OpenLab brings together the essential ingredients for an open, general purpose and sustainable large scale shared experimental facility, providing advances to the early and successful prototypes serving the demands of Future Internet Research and Experimentation.

FI-WARE will deliver a novel service infrastructure, building upon elements (called Generic Enablers) which offer reusable and commonly shared functions making it easier to develop Future Internet Applications in multiple sectors. This infrastructure will bring significant and quantifiable improvements in the performance, reliability and production costs linked to Internet Applications – building a true foundation for the Future Internet.

The FI-PPP capacity building and infrastructure support action INFINITY – “INfrastructures for the Future Internet commuNITY”, through collaboration with organizations across Europe captures and communicates information about available infrastructures and any interoperability requirements and issues.

The BonFIRE (Building service testbeds for Future Internet Research and Experimentation) Project will design, build and operate a multi-site cloud facility to support applications, services and systems research targeting the Internet of Services community within the Future Internet. 

NOVI (Networking innovations Over Virtualized Infrastructures) research concentrates on efficient approaches to compose virtualized e-Infrastructures towards a holistic Future Internet (FI) cloud service.

Fraunhofer FOKUS has realized a distributed network surveillance solution for detecting paths of data packets through networks. The Multi-Hop Packet-Tracking permits to “track” packets in the network.

QoSMOS is an ICT FP7 Large scale Integrating Project running under Grant Agreement INFSO-ICT-248454. Coordinated by British Telecommunications plc in the UK it has 14 partners across Europe and one partner from Japan. Its objectives respond to an upcoming change of regulatory paradigm which is expected to enable future wireless communication systems to operate in shared or license-exempt RF spectrum, potentially also enabling opportunistic use of so-called white spaces in RF spectrum. 

In traditional telecommunication, various experts estimate that fraud accounts for annual losses at an average of 5% of the operators’ revenue and still increasing at a rate of more than 10% yearly. Hence, with the openness and low cost structure of voice over IP (VoIP)

TEFIS is a large-scale integrating project addressing the FP7 work programme objective ICT-2009.1.6: Experimental Facilities. It started in June 2010 and will run for 30 month including 12 partners.

A group of 17 leading European telecommunications service providers, IT corporations, infrastructure vendors and academic institutions have launched “UniverSelf” a research initiative whose goal is to overcome the increasing complexity of managing communication networks and enable their future growth by generating innovations in autonomic networking – technologies that enable networks to manage themselves.

CONSERN is an ICT FP7 Small or medium-scale focused research project running under Grant Agreement INFSO-ICT-2575542 from Jun 2010 to May 2012. Coordinated by University of Athens it has 9 partners across Europe. CONSERN aims at developing and validating a novel paradigm for dedicated, purpose-driven small scale wireless networks and systems characterized by a service-centric evolutionary approach introduced here as an energy-aware self-growing network. CONSERN has 9 partners across Europe.

G-Lab Deep is one of the 2nd wave G-Lab projects funded by the German BMBF and runs until February 2012. The project addresses issues related to the Future Internet and the provisioning of appropriate experimental platforms in the academic environment, with an emphasis on current work in the G-Lab framework. The main focus of the research is to convey the requirements that result from a concrete application layer workflow to the network layer.
