UKTIN Network Management Expert Working Group

The UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) Network Management Expert Working Group reviews management functions in telecoms systems, focusing on understanding how new emerging trends and the interconnection of systems will lead to new management models.

Management is a very broad topic combining mature technology and processes with innovations needed to cope with emerging disruptions to network structures, the services networks deliver, and the users or machines that use them.  As well as management of the network itself, therefore, new techniques will be developed for the management of identity and authentication, automation and the entire end-to-end delivery chain.

Across the telecoms landscape, the group explores themes around decentralisation, mobile networks, private networks, business models and web 3.0.

Working in close collaboration with leading academic and industry experts, the UKTIN Network Management group will address a range of key issues and questions.
