Future internet research and experimentation

Abstract

The research community worldwide has increasingly drawn its attention to the weaknesses of the current Internet. Many proposals are addressing the perceived problems, ranging from new enhanced protocols to fix specific problems up to the most radical proposal to redesign and deploy a fully new Internet. Most of the problems in the current Internet are rooted in the tremendous pace of increase of its use. As a consequence there was little time to address the deficiencies of the Internet from an architectural point of view. Within FP7, the European Commission has facilitated the creation of European expert groups around the theme FIRE "Future Internet Research and Experimentation". FIRE has two related dimensions: on one hand, promoting experimentally-driven long-term, visionary research on new paradigms and networking concepts and architectures for the future Internet; on the other hand, building a large-scale experimentation facility supporting both medium- and long-term research on networks and services by gradually federating existing and new testbeds for emerging or future Internet technologies. By addressing future challenges for the Internet such as mobility, scalability, security and privacy, this new experimentally-driven approach is challenging the mainstream perceptions for future Internet development. This new initiative is intended to complement the more industrially-driven approaches which are addressed under the FP7 Objective "The Network of the Future" within the FP7-ICT Workprogramme 2007-08. FIRE is focused on exploring new and radically better technological solutions for the future Internet, while preserving the "good" aspects of the current Internet, in terms of openness, freedom of expression and ubiquitous access. The FIRE activities are being launched in the 2nd ICT call, which closes in October 2007, under the FP7-ICT Objective 1.6 "New Paradigms and Experimental Facilities" (budget ε40m). Projects are envisaged to start in early 2008.

FORGE Toolkit: Leveraging Distributed Systems in eLearning Platforms

“…person, place or organization) is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and can be linked to any other data item, forming a gigantic Web of Data graph. In general Linked Data is being used by companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to enhance web search, 2 by Facebook to support the linking of social media resources 3 and by the BBC to support the delivery of online news content. 4 Regarding the learning assessment methods, there are different tools for qualitative and quantitative evaluation, such as surveys and learning analytics, respectively [18].…”

“…The most prominent have been Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) [2] and Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) [3] initiatives in the US and Europe, respectively. These projects first focused on the deployment and management of large federated networking testbeds for the development and experimentation of Future Internet technologies, also allowing non-networking academics and researchers to use these facilities.…”

Exploring the Next Generation Network Architecture based on SDN

“…SDN technology can be realized by API [5], which enables the program to control the network structure in the basic layer. SDN also paves the way for the enterprises to use the mixture cloud, provides the management and safety while applies the data center constructed by the third party providers and partners network together.…”

Security and Ddos Mechanisms in Internet of Things

“…This revolution makes every and each tool to communicate with each different and fabricate new future net. This new idea of future internet is known as Internet of Things [1]. Every device from mobile telephone to automobile, alarm clock to coffee machine will become related to net with open trendy IPv6 allowing specific addressing schema for them.…”
