Speaker Profile :  https://academy.apnic.net/en/profiles/imtiaz-sajid

The core of this training revolves around Segment Routing over IPv6 Data Plane (SRv6), providing practical insights into its principles and applications. Through hands-on lab demonstrations, participants will deepen their understanding by seeing theoretical concepts put into practice. To ensure maximum benefit from the training, we recommend that participants come with a solid understanding of routing concepts and experience with dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP. Prior knowledge of MPLS and MPLS-based services will also be helpful in grasping the context and potential use cases of SRv6.

This session combines the efforts of the Agriculture Working Group (AgWG) & Rural Hybridization, focusing on agricultural and rural information research, such as IoT, networking, Web Services, and other relevant technologies, shared through the APAN network. This session aims to expand development, innovation, and collaborative activities with other related working groups in agriculture, fostering partnerships and initiating new cooperation opportunities for the future. The session will be held in 3 slots: 2 coordinated by the Japanese side (MAFFIN, supported by Dr. Ninomiya) and 1 coordinated by HII, Thailand, as usual. Presentations will include activities by Japanese research institutions related to ICT and private sector projects applying ICT technologies to agricultural production.

In 2018 APRP WG was established at APAN 48 at the Singapore Meeting

APRP WG develops technologies to provide AI-based computing environments and various computing resources by linking distributed HPC systems, establishing a stable big data highway system based on NREN in the big data era, and promoting related research collaboration in the Asian region.

There will be an introduction to various projects derived from APRP WG, their current status, and the related advanced application research areas at this APAN59th meeting. In addition, there will be an introduction to the latest technology trends centered in the US (NRP, GRP, etc.) and the current status and future work of 100G networks in the Asian region.

This hands on training session will guide participants through the steps to required to connect a service to eduGAIN enabling it to be accessed by potentially millions of researchers, academics and students globally.

Once connected we will provide options for restricting access to the desired audience based on information provided by the users organization and to users who have meet higher levels of assurance.

This side-meeting invites trust and identity professionals and federation operators to come together and strengthen the regional trust and identity ecosystem. During the meeting we aim to discuss the mutual needs of research and education identity federations worldwide, the meeting will provide a platform to discuss shared challenges, opportunities, and priorities for collaboration.
The session will focus on the unique needs of the Asia-Pacific region, including the development of access and identity management technologies, policies, and processes. Participants, including representatives from National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and national identity federations, will explore ways to align regional efforts with global best practices, share insights into local implementations, and identify strategies to improve interoperability and scalability.

Proposed Agenda:
Welcome and Introduction: Overview of other regional strategies and current priorities.
Regional Updates: Insights from national identity federations and NRENs in the Asia-Pacific region.
Panel Discussion: Addressing shared challenges in trust and identity—scalability, policy alignment, and interoperability.
Breakout Sessions: Collaborative brainstorming on technical, policy, and process improvements.
Action Planning: Defining next steps for regional initiatives and alignment with other region’s strategic directions.
