Future Internet Research & Experimentation (FIRE+) Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+ H2020-ICT/FET National Contact Points Training 23 October 2013

Agenda  FIRE challenges to be addressed in WP  ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+  ICT 12 – 2015: Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+  Expected Impact  Where else can I find FIRE?

FIRE challenges in WP FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation)  Build a Strategic Experimental Infrastructure (FIRE+)  Controlled and replicable conditions for experiments  Seamless experimentation regardless of geography  Affordable access for small- and medium-size innovators  Real-world prototyping and experimenting environments  Reap benefits from similar initiatives around the world.

ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ Research & Innovation Actions  Collaborative projects for the creation, reconfiguration and/or extension of experimental infrastructures  Experimentation leveraging GÉANT  Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS)  Virtual Experimentation  Ad hoc, on demand federation and reconfiguration of facilities  At least 50% of funding for selecting users, experiments, etc.

ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ (cont.) Innovation Actions  Ideas for prototyping and experimentation, testing and validation – from identification to actual experimentation  On top of FIRE+ and in real world environments

ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ (cont.) Coordination and Support Actions  Identification of European, national and regional experimental facilities for integration into FIRE+  Roadmap: future needs for advanced networking experimentation  International cooperation: concrete, reciprocal actions in short- and medium-term with US GENI & preparation for multilateral experimentation and federation around the world.

ICT 12 – 2015: Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+ Research & Innovation Actions  Integration of experimental facilities from Call 1 into FIRE+  Experimentally-driven research on top of existing experimental infrastructures in any of the areas under Call 1  At least 50% of funding for selecting users, experiments, etc. Innovation Actions  Technically mature experiments for close-to-market products, applications or services (SME participation – EIT)

(Additional) Expected Impact  Cover a variety of networking technology areas  Achieve economies of scale and RoI on infrastructure  Reduce the time to experiment  Impact other application areas, e.g. Connected Smart Cities  Contribute to standardisation and interoperability  Enable SMEs to access FIRE for innovative experimentation  Promote innovative applications and services, close-to-market, short-term, focused, mature ideas.

Where else can I find FIRE?  In other (mainly Future Internet) specific challenges  ICT 5 – 2014: Smart Networks and Novel Internet Architectures  ICT 10 – 2015: CAPs for Sustainability and Social Innovation  ICT 14 – 2014: Advanced 5G Network Infrastructure for the FI  ICT 19 – 2015: Technologies for creative industries, …  In ICT cross-cutting activities  ICT 30 – 2015: Internet of Things and Platforms for Connected …  Under International Cooperation activities  EUB 3 – 2015: Experimental Platforms  EUJ 4 – 2014: Experimentation & development on federated testbeds
