_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The G-Lab project aims at the development of future Internet technologies which overcome the challenges posed by new Internet applications with high demands on the Internet infrastructure. For that purpose it relies on both experimentation and theoretical research work in a complementary manner. The G-Lab consists of a Germany-wide research and experimental facility [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Catalunya Connecta is the deployment plan for infrastructures of electronic communication services of the Government of Catalonia. This plan has enabled universal access to new telecommunications services to citizens, administrations and the Catalan business, providing coverage of digital terrestrial television services, mobile and broadband, al least in the villages of more than 50 [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY HeerlenLive is a different approach to new media and the urban space putting the citizen in the centre of the city media landscape. We see new media as a logical part of the city, both the physical as the virtual city. Heerlenlive has created a platform. Based on a fiber network, we have [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Imaginlab is a telco grade Next Generation Network which is dedicated to experimentation. All the technologies involved in ImaginLab are the pillars of Future Internet for telecommunication operators, broadcasters, content providers, application developers and end users. ImaginLab targets are Interoperability and Compliancy Testing as well as Product and Services Usability Testing. ImaginLab promotes [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY SensLAB is a very large scale open wireless sensor network testbed. It provides automation tools to remotely deploy and easily experiments, assess and analyse results produced both by the user’s experiments and by the monitoring facilities offered by the testbed. In its current implementation, fully operational, SensLAB is based on the deployment of [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY webinos envisions web applications running on and utilizing resources across a range of connected devices, interacting seamlessly with each other to contribute to the development of the Internet and facilitate users with more attractive, innovative and valuable applications. To fulfil its vision, webinos will has defined and delivered an Open Source Platform which [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Wireless technologies such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) currently complement Internet access broadband technologies, forming the last hop to the end-user. This has given rise to highly densed networks in urban environments which can be evolved to a new level by developing networking mechanisms that allow adequate resource management and a future Internet architecture [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Video traffic is a major challenge for the future Mobile networks and is not efficiently supported by the current Internet architecture, which was not designed taking its requirements into account. To address this issue, the EU project MEDIEVAL is developing an evolved mobile Internet architecture for efficient video transport that provides improved quality [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY I2Web is a research project that aims to enable an accessible Future Internet for people with special needs (especially people with disabilities and older adults). From a socio-economic standpoint accessibility and usability issues are becoming critical, considering the demographic change worlwide. For instance, according to the UN 2006 Revision of World Population Prospects, [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Access to the Future Internet will be dominated by wireless devices. The resulting explosive traffic growth challenges the sustainability of mobile networks. EARTH is a concerted effort with partners from industry, SME and academia addressing improvements of the energy efficiency of mobile communication infrastructure. The overall goal is to derive solutions that together [...]
ceFIMS (FP7-258542) is funded by the European Commission’s 7th Framework Information Sociey Technologies (IST) Programme, in Objective 1.1 The Network of the Future.
The ceFIMS project addresses fragmentation of ICT research between European Member States. ceFIMS is gathering knowledge of Member State-funded research to work towards consensus on problems and approaches at the Member State level.
ceFIMS will produce a research roadmap to maximise synergies between EU and Member State investments in Future Internet research, establishing the basis for an ERA-NET+ on the Future Internet.
