ABSTRACT
The Fed4FIRE project has established a European Federation of experimentation facilities and testbeds and developed necessary technical and operational federation framework enabling the federation operation. The main idea behind the Fed4FIRE Federation of testbeds is to enable easy and efficient usage of already available experimental resources by the entire research and innovation community in broad area of Future Internet and Communications Technologies (ICT) as well as various vertical application sectors applying the ICT, such as Energy, Health, Automotive, Transport, Media, etc. The Fed4FIRE experimenters had opportunity to experience all advantages of the Fed4FIRE tools, to configure and successfully execute planned experiments. The feedback received from the experimenters on usability of Fed4FIRE facilities and tools was very positive. The Future Internet experimentation require a broad availability of facilities offering testing resources which apply the latest developed networking solutions and computing technologies, including testbeds established by the most relevant actual and recent research activities across Europe and worldwide.
