Federated E-infrastructure Dedicated to European Researchers Innovating in Computing network Architectures

Project description


Deployment of e-Infrastructures for scientific communities

The FEDERICA project has the following main objectives:
- Support research experiments on new Internet architectures and protocols,
- Create a versatile, scalable, European wide "technology agnostic" infrastructure, separated from the production networks, but with the possibility to interoperate,
- Be open to host researchers hardware and applications,

FEDERICA adopt the paradigm that "the infrastructure is the network". The traditional model of core and edges is replaced by a quasi-homogeneous network, where each node is defined according to its functions, rather than through its position and the logical and node functions topology can be easily changed. The infrastructure can be adapted to whatever the user wants it to be. Particular features are:
- Simultaneous use by more than one research group,
- Availability of the infrastructure for Call1 Network of the Future and Call2 FIRE,
- Exploiting the excellent networking facilities that are available in Europe.
\t
The project will network, in terms of:
- Facilitating technical discussion amongst specialist,
- Providing preliminary information and results for the next generation of the NREN networks, and link with GEANT2 and as a pre-experimental phase for GEANT3,
- Contributing with real test case and results to standardization bodies, e.g. IETF, ITU-T, OIF, IPsphere.

Research will be undertaken to:
- Understand and produce initial solutions on management and control of distributed, parallel, virtual networks which may communicate between them and with the general Internet,
- Develop experience and a model for managing and using virtual infrastructures as a combination of networks and systems,
- Open the infrastructure to any "application" type (application can be a test),
- Use, test and advance the tools and services being developed by GN2, NRENs and partners, in particular for end-to-end services,
- Enable the graceful implementation of new inter-domain service layer.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
