The Use Case Working Group aims to envision the future use scenes possible through new
capabilities and new (component/system) technologies proposed by the IOWN GF. This Working
Group will work to develop varied use cases that are in line with the IOWN GF’s vision. Other
technology related Working Groups will be impacted as such Working Groups will consider the
research and development issues and as well as key performance requirements presented by
these use cases. This Working Group will help define the goals of the IOWN GF technology
development. [It is anticipated that this Working Group will not create any specifications,
including, but not limited to, Draft Specifications or Final Specifications.]

Technology Working Group Chair
Masahisa Kawashima
Head of Software Innovation Center
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation
Masahisa has been working for NTT for more than 20 years. As a bridge between technology and business, he
led several NTT's service and product developments. In 2009-2012, he led the renewal of NTT West's Wi-Fi
services to embrace the growth of smartphone traffic. In 2013-2017, he developed several products for NTT's
SDN and SDWAN services. Currently, he is leading R&D in computing including OS, DB, cloud, AI computing,
data management, and Post-Moore computing, as the head of NTT Software Innovation Center.
Description of Scope and Objectives Description of DeliverablesThe Technology Working Group aims at identifying technical domains, scopes and contents to be developed in the IOWN GF. When scope, content, interest, and participation of a particular technical domain become mature and sufficient, it is expected that it will spin off to become a separate domain-specific Working Group. The technology Working Group will guide the formation of domain-specific working groups for technology and specification development such as a Working Group focusing on optical signal processing and components, a Working Group focusing on distributed computing, a Working Group focusing on optical and wireless networking, a Working Group focusing on interface between device and network, etc. The Technology Working Group is responsible to set up the scope, the content and expected deliverables of the domain-specific Working Groups. The Technology Working Group may also conduct preliminary designs and evaluations on the identified technology domains in order to better guide the formation of the domain-specific Working Groups.

• A functional architecture for Data-Centric Communication and Computing infrastructure that is
designed around data, optimized for data efficiency, enriched for data and equipped with security, privacy
and data integrity features. The infrastructure should provide the following functions:
• event/data brokerage, which should accommodate very large data objects, very strict latency requirements, and a very large number of
subscribers and publishers
• controlling publisher’s data generation and injection based on overall system condition and the importance of the data
• processing, analyzing, and reducing data at network edge instead of sending all the data to the center cloud
• storing and sharing data among communication and computing nodes in the network
• precision time and/or geolocation stamping
• assuring data security, privacy, and integrity
• data life cycle management
• data brokerage between IP and non-IP nodes
• data brokerage accessible through multiple networks and/or networks service providers
• Protocols, interfaces, and data formats for the defined architecture

Note 1: Accelerating layer 4 and 3 may also require
updates on layer 2, e.g. dynamic resource reservation.
54
2. Full-Stack Communication Acceleration- Work Item List (Tentative) -
• A functional and implementation architecture for fast and efficient communication that can fully
exploit the speed of layers 2 and 1. This should include the following subitems:
• a data transfer protocol optimized for the instant transfer of large data objects, which should significantly reduce the negative
effect of distance and leverage ultra-broadband data link
• a communication stack for high-speed and low-latency communication between strongly interdependent two nodes, e.g. an IoT
controller and an IoT device, a main CPU node and a remote GPU node. (In such cases, layer 3 could be null or replaced with
a label switching layer.)
• efficient L3 and L4 processing that can address network virtualization and service insertion demands
• security, privacy, and integrity protection for the above
• fast end point authentication
• implementation architecture leveraging Silicon Photonics technologies
• A functional and implementation architecture for optical transport and radio access that can
accommodate demands for much higher capacity and speed
• Interfaces and protocols for the above

56
3. Computing Scaling Across Device, Edge, and Center Cloud- Work Item List (Tentative) -
• A functional and implementation architecture for computing scaling platform that goes beyond
inter data centers and expands into across device, network, edge and center cloud. Targeted at
dynamic linear computing scaling for various types of data and computing workloads. This should
include the following subitems:
• architecture for computing scaling platform for data-intensive computing requiring accelerator
• application design patterns of applications that run on the above platform
• method of creating a pool of data-intensive computing resources such as accelerators and persistent memories and sharing it
across data centers
• integration with the outcome of Full-Stack Communication Acceleration
• Interfaces and protocols for the above

4. Sustainable Growth with Energy Efficiency- Work Item List (Tentative) -
• A novel communication and computing architecture for event-driven computing and networking, where
energy consumption is roughly a linear function of the occurrence rate of an event, e.g. a human appearing
in the monitored area, such as:
• end-to-end network service model and architecture for event-driven communication among data source nodes and data consumers
• computing service model and architecture for event-driven data-intensive computing
• dynamic orchestration and resource scheduling mechanism supporting the above
• interface specifications for the above event-driven communication and computing
• A novel computing architecture for paradigm shift from traditional server-box-oriented computing to box-
less disaggregated computing on silicon photonics-based data plane. This should include the following
items:
• data plane architecture supporting a paradigm shift from NIC-to-NIC to module-to-module, i.e. direct data transfer between modules
without transiting NICs
• orchestration and operation systems for box-less disaggregated computing, where modules are dynamically reconfigured and assembled
to provide computing functions
• security and performance management mechanisms for the above
• interface specifications for the defined architecture

Summary
• Why we collaborate: People will benefit from smart world applications augmented with:
• Beyond-Human Cognitive and Communication Capacity
• Beyond-Human Response Speed
• Dynamic Linear Computing Scalability
• Much Superior Energy Efficiency
• Through collaboration, we will deliver a full-stack communication and computing architecture that
enables the above applications and ushers in the next era of compute and networking.
• How we accomplish our vision: IOWN GF will start its global collaboration with:
• Shift Toward Data-Centric Communication and Computing Infrastructure
• Full-Stack Communication Acceleration
• Computing Scaling Across Device, Edge, and Center Cloud
• Sustainable Growth with Energy Efficiency
