21. ROADMAP e-photon/one+ (a) develops its own roadmap vision in conjunction with EU national and IST projects [including COST etc] (b) organises an international workshop to swap and compare map visions and to edit strategic guideline documents with Japan/China/USA for example. Such activities will cover the Telecoms, Photonic Grids and possibly Interconnects, as represented by the Joint Projects. Deliverables D.D.4 [T0+14] Report outlining preliminary roadmap (following e-Photon/ONe+ discussion) D.D.6 [T0+24] Final roadmap

22. Roadmap Methodology Roadmap Phases 1. Baseline analysis (“where are we” -State of the art:-current technologies, R&D activities, standards -Current trends, users future goals and challenges 2. Visioning (“where do we want to go”) -Desired outcomes assessed through scenarios and case studies 3. Gap analysis (“what are we missing”) -comparison between vision and baseline -identification of missing technologies, barriers etc 4. Implementation -framework to implement the R&D actions required

23. Objectives Roadmap Title: Network Interoperability:-the role of Optical Technologies Rationale: Currently many different networks exist with:- differing administrative domains [eg regions], different technologies [eg IP/MPLS, ASON/GMPLS, Ethernet], between application and interfaces Issue: how best to ensure interoperability. Current statusa number of EU projects address in differing ways, eg GEANT, MUPBED, NOBEL, PHOSPHOROUS FP7: Emphasis on integration of wired +wireless Vision: Interoperability at different levels enhanced by optical technology

27. Final comments • E-photon/ONe+ has generated significant interaction between partners [joint papers, project proposals etc] and EU projects. • E-photon/ONe+ well recognised by major external research groups • seen as open (unlike other major EU projects) • provides a window into EU for [Japan, China, USA] • potential for global activity (eg overarching roadmaps) • All partners are involved in disseminating technical results • The WP is very well assisted by VDs and partners and achieved its goal with respect to : • Integration – Reaching Concesus- Spreading Excellence
