ABSTRACT

The main achievement of SmartFIRE is the design and implementation of a shared experimental facility spanning different testbeds, which are platforms located in Europe (EU) and South Korea (KR) and offered for conducting transparent and replicable testing of networking protocols and technologies. The federations on the experimental and control plane respectively mean the development and operation of simplified and user friendly interfaces, which take charge of the orchestration of the experimentation over all testbeds, as well as the reservation and provision of the resources of all testbeds. Based on the individual experimentation capabilities of these testbeds, the main SmartFIRE goal was to operate an extended federated facility in KR and EU that could combine the strong points of the independent testbeds towards a joint infrastructure that could efficiently provide more research abilities for experimentation. Future Internet is the breakthrough innovation that changes our society in terms of economic, social, entertaining, informational, governmental or daily aspects.
