FIRE research workshop, a Future Internet Week event (May 16, 2011)

  • The first FIRE research workshop will be a full day workshop with focus on the experimentally driven research dimension of FIRE and in particular, to improve the visibility and the involvement of the experimental-driven FIRE projects as well as increase researcher attendance and their active participation to FIRE events and workshops. This should lead to a scientific and technical discussion forum that will allow projects and researchers working on similar subjects to share and challenge their ideas and results with their peers. By offering this opportunity the workshop aims at increasing the incentives for researchers’ participation, without intending to replace or compete with established research conferences and workshops.
  • For this purpose, a small scale forum will be implemented in the form of a workshop, which allows researchers to share and discuss their experimental research results and best practices by means of short, targeted and well scoped presentations. By structuring them by similar research topics or objectives (multi-media/content networking, wireless, self-adaptive/cognitive networks, routing system, etc.), researchers would be able to challenge, compare and contrast practices, methodologies, and in particular obtained results. More details are available .
  • Call for contribution. The FIRE research workshop expects your active contribution to form the agenda. Please visit http://wiki.ict-fire.eu and contribute to the development of the agenda. If you have any questions please contact us via contact@ict-fire.eu
  • Presentations. The presentations from the FIRE Research workshop in Budapest are now available at http://www.ict-fire.eu/events/fire-research-workshop.html.
The following selected sessions are of particular relevance for FIRE:
  • The Living labs and Smart Cities Conference on December 14 (09:30 - 18:00)
  • The FIRE Conference on December 15 (09:00 - 16:00): This conference includes an overview of the current portfolio of projects, presentations from existing facility providers and feedback from users about their experiences. There will be a presentation giving some ideas about testbed sustainability, and the Call 5 IPs will announce details of their first "Open Calls" for experiments.
  • The "FIRE Conference" on December 15 (16:30 - 18:30): "Internet Science". Given the (€5M) NoE proposal submission deadline of 18 January, this session is essentially an "open floor" for participants to discuss concrete multidisciplinary topics needing experimentation on FIRE. Short presentations by the audience are invited, and should be sent in advance to ICT FIRE. It is also an opportunity to network and interact with existing FIRE projects.
  • The Demonstration Evening on December 15 (18:30 - 21:00) will introduce the demonstrations that can be seen throughout the FIA event. Demonstrations from FIRE projects will be shown by: OneLab, Panlab-PII, Resume-Net, ECODE and CREW.
  • The FIA Session VI: Smart Cities and Future Internet Experimentation takes place on December 16 (14:30 - 16:30)
  • FIRE activities will be presented in the FIA Session X on 17 December (10:30 - 12:00). This session will contain examples of experiments that have been made on the existing facilities, and the Call 5 IPs will publicise their first Open Calls.
  • FIREWeek 2010: June 30 - July 1, 2010
