NeXtworking 2007 Workshop on Future Internet Architecture

该奖项为2007年4月19日至20日在德国柏林举行的未来互联网架构NeXtworking 2007研讨会提供资金。研讨会有三个主要目标：。确定网络研究的挑战：研讨会的重点是确定必须解决的主要研究挑战，以导致未来的互联网架构，解决当今网络的许多挑战和未来技术的有前途的能力。确定实验设施的需求：一个密切相关的目标是调查实验设施在支持研究中的作用和这些设施应该拥有的能力，以及记录现有研究试验台的优势和局限性。促进欧盟和美国研究人员之间的合作：通过将欧盟和美国的研究人员聚集在一起，研讨会将为联合研究建立更牢固的联系，包括组织在设计方面的共同努力，特别是未来实验设施的联盟。研讨会的目标是网络领域的关键研究领域，由来自欧盟和美国的顶尖研究人员代表，重点是未来网络架构的需求，而不是对成熟研究成果的总结。研讨会的组织者是Christophe Diot（汤姆森），Serge Fdida（巴黎大学），Anja Feldmann（柏林理工大学），Jennifer Rexford（普林斯顿大学）和Ioannis Stavrakakis（雅典大学），Jennifer Rexford将负责NSF的资金，Scott Kirkpatrick负责成本为研讨会提供的30,000欧元。在讲习班结束后，组织委员会将向成本-技术协会（欧盟）和美国国家科学基金会（美国）提交一份报告，并将通过讲习班网站和任何有关资助机构的网站向与会者和其他人公开。研讨会的重点是设计一个值得社会信任的未来互联网架构的智力挑战（在重要指标方面，如可扩展性、可靠性、安全性、可管理性、可用性和其他所谓的x - ity），并扩展最终用户可用的功能（包括对移动性和大量无线和传感器设备的支持）。在NSF，这些研究挑战是FIND（未来互联网设计）计划的核心。此外，研讨会还将讨论评估新建筑理念的工具和技术，包括建模、仿真和连接多个实验设施的实验工具和技术，以实现更大规模的评估。更广泛的影响：互联网对国家和世界的经济、政治和社会福祉的重要性怎么强调都不为过。该研讨会将在概述未来互联网设计的更大研究议程方面发挥重要作用。此外，该研讨会将使欧盟和美国的研究人员在网络研究和全球实验设施的设计和操作方面进行强有力的合作，以评估新的网络架构。

This award funds a joint COST-IST (EU) and NSF (USA) NeXtworking 2007 Workshop on Future Internet Architecture held on April 19-20, 2007, in Berlin, Germany. There are three main objectives for the workshop:. Identifying networking research challenges: The workshop focuses on identifying the main research challenges that must be addressed to lead to a future Internet architecture that addresses the many challenges of today's networks and the promising capabilities of tomorrow's technologies.. Identifying requirements for experimental facilities: A closely related goal is to investigate the role of experimental facilities in supporting the research and the capabilities these facilities should have, as well as documenting the strengths and limitations of existing research testbeds.. Facilitating collaboration between EU and US researchers: By bringing together researchers from the EU and US, the workshop will build stronger ties for joint research including organizing joint efforts on the design, and particularly the federation, of future experimental facilities. The workshop targets key research areas in networking represented by premier researchers from the EU and USA, with an emphasis on the needs of future network architectures rather than summaries of mature research results. The workshop organizers are Christophe Diot (Thomson), Serge Fdida (U. Paris), Anja Feldmann (TU-Berlin), Jennifer Rexford (Princeton University), and Ioannis Stavrakakis (University of Athens), Jennifer Rexford will handle the NSF funding and Scott Kirkpatrick is handling the 30,000 Euros that COST is providing for the workshop. After the conclusion of the workshop, the organizing committee will furnish a report to the COST-IST (EU) and NSF (USA) and will make it publicly available to participants and others via the workshop Web site and any relevant funding-agency Web sites.Intellectual MeritThe workshop focuses on the intellectual challenges of designing a future Internet architecture that is worthy of society's trust (in terms of important metrics such as scalability, reliability, security, manageability, usability, and other so-called X-ities) and expands the capabilities available to end users (including support for mobility and large numbers of wireless and sensor devices). At the NSF, these research challenges lie at the heart of the FIND (Future INternet Design) initiative. In addition, the workshop will include discussion of tools and techniques for evaluating new architectural ideas, including modeling, simulation and experimental tools and techniques for connecting multiple experimental facilities to enable larger-scale evaluation. Broader Impact: The importance of the Internet for the economic, political, and social well-being of the nation, and the world, cannot be overstated. The workshop will play an important role in outlining a larger research agenda for the design of a future Internet. In addition, the workshop will enable a strong collaboration between EU and US researchers in networking research and the design and operation of global experimental facilities for evaluating new network architectures.
