This workshop explores the future of next-generation networks in the IST Programme, focusing on interoperability, management, and services. It discusses the multiplicity of operators and service providers, convergence, deregulation, and the increasing critical dependency of the global economy on telecommunications.

Integrated infrastructure • Interoperability and integration of heterogeneous networks • fixed-mobile and wireless ( IPV6, Mobile IP etc…) • protocol inter-working(Voice over IPv4/IPv6, Video/MPEG interoperability) • Multi-domain adaptive network management: • dynamic management of resource (spectrum, ..) • self-aware self-organising wireless networks • active networks • Evolution to high speed access • optical WDM • hybrid fibre/cable/wireless
eEurope • Objectives • Bringing every citizen home and school, every business and administration into the digital age. • Creating a digitally literate Europe supported by an entrepreneurial culture. • Ensuring the whole process is socially inclusive. • Action plan aiming at 2002. • Actions on Commission and member states • Underlying objective of creating an Information society for ALL has longer term perspectives...
eEUROPE Action Plan • Objectives: • A cheaper, faster and secure Internet • Investing in people and skills • Stimulate the use of the Internet • Some of the actions of the 1st Objective are: • Give increased priority to supporting the development of information infrastructure and projects. • Move towards full conversion to IPv6 through pilot implementation in Europe. • Work towards introducing greater competition in local access networks. • Achieve significant reductions in internet access tariffs.

WP2001 General features • Budget: from 950 (in 2000) to 850 MEuro: Need for further concentration • ‘Ambient Intelligence’ remains the focus • Additional precision with the Key Enabling Technologies • Emphasis on high-risk/high-reward and medium to long term • Reduction of the number of action lines • Same overall structure and Al’s format as in 2000
KA4: Outline • 19 RTD, 4 separate take-up, 1 training • 23 +12 in WP2000 • Further focus by reducing the number of Als and the description of each AL • New ALs spanning the Key Action: • Design of networked embedded systems • Multiservice networks - middleware for seamless access to services • Better integration of fundamental/basic research • Streamlining/grouping of take-up activities
KA4 main themes • Networked embedded systems and devices in adaptive networks • Interoperability among heterogeneous networks and their increased capacity, agility and functionality • Systems-on-a-chip and reuse of IP blocks for ICT terminals, sensors, communication systems and networks • Seamless access to and provisioning of services • Augmented human/system interaction
CPAs - Focus • Address topics common to several Key Actions • themes of strategic nature • bringing together fragmented areas • supporting aspects of integration and convergence • Provide an additional perspective to proposers • Defined by Action Lines in the workprogramme • Section 5 of workprogramme • Resources available …. ~12% of the IST budget
CPAs: Action lines • Home environments • Multi-sensorial, multi-modal and multilingual interaction • GIS • Dependability • Smart cards • Next Generation Networking • Socio-economic impact and indicators • eLearning for youth in the digital age • Grid computing and challenging applications • Regional pilot actions and demonstrations for the new economy • Nanotechnology and applications in health, environment,.. • Applications Service Provision • Advanced Digital Signal Processing and applications

IV.1.2 Multiservice networks - middleware for seamless access to services Issue: generic requirements on infrastructures and technologies for seamless service delivery Aim: make service access independent of underlying network, user location and terminal Scope: fixed, mobile, wireless, satellite networks signalling, mobility management, QoS, link-optimisation bandwidth + resource optimisation adaptive and ad-hoc networks (self-aware, self-organising) protocol interworking, inter-networking handover
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability, interworking and management (i) Issue: seamless interoperability among heterogeneous networks Aim: improve capacity of networks to interoperate and support advanced (interactive, nomadic,..) services and applications Scope: network gateways and protocols integration: fixed/mobile, hybrid fibre/cable interoperability: access/core, home/access QoS support, Service Level Agreements, accounting
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability, interworking and management (ii) Issue: flexible control over networks and network services Aim: dynamic optimisation of network resources to assure service transparency in a multi-domain context Scope: active network management harmonised approach to network management dynamic reconfiguration of network elements for service deployment and support
Juxtaposition : IV.1.2 and IV.2.2 Context: Heterogeneity and the need for interoperability IV.1.2 Services + applications (interworking, transparency) IV.2.2 Networks (interoperability, management)
