Large future internet research programs such as GENI, FIND, and FIRE are under way that will have a global impact on the current and future internet. Experimental facilities and testbeds are needed to support both revolutionary and evolutionary approaches for re-thinking and improving the internet architecture. The resource federation framework proposed by the authors makes available multi-domain testbeds providing heterogeneous crosslayer infrastructures for broad testing and experimentation purposes. Currently, it is unclear how new concepts and ideas developed by the future internet research community can be integrated into production systems while preserving infrastructure operator investments. Service oriented experimental facilities are required that integrate technologies and concep ts across various domains and layers and actively incorporate different market players. In this article, we briefly introduce the network domain federation model as the basis and architectural mindset for the Pan-European Laboratory (Panlab) concept, introduce technical architecture refinements, and outline first implementation results.

With the emergence of smart home environments, services are constantly subject to changes, seeking the customer's full satisfaction. Enriching these services with innovative approaches such as context-aware, mobile, adaptable and interactive mechanisms, enables users to experience a variety of personalised services seamlessly across different platforms and technologies. Moreover, considering advertising as the enabler for next generation services, it is important to explore its integration into new domains. This paper, therefore presents a framework approach to address advertising solutions focusing on smart home environments, enriching the overall user quality of experience. In addition, by over viewing the current smart homes market scenario, it provides the vision to overcome the established advertising paradigms focusing on key points like user privacy protection, online social networks and reality mining technologies.
