Title：Newly Proposed Signaling Based Service Provision Concept for Ubiquitous Grid Networking Environment
Abstract：With the advance of ubiquitous society including IPv6, it is expected that everything will be connected to the network. Then, a ubiquitous grid networking environment (uGrid) has been proposed. In uGrid, everything is defined as ”Service-part” and several Service-Parts are combined to provide new service for users. We propose ”Service-Signaling” which is a new service provision based on signaling protocol. In proposed network, software program functions having IP address are defined as Service-Parts in addition to hardware devices. Service-Signaling is marked by both interconnecting some Service-Parts and providing the desired service for users. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposal, we experiment in interconnecting Service-Parts. In the experiment, RSVP-TE extension is employed.

Title: Reducing Network Power Consumption Using Dynamic Link Metric Method and Power Off Links
Abstract：As the high-speed network technologies developing,
the traffic in the Internet increase rapidly. The network power consumption has come up to 10% of the worldwide energy consumption. In order to reduce this kind of consumption, we propose a novel method, which dynamically modifies the weights of links and makes traffic gather to certain links and then set some links of which the load no traffic Powe-Off. We also did much work in the network simulations, and the result shows that the method has a good effect in reducing the network power consumption.
