_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY As the move towards convergence of communications networks gains momentum, the academic and industrial research community is increasingly focussed on the evolution of networking technologies to enable the “Future Internet.” However, we believe that addressing evolution of networking technologies in isolation is not enough. Instead, it is necessary to take a holistic approach [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Currently, obtaining reliable, contractually guaranteed WAN connectivity increases connectivity price by orders of magnitude. This project focuses on a concept called Redundant Array of Inexpensive Internet Connections (RAIIC) which aims to provide a more economical alternative that would have equivalent capabilities to existing reliability solutions. The concept is based on the idea that [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The project turn the small city in the northern part of Sweden, ”Skellefteå”, to a ”smart city” – connected with sensors to measure, monitor, communicate and more efficiently allocate resources to provides better services for the citizens and use energy more efficiently. The project support local SME’s in cooperation with municipality and research [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Network Asturcón is a fibre optic access network to home (FTTH), with GPON technology that, for its characteristics and performance, is at present among the most advanced in the world and it is the pioneer of being simultaneously public, neutral and of high capacity. Network is operated by a public neutral operator [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ 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 We develop a holistic concept for Smart Houses situated and intelligently managed within their broader environment. Intelligent networked ICT technology for collaborative technical-commercial aggregations enables Smart Houses to communicate, interact and negotiate with both customers and energy devices in the local energy grid so as to achieve maximum overall energy efficiency as a [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The current way of using the Internet differs greatly from the initial ideas that sprouted 40 years ago. Wireless, mobility, new ways to produce, consume and share content and social networks all have put new requirements on the future Internet. In the SAIL project, through Network of Information, we are looking at new [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Reservoir was a pioneering project which defined, developed and validated the fundamental building blocks of cloud computing infrastructures, including infrastructure elasticity, cloud federation and and flexible deployment of services across federated clouds. The European Commission has explicitly referred to Reservoir as its ”Flagship Project on Cloud Computing Research.” (see http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/ssai/newsletter-march2011_en.html). _____________________________________________________________________ KEY OUTPUTS/RESULTS [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The main objective of IRMOS was to enable real-time interaction and collaboration between people, using distributed multimedia applications running on top of a cloud infrastructure, where processing, storage and networking are delivered with guaranteed levels of service. This has been successfully achieved. The IRMOS approach and technical solutions constitute a new generation of [...]
_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Future Internet (FI) technology offers unique opportunities for transport and logistics (T&L) industry to address pressing challenges associated with international freight transport, including business efficiency, competitiveness and environmental sustainability. To address those challenges, FInest (an EU FP7 Future Internet PPP use case project) leverages FI technology to the benefit of all T&L partners, [...]
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.
