14
iLab Global Strategy
Focused to ensure critical mass and to be best of class in Europe and competitive worldwideTargeted towards promising research areas with strong industrial relevance Connected locally to industry and IBBT groups and globally for worldwide collaboration
15
iLab Global Strategy
Open to industry residents
Future proof by designFlexible and adaptable to support a range of research projects (GBO, ISBO, EU, bilateral, IWT, etc.)
Sustainable with regard to human resources and recurrent investments
16
iLab Today
Support of research activities within a range of projects
Collaboration examples:GBO – ISBO: Coplintho, E-Paper, FIPA, IPEA, MADUF, GeoBIPS, TR@INS, Armad@, T-Case, WBA, MCDP, …, QoE, VINO&O (IWT, bilateral): IWT-Champ (Alcatel), IWT-OSLU (Newtec), IWT-Easy-Wireless (Televic), NIKOEuropean: MUSE, NOBEL, Citizen Media, Phosphorous, Integrail, MagnetResidents: NIKO, VRT, Porthus
17
iLab Today
Generic infrastructure applicable in many projects (e.g. test equipment: Smartbits, NX2, Optiview, Avalanche, Opera; terminals/ networks/ servers)
Ad hoc infrastructure to support specific projects (e.g. cubes GeoBIPS, DVB-H Maduf, Satellite OSLU, Home gateway NIKO) Also (partially) funded by companies

Next Generation Internet: GENI
GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations): www.geni.netGENI is an experimental facility being planned by the NSF, in collaboration with the research community. It's goal is to enable the research community to invent and demonstrate a global communications network and related services that will be qualitatively better than today's Internet Infrastructure budget : 350 M$, 2009-2013 (includes development of infrastructure)Research on top of GENI funded by e.g. NSF program FIND (Future Internet Design)
