    ETSI FNT workshop

    In September 2011 (26-27 September) ETSI held its second workshop on Future Networks Technologies at Sophia Antipolis, France. This event aimed at identifying potential needs for standardization or pre-standardization of Future Network Technologies. L. Ciavaglia, from Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs France, gave a presentation on “Unified Approach to Trust in Autonomic Networks and their Management”. This presentation is available here.

     

    Future Internet Assembly

    The FIA is the opportunity to strengthen collaboration between projects that have recognised the need to reinforce European activities on the Future Internet. The forum is organized twice a year under the aegis of the European Union.

    The UniverSelf project initiated and co-organized 3 sessions to the FIA Poznan event, Poland which was held on 25-26 October 2011.

    Session 1.1 on Value creation, value flows and liability over virtual resources

    Presentations are availaible here.

    A video of the session may be found here.

    Session 1.4 on Building a Trust Framework for Future Internet Services and Infrastructures

    The 1.4session summary is available here.

    Session 2.4 on Architectures

    Presentations are available here.  

     

    There has been also a session on Standardization in which UniverSelf contributes through the activities in the FIA Standardization working group.

    Session 1.3 on Standardisation

    Presentations are available here.

     

    The event report may be found here.

     

    Questionnaire on Trust in autonomics

    UniverSelf project kindly asked to an expert group to answer and comment a questionnaire on trust and autonomic behavior. The expert group list is available here.

    Future Network and Mobile Summit 2011

    The FUNEMS  2011 was organized jointly by the UniverSelf, One and OneFIT projects.

    Future Network and MobileSummit 2011 took place in the Historical City of Warsaw, Poland, 15 - 17 June 2011 (http://www.futurenetworksummit.eu/2011/).

    UniverSelf had a strong presence in the conference week with 4 papers in the regular and poster sessions, and with a workshop jointly organized with the OneFit (www.ict-onefit.eu/) and ONE (http://www.ict-one.eu/) projects on Federation (Friday 17/06 AM). 

    Federation workshop:

    The workshop discussed the different approaches that are being investigated in the ICT FP7 projects OneFIT, UniverSelf and One. The aim is to work out how this problem can be solved, how networks and their management can be federated using the approaches investigated in the three projects. The aim of the workshop is to exploit complementarities between the approaches and to identify any potential omissions when looking at the whole network from access, core to backbone.

    The report of the Federation workshop may be found here.
