Future Internet as a Complex System Cross-layer, multidisciplinary, system approach Need for testing on the experimental facility

Visionary research on Internet protocols, architectures and services

Open, bottom-up approach Not necessarily backward-compatible Multidisciplinary, allowing cross-fertilisation, e.g. bio-

inspired principles, evolutionary concepts, economic principles, …

Experimentally-driven research Not just paperwork: research, theories must be based on

testbeds and data-driven experiments

Allowing identification of potential evolutionary transition paths

Next: Expanding the concept & building the facility

• Expand to include service architectures

• Support experimentation cutting across layers

• Enable socio-economic impact assessment

• Broaden involvement of large user communities

• Support sustainability• Develop the facility in

close cooperation with FIRE research projects

• Join forces in Europeand collaborateinternationally

A federation is a union comprising a number of partially self-governing regions united by a central ("federal") government under a common set of objectives.

Interconnection of two or more independent testbeds for Creation of a richer environment for testing and

experimentation Increased multilateral benefits of the users of the

individual testbeds Normally geographically dispersed Owned by different organisations.

However, considered as being part of a single resource Dynamic and evolve over time based on the requirements

of the users

Common objectives – Added value!

FIRE Facility the core of the European and global testing market

High-quality test centre, trustworthy partner and an integral part of European R&D in FI/NWGN

Reference point to the standardisation of the sector Neutral and independent Versatile services, well-productised activities, fast

processes, open but can be walled as needed Good, well-reasoned and quality enhancing control Incubator of new innovations Autonomy of resource providers ensured

From Serge Fdida, Panayotis Antoniadis andTimur Friedman

What do I want to achieve?

Test a proposition, e.g., Technology New service End user acceptance A new business hypothesis (e.g., business model) A new regulatory approach

with given objectives Openness of results

Exclusive IPR

Integration into larger facilities (for increased testing purposes)

Scale of experiment

Diversity of environment, e.g., locality, technologies, …

A means to the (customers') ends! Is A Facility…

…A collection of test beds (each individually governed)?

…A collection of test bed federations?

…A single test bed federation? Or is it a toolkit to support the customers' needs with the

ability to

Build a federation that match the objectives at hand

Build on working test beds but also allow to integrate its own

Apply technologies proven to work (to a certain extent)

Rely on a community of researchers and practitioners dealing with similar (testing and research) problems?

Provide a facility to the consumer that constitutes a toolkit of methods and abilities by

Building on a proven basis PlanetLab Europe (PLE) is a working federation

of test beds PlanetLab (PL) provides a proven and evolving

platform basis for experimentation PL has gathered a large community of

experimental researchers worldwide to rely on Building (and federating) actual test beds Building a toolkit that helps customers in

experiments

Current federation policy: “peering”• Users from both facilities have the same access rights over the whole infrastructure•Both facilities apply the same local policy

But other federation policies are under investigation

We may have to constrain access of PLE users to the private PlanetLab.

Virtualization: Run concurrent experiments, support services

Monitoring: Collect data and make them available Legal: Responsibilities and liabilities, IPR, … Benchmarking: Assessment of the results produced,

reproducibility Security: Robust and secure facility Economics: Of the facility, for the users, the operators,
