main characterising points of FIRE

• Integration of projects in a sustainable environment for investigation and experimentation of new (evolutionary and revolutionary) paradigms

• Empirical, experimentally-driven character of the research (not just paperwork)

• Bottom-up approach, multidisciplinary, considering the internet as a complex system

experimentally-driven research

a) Building the Experimental Facility and stimulating its use (Call 5, 25 M)prototype of the FIRE experimental facility at different stages of the R&D cycle based on

'open coordinated federation of testbeds'.

• large scale experimentation with and comparison of visionary approaches for network architectures and technologies, service architectures and platforms, networked media and trustworthy infrastructures for the Future Internet; experimentation with systems based on cross-layer or non-layered approaches; direct involvement of user communities; assessment of the socio-economic and environmental impact of changes to the Internet. The facility should be dynamic, sustainable, open at all levels and based on open standards...

– a1) FIRE Components: 20% for gradually expanding the functionality of the prototype…

– a2) FIRE Users: 20% for extending the use of the experimental facility for research groups that propose innovative usage scenarios…

b) Experimentally-driven Research (Call 5, 20 M)

• Visionary multidisciplinary research, defining the challenges for and taking advantage of the Experimental Facility above, consisting of iterative cycles of research, design and large-scale experimentation of new and innovative network and service architectures and paradigms for the Future Internet from an overall system perspective.

• Research should consider the Future Internet as a complex system and therefore address all the associated aspects in a holistic vision and at all relevant levels and layers. This includes the definition of relevant metrics as well as taking into account energy, low cost, environmental or socio-economic aspects...
