs and
investment decisions in the
context of flexible networks
