Objective

The Fed4FIRE+ project has the objective to run and further improve Fed4FIRE’s “best-in-town” federation of experimentation facilities for the Future Internet Research and Experimentation initiative. Federating a heterogeneous set of facilities covering technologies ranging from wireless, wired, cloud services and open flow, and making them accessible through common frameworks and tools suddenly opens new possibilities, supporting a broad range of experimenter communities covering a wide variety of Internet infrastructures, services and applications.
Fed4FIRE+ will continuously upgrade and improve the facilities and include technical innovations, focused towards increased user satisfaction (user-friendly tools, privacy-oriented data management, testbed SLA and reputation, experiment reproducibility, service-level experiment orchestration, federation ontologies, etc.). It will open this federation to the whole FIRE community and beyond, for experimentation by industry and research organisations, through the organization of Open Calls and Open Access mechanisms
The project will also establish a flexible, demand-driven framework which allows test facilities to join during the course of its lifetime by defining a set of entry requirements for new facilities to join and to comply with the federation.
FIRE Experimental Facilities generate an ever increasing amount of research data that provides the foundation for new knowledge and insight into the behaviour of FI systems. Fed4FIRE+ will participate in the Pilot on Open Research Data in Horizon 2020 to offer open access to its scientific results, to the relevant scientific data and to data generated throughout the project’s lifetime.
Fed4FIRE+ will finally build on the existing community of experimenters, testbeds and tool developers and bring them together regularly (two times a year) in engineering conferences to have maximal interaction between the different stakeholders involved.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Fed4FIREplus (Federation for FIRE Plus)

Reporting period: 2017-01-01 to 2018-06-30

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The Fed4FIRE+ project continues on the legacy from the FP7 Fed4FIRE project as being the top Internet and Network-related experimentation federation at this moment.
The Fed4FIRE+ project has the clear objective to run and further improve Fed4FIRE’s “best-in-town” federation of experimentation facilities for the Future Internet Research and Experimentation initiative. To achieve this, the project will:
- further exploit, enlarge and build a federated set of facilities
- aim for an open federation for experimentation by industry and research organisations, through the organization of Open Calls and Open Access mechanisms;
- continuously upgrade and improve the facilities and include technical innovations and increased user satisfaction
- create an open market-place for customers of testing services
The federation focuses on fixed and wireless network infrastructures, services and applications, and combinations thereof in the domains of cloud computing, big data analysis, media delivery networks, smart cities, 5G and Internet of Things (IoT). The project has established a flexible, demand-driven framework which allows test facilities to join during the course of its lifetime. During the course of this reporting period, already several new testbeds have either joined the federation or are working on compliant with the Fed4FIRE+ federation. These testbeds have joined via contacts with other research projects in the field.
The project is also building on Fed4FIRE’s existing community of experimenters, testbeds and tool developers and bring them together regularly (two times a year) in engineering conferences to have maximal interaction between the different stakeholders involved.
Fed4FIRE+ provides added value to its stakeholders: experimenters, testbed providers and partnering organizations and projects. For the experimenters this means easy and low cost access to a wide variety of different testbed facilities through a one-stop shop with first-level support. For testbed providers this implies reaching out to a wider and more diverse community, increased visibility and opportunity to add new enhanced functionality.
