FIRE - Future Internet Research and Experimentation
So why do we need FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation)
because over thirty years the evolution of the internet has been driven by innovative
applications makes its management more and more complex
Why do we need to change?
observe this kind of a green whether we should just allow things continue as they are
or whether we need to consider starting again with radically new architecture - a clean slate
System for a technologists? No, that's not the point!
The future of the internet's now involves powerful cultural economic and societal dimensions
so we need to involve everyone in the future shape of the internet.
Where does the FIRE fit in?
FIRE is the federation of test beds that supports strategic multidisciplinary research on new
internet concepts
by bridging the gap between visionary research and large-scale experimentation. How does it work?
To be real support in Europe's exploration of future internet networks and services FIRE has to
grow it's integrated test bed prototypes carefully
More they help developers the more powerful test beds will become. Yes!
FIRE is growing by attracting new users whose visions and challenges drive a gradual improvement
and development of the test bed federation.
This collaborative approach also helps users to shape specifically to their needs
and profit from being early pioneers.
How does the process begin? It starts a long way from FIRE.
Can I use those test beds connected out to test them?
That is something the FIRE people are working on! Co-operating high-level federation frameworks.
It's surely quite complex
It is not only about networks, e.g. big area development on services area.
If FIRE wants genuinely to become a one-stop-shop for developers, surely has to
offer experimental facilities across all prospectives. You're right.
The internet is a fast three-dimensional mix of networks and services and FIRE is exploring
how new ideas can work: what is horizontal within system development on one level like a network but also
vertically across different layers from connectivity to all types of open services platforms
like the content delivery and the enterprise management. We want to see how one layer in the internet
affects to other layers within the whole system.
Simple then: All what I have to do is to Write an Email to connect@ict-fire.eu.
Yes, they are always happy to answer questions.
No matter how small.
However there is just one thing that I am looking for perhaps you have not done yet.
What is that? A visionary idea?
Yes, I am working on that..
