Future Internet Research & Experimentation (FIRE+) Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+

1. Future Internet Research & Experimentation (FIRE+)Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+ H2020-ICT/FET National Contact Points Training 23 October 2013

2. Agenda • FIRE challenges to be addressed in WP2014-15 • ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ • ICT 12 – 2015: Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+ • Expected Impact • Where else can I find FIRE?

3. FIRE challenges in WP2014-15 FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) • Build a Strategic Experimental Infrastructure (FIRE+) • Controlled and replicable conditions for experiments • Seamless experimentation regardless of geography • Affordable access for small- and medium-size innovators • Real-world prototyping and experimenting environments • Reap benefits from similar initiatives around the world.

4. ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ Research & Innovation Actions • Collaborative projects for the creation, reconfiguration and/or extension of experimental infrastructures • Experimentation leveraging GÉANT • Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS) • Virtual Experimentation • Ad hoc, on demand federation and reconfiguration of facilities • At least 50% of funding for selecting users, experiments, etc.

5. ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ (cont.) Innovation Actions • Ideas for prototyping and experimentation, testing and validation – from identification to actual experimentation • On top of FIRE+ and in real world environments

6. ICT 11 – 2014: FIRE+ (cont.) Coordination and Support Actions • Identification of European, national and regional experimental facilities for integration into FIRE+ • Roadmap: future needs for advanced networking experimentation • International cooperation: concrete, reciprocal actions in short- and medium-term with US GENI & preparation for multilateral experimentation and federation around the world.

7. ICT 12 – 2015: Integrating experiments & facilities in FIRE+ Research & Innovation Actions • Integration of experimental facilities from Call 1 into FIRE+ • Experimentally-driven research on top of existing experimental infrastructures in any of the areas under Call 1 • At least 50% of funding for selecting users, experiments, etc. Innovation Actions • Technically mature experiments for close-to-market products, applications or services (SME participation – EIT)

8. (Additional) Expected Impact • Cover a variety of networking technology areas • Achieve economies of scale and RoI on infrastructure • Reduce the time to experiment • Impact other application areas, e.g. Connected Smart Cities • Contribute to standardisation and interoperability • Enable SMEs to access FIRE for innovative experimentation • Promote innovative applications and services, close-to-market, short-term, focused, mature ideas.

9. Where else can I find FIRE? • In other (mainly Future Internet) specific challenges • ICT 5 – 2014: Smart Networks and Novel Internet Architectures • ICT 10 – 2015: CAPs for Sustainability and Social Innovation • ICT 14 – 2014: Advanced 5G Network Infrastructure for the FI • ICT 19 – 2015: Technologies for creative industries, … • In ICT cross-cutting activities • ICT 30 – 2015: Internet of Things and Platforms for Connected … • Under International Cooperation activities • EUB 3 – 2015: Experimental Platforms • EUJ 4 – 2014: Experimentation & development on federated testbeds
