9Domain Next Generation Internet (NGI)
- From technology to network architectures and
services - The recent technological advances will lead to
exploitable innovative services once the
integration of these technologies through
innovative architectures is achieved. - Vertical and Horizontal Integration
10Horizontal integration
- From extremely small to immensely big
- Sensor networks, PAN, Ad-hoc networks, wireless
mesh networks, access to infrastructure networks - The IP networking model is no longer applicable
- Ubiquity, Mobility, Context Awareness, etc.
- Vertical roaming
- Seamless inter-working, transparent and dynamic
adaptation of the used technology - End to End services availability in a
Multi-domain context - Operated and spontaneous domains (e.g. based on
mesh networks) - From multiservice networks towards multi-network
services
11Vertical Integration
- Multi-layer networks
- Unified control and management planes
- Multi-layer routing, protection, restoration,
etc. - Cross-layer design of physical, MAC and upper
layers including innovative air interfaces,
optical packet/burst switching, etc. - Services Overlays

12Domain Next Generation Internet (NGI)
- Technology diversity explodes
- Requirement to deal with the corresponding
complexity - Instant high bandwidth connectivity
- Future high-speed wire-line and wireless access
technologies - Makes difficult to forecast traffic and thus to
apply existing traffic engineering methods. - Investigation is required in new multi-technology
architectures. - It is understood today that new design, planning,
dimensioning and management principles are
needed. - The design of those architectures is a
multidisciplinary problem requiring a variety of
competences.
13Main addressed topics
- In this context, the main topics addressed by the
NoE are - Overcoming the challenge of technology diversity
(vertical and horizontal integration) in the
design of efficient and flexible FGI
architectures - Providing innovative traffic engineering
approaches adapted to the new requirements and
developing the appropriate quantitative methods
for analysis, simulation and measurement

31Strengthening Collaboration with Industry a main
target
- From the list of main targets in the contract
with the European Commission Consolidating
collaboration with industry, especially with
SMEs, through a durable partnership programme
implying strong commitments from both sides,
supported by an industrial club.
SME Small-Medium Enterprises
32Industrial Club, Members benefits
- Preferential access
- to the outcomes of the network as well as to the
documents prepared by the network - Preferential exchange
- with the start-up incubators of the partners of
the Network - Invitation to the network events
- free of participation fees
- Influence the strategic decisions of the network
- including research topics to cover
- Request the targeted tutorials
33Industrial Club, Members benefits
- Access participation in experiments, tools
- specific experiments on the Euro-FGI platforms
- to the software and tools developed by the
network - Consultancy
- Euro-FGI could commit on providing a certain
amount of person days of expert consultancy to
the members of the club - Standardization
- Euro-NGI contributes to and can provide support
to standardization activities - This will promote the take-up of new technologies
- by facilitating the transfer of innovative
technologies to and from European companies and
research institutions.
34Euro-NGI and SMEs
- Euro-NGI acknowledges the important role of SMEs
- as fast moving, technological highly innovative
entities. - SMEs, however, may be short of specific research
resources in order to complement their own
competences. - An efficient interface
- between SMEs and the available competences of the
Euro-NGI network is being organized - The SMEs will take advantage of
- the global and unified view of the field and of
the main technological trends provided by the
documents the network is producing. Indeed, - SMEs usually dont have enough internal resource
to afford this type of analysis and synthesis.
35Euro-NGI and SMEs
- Contractual issues
- may be a major obstacle for the cooperation
between university researchers and SMEs. - The network can support the cooperation by
providing help, e.g. in terms of fair contract
templates with regard to IPR issues. - Another objective of this activity is to collect
and arbitrate requests for exchanging - students, researchers and staff people between
SMEs and the academic members of the consortium. - Example Support sabbatical stays of researchers
within SMEs or co-advisory of students with SMEs.
36Industrial Club, Euro-NGI benefits
- Technological transfer will be in both
directions, - the club will help in transferring Euro-NGI
results to the applications world - The contribution in building the networks
technological roadmap - Win-win situation
37Industrial Club, IPR
- There are provisioned mechanisms to protect IP
Rights for all sides included (Industry,
Consortium Partners) - Legal issues would be analysed and workout on
request
38Invitation
- Collaboration with external colleagues and
organizations is one of our main targets - We will be very glad to discuss with you about
possible synergies - You are kindly invited to attend our various
events - Conference, Workshops, Summer School, etc.
- Web site and Contacts www.eurongi.org
39Conclusions

- through the web site,
- publications database,
- Summer School,
- Conferences and workshops and
- several contacts and partnerships.
40Conclusions

45Objective
- Improving the competitiveness of European
industry and enabling Europe to master and shape
future developments in ICT so that the demands of
its society and economy are met. ICT is at the
very core of the knowledge-based society.
Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific
and technology base and ensure its global
leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate
product, service and process innovation and
creativity through ICT use and ensure that ICT
progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for
Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and
governments. These activities will also help
reduce the digital divide and social exclusion.
46Three ICT Challenges for ICT Researchers and
Engineers
- 1. The converged communication and service
Infrastructure that will gradually replace the
current Internet, mobile, fixed and audiovisual
networks. - 2. The engineering of more robust, context-aware
and easy-to-use ICT systems that self improve and
self-adapt within their respective environments. - 3. The increasingly smaller, cheaper, more
reliable and low consumption electronic
components and systems that constitute the basis
for innovation in all major products and service.
47Four Challenges Driven by Socio-Economic Goals
- 4. Digital libraries, knowledge and content
development tools and applications that will help
us preserve, develop and disseminate our cultural
assets, improve our learning and education
systems and strengthen the creativity of our
society. - 5. ICT tools for sustainable Health systems
enhancing our ability to monitor our health and
well-being and to treat major illnesses and
diseases. - 6. Intelligent and safe vehicles and technologies
environmental sustainability and energy
efficiency that are key requirements of our
citizens. - 7. ICT systems and applications for better
inclusion and independent living of all citizens.
48Future and Emerging Technologies Activity
- 8. The Future and Emerging Technologies activity
will continue to foster trans-disciplinary
research excellence in emerging ICT-related
research domains. - These 8 challenges are present in the call
- expected to remain largely valid well beyond this
first work programme as they express aims to be
achieved in a 10-15 years timeframe
49Funding Schemes
- 1. Collaborative projects (CP)

development of new visions and in transforming
them into business assets. - Community research programmes in ICT provide
major opportunities for SMEs to - finance high-risk, early-stage research and
development - build strategic partnerships
- operate outside their local markets with higher
value innovative products and services - SMEs constitute an important part of the ICT
research consortia together with large companies,
universities, and public research labs. - Community financial contribution may reach a
