Speaker Bio

Michiaki Hayashi is a general manager of infrastructure technology research department of KDDI Corporation. Currently, he is responsible for research of infrastructure technologies, including all-photonic networks, data center networks, green transformation, network management, quantum computing, and space communications. Relevant standardization and forum activities in IOWN Global Forum, ITU-T, ITU-R, TM Forum also fall into the responsibility. Prior to the current position, he was responsible for designing KDDI IP/MPLS backbone network, and enterprise network. He was also engaged in commercial developments of all photonic network protection system and long-haul transmission systems for submarine cable systems. In his career at KDDI Research Inc. for 20 years, he was engaged in research and development of optical signal processing, unified control plane for IP-Optical, network virtualization, and AI-based network management.

Through his career of developing network technologies, he committed to standardizing network resource control architecture and relevant signaling protocols in ITU-T SG13, SG11, and Focus Group Future Network. He served ITU-T as an associate Rapporteur of Q5/11 in study period 2009-2012. During his commitment to the standardization of signaling protocols, he served as a chief editor of the Recommendation of an inter-operators QoS protocol (i.e., Q.3307.1: Resource control protocol No. 7 Protocol at the interface between inter-domain policy decision physical entities). He also actively contributed to the standardization of resource and admission control architecture in next generation networks (i.e., Y.2111) discussed in SG13, ITU-T. Recently in SG13, he led establishment of new work item “Y.L2E2net-frm” which defines the framework of all-photonic network inspired by the IOWN Global Forum concept.
