1 Future Internet Research and Experimentation - FIRE Jacques Magen FIRE STATION: Canada-EU Future Internet Workshop – 23 March 2011

Benefits of FIRE for Europe The FIRE initiative creates an open research environment, which facilitates strategic research and development on new Internet concepts giving researchers an instrument to carry out large-scale experimentation on new paradigms 2

FIRE has two interrelated dimensions: Experimentally-driven long-term, visionary research on new paradigms and networking concepts and architectures for the future internet FIRE Research FIRE Experimental Facility Requirements Validation Research Large Scale Experiments Building large-scale experimentation facilities to support both medium- and long- term research on networks and services by gradually federating existing and new testbeds for emerging or future internet technologies FIRE: Future Internet Research and Experimentation

10 OpenFlow in Europe - Linking Infrastructure and Applications Objectives: To create a unique experimental facility that allows researchers to not only experiment on a test network but to control the network itself precisely and dynamically The OFELIA facility is based on OpenFlow, a currently emerging networking technology that allows to virtualize and control the network environment through secure and standardized interfaces OFELIA

11 Smart Santander Objectives: To build a unique-in-the- world city-scale experimental research facility in support of typical applications and services for a Smart City More than 20,000 sensors based on a real life Internet of Things deployment in an urban setting

The FIRE “Use Cases” (1) Some ideas of what the existing testbeds have been used for: FEDERICA has been used for experimenting with a multi-domain, multivendor network resource brokering system (called “Harmony”) OneLab2 has been used for experimenting with a distributed (over 50 sites) overlay routing system for a wide variety of network applications ranging from routing to peer-to-peer file sharing (called “Egoist”) Panlab – PII has been used for experimenting with end-to-end self- management in a wireless Internet environment, adaptive admission control and resource allocation algorithms, and enhanced Web TV services over mobile phones WISEBED has been used for experimenting with two physically distant sensor networks that were combined into one single virtual network

The FIRE “Use Cases” (2a) Some ideas of what the new testbeds could be used for: BonFIRE is open for experiments that pose state-of-the-art research challenges in Cloud Computing. For example: Dynamic Service Landscape Orchestration for an Internet of Services QoS-Oriented Service Engineering for Federated Clouds Elasticity Requirement for Cloud Based Applications CREW has 4 wireless testbeds across Europe, with advanced spectrum sensing solutions. These can be combined to allow industry and academia to evaluate wireless protocols and/or hardware in a controlled environment OFELIA has 5 testbeds across Europe that create a distributed OpenFlow infrastructure of multi-layer and multi-technology. The experimental facility will offer access to diverse technologies, including Ethernet, optical and wireless domains. The islands are connected by multiple 1GE links to the GEANT network

The FIRE “Use Cases” (2b) Some ideas of what the new testbeds could be used for: SmartSantander has a unique city-scale experimental research facility that supports typical sensor (IoT) applications and services for a smart city TEFIS has a Web portal that provides a single access point to different testing and experimental facilities. Initially, the TEFIS platform integrates 7 complementary experimental facilities, including network and software testing facilities An example of a typical Use Case is a large scale SOA application for a huge travel-business eCommerce platform accessible both from Websites and Web Services

Status of International cooperation A Chinese partner in TEFIS, OneLab and MyFIRE A Japanese partner in OneLab2 Regular links to Korea NanoDataCenter, Onelab2 and ResumeNet involve Australian Partners TEFIS and MyFIRE include a Brazilian Partner A Russian partner In MyFIRE An Indian partner In MyFIRE PanLab/PII involves a Canadian partner OFELIA, ResumeNet And CONECT involve US Partners

International cooperation under way EU/Japan The 3rd EU-Japan Symposium on Future Internet and New Generation Networks took place in October 2010 in Finland between the European and Japanese participants. A possible usage of FIRE facilities in Japanese research projects and vice versa is now foreseen. EU/ US On 1 October 2010 the 1st FIRE-GENI meeting took place in Brussels (further to many previous interactions). A joint experiment has been proposed: Large scale sensor deployments in both US and Europe, connected by programmable broadband network along with cloud computing services. EU/Brazil A Call for Proposal has just closed –now expecting projects to start soon EU / Canada: to be discussed!
