The role of NESSI in the Future Internet

1. The role of NESSI in the Future Internet Frédéric Gittler, HP LabsNESSI SC ChairmanNEXOF-RA Chief Architect

2. Agenda • The Future Internet - a motivation for the NESSI Projects Summit • The Future Internet – as a partner for NESSI NESSI Projects Summit

3. NESSI Projects Summit • A new event • Addressing a new need • Emerging from 4 motivations • The community involvement and the research in NESSI • The Future Internet as a unifying environment for the ETPs and as a PPP proposed by the European Commission NESSI Projects Summit

4. 1st motivation - results • 2005 – NESSI’s vision • 2006 – NESSI’s SRA volumes • 2007 – NESSI’s research mechanism • 2008 – NESSI Strategic & Compliant Projects (NSPs & NCPs) • 2010 –first results of the NSPs and NCPs / individually and together NESSI Projects Summit

5. 1st motivation - results • NESSI Projects Summit – show how the strong coordination and coherence mechanisms leads to tighter integration of RTD and increase the long-term exposure of the results of our research • NEXOF is the hub for the collaboration NESSI Projects Summit

6. 2nd motivation – community engagement • From 2005 to 2010, NESSI community increased to 420 organisations • Split equally between industry and academia NESSI Projects Summit

7. 2nd motivation – community engagement • 28% of the NESSI organisations are involved in the NESSI research projects • This number is already significant • But how do we increase it? NESSI Projects Summit

8. 2nd motivation – community engagement • NESSI Projects Summit – positioned to increase the visibility towards both NESSI members and non-members • NESSI Projects Summit – working together to create new research opportunities NESSI Projects Summit

9. 3rd motivation – the emergence of Future Internet • 2006 - ETPs eMobility, ISI, NEM and NESSI identify the need for collaboration • 2006 – creation of the cross-ETPs working group • 2007 – Future Internet identified as a convergence topic for the ETPs, providing end-to-end scenarios NESSI Projects Summit

10. 3rd motivation – the emergence of Future Internet • The Future Internet? • A unifying environment in which complete user oriented scenarios could be defined • An environment to which each ETP could contribute specific elements to instantiate such scenarios • The environment used to involve users • ICT 2008 : the Future Internet position paper by the ETPs NESSI Projects Summit

11. 3rd motivation – the Future Internet • NESSI Projects Summit –the Future Internet has emerged as the context in which NESSI can address the user needs NESSI Projects Summit

12. 4th motivation – the Future Internet PPP • An external motivation – driven by the European Commission • EU Communication – creation of a FI PPP • Introducing a certain level of confusion • What is the role of ETPs? • What type of research will be done at FI PPP level versus ETP level? NESSI Projects Summit

13. 4th motivation – the Future Internet PPP • NESSI Projects Summit –clarify the role of ETPs and specifically of NESSI in the context of the PPP NESSI Projects Summit

14. Agenda • The Future Internet - a motivation for the NESSI Projects Summit • The Future Internet – as a partner for NESSI NESSI Projects Summit

15. The Future Internet – a partner for NESSI NESSI • Technology oriented • Coordinated research • From existing results to mid & long-term Future Internet • Scenario oriented • Large scale pilots • Short to mid-term The Future Internet – building on the research topics and results of the ETPs NESSI Projects Summit

16. The ETPs- speeding up the Future Internet • The existence of NESSI and of all the ETPs active in the ICT domains is a major advantage for the Future Internet PPP – providing the PPP with a starting point that is advanced both in terms of communities and of coherent mechanisms. The Future Internet – taking advantage of the ETPs to speed up its deployment NESSI Projects Summit

17. The ETPs- speeding up the Future Internet • With the ETPs, the Future Internet PPP can speed up its results by building on existing communities, running projects that are already actively collaborating at results level, beyond collaboration at working group level. The Future Internet – taking advantage of the ETPs to speed up its deployment NESSI Projects Summit

18. NEXOF – a contribution mechanism to the Future Internet • NEXOF aims to enable the instantiation of specific service infrastructures addressing identified application needs. • NEXOF is constructed by NESSI Compliant and Strategic Projects and Open Contributions through a series of coherence mechanisms NESSI Projects Summit

21. NEXOF today • Operational & effective mechanism to allow projects to relate contributed results to others in a coherent, integrated, and accessible way • Architecture-level relationships • Results can be explored online on www.nexof-ra.eu NESSI Projects Summit

22. The Future Internet for NESSI • The Future Internet PPP provides NESSI with a great opportunity, and puts the role of NESSI Strategic and Compliant Projects at the forefront of this role. Building on the already impressive results of many of these projects, and moving forward in a coherent manner is at the heart of NESSI’s current and future operations. NESSI Projects Summit

23. The Future Internet for NESSI • The Future Internet has also given us an opportunity to reflect on what are our values for the time ahead of us NESSI Projects Summit

24. The Values of NESSI A strong Research coordination Sharing the vision through a Strategic Research Agenda Promoting strategic projects towards concrete and common results Providing a single access model to research results Implementing different portions of the NESSI vision through SW components including those integrating results from different sources (e.g. NSPs) Encouraging uptake through coordinated contributions to standardisation A Software & Services Community Engaging a critical mass from industry, SMEs and academia Focusing research on Internet of Services and Cloud Computing Pooling knowledge and making it accessible Sharing and building a vision Disseminating through dedicated events (ServiceWave, NESSI Projects Summit) Networking towards the creation of research projects in FP7 and other opportunities

25. This presentation’s “take away” • NEXOF • the only mechanism that implements a coherent environment to access research results from different horizons • The Future Internet • a major partner for NESSI to move towards pilots – and we will work with all of you to ensure that the community benefits from this opportunity through the creation of new research opportunities NESSI Soft Review
